How about borrowing inspiration from the guiding rails on CAM milling systems? Make one rail live and the other earth for the pickup connections using roller bearings and adapt the Seymore Duncan Triple shot system for your own pickup housing? That way you don't have to faff about with pickup switching via the rail system.

On the train home from seeing Pino Palladino and Blake Mills. Sat within touching distance although on the wrong side of the stage so didn’t see anything from the front. Cracking gig if a little low on crowd interaction. Got lucky post gig and managed to grab a very brief chat and handshake with them both as they bolted into a taxi avoiding the crowd waiting out front. Massive hands! 😄 Fender Mustang? Pair of jazz pups and a bunch of switches. Rob Allen 4 & 5 string and a Godin acoustic guitar or some sort. Blake Mills had some interesting guitars too

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark - Robert Cray Band

Agreed. I learned a few unspoken rules in my band years ago. Don't suggest ideas for new songs or any intros or arrangements. And don’t comment on anyone's playing unless it's complimentary. We might have rehearsed once in the last 5 years. I think some bands are not cut out for rehearsal. We gig enough, we have more than enough material and very in tune with each other musically. I truly believe it's why there are no band tensions,disagreements and the reason we've been together since 2007. Daryl

I have hopes/aspirations to make not only standard PB JB and SR models with PEEK fingerboards available but also have them warehoused in the UK so that delivery doesn't require 6-8 weeks wait. (And...the warehousing has already been found.) Ideally it would be great to have something similar in the US as well given the shipping costs are so reasonable. However managing stock and always ensuring there is a contingency of necks available might be a challenge given the lead in times for fabrication...but how that gets managed really depends on the level of demand and my plans are very much led by demand. Yes, when the website is set up there will be a provision for custom orders. I'm loathed to call it a 'Custom Shop' but that's what it will effectively be. Pretty much anything could be possible if you have the 3D model or we can modify one that we already have. Custom fingerboard inlays, compound radii and woods, compensated nuts, fanned frets, fingerboard bindings, coloured weave, choice of fret material, through body necks, custom dimensions, custom decals even twisted neck profiles are possible if there is a 3D model available. Maybe at some point in the far off future true tempered frets might even be possible. The custom orders will be shipped direct from China obviously.

I See A Darkness — Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Why the hell would Geddy and Alex give a flying f*** about anyone's 'concerns'? They have nothing to prove, and unsurprisingly have a desire to perform the music they created. They've found a drummer who appears to have no problems with the level of technical ability required. It's going to be entirely down to individuals whether they go to the gigs or not. Betdt of luck to them. If tickets are reasonably priced, I may go along, I haven't seen Rush since May 1983.

Appears to be if you join Prime, otherwise it's 3.5 times that.

For the few that don't know, or know of, Rob, take it from me that there is not a Gooder Egg to be had. Top-notch bloke. Just sayin'.

Can't see any signs of him in https://courtlistings.co.uk/magistrates-court-listings/leicester#past-section PS: Mick Mason, not Danny Sapko.

The day the light went out - Genesis

The 40 is a tenner more than the 60 🙂 Hope your wander makes you feel greater.

Done for one batch of four. Thanks.

You put your buckfast in a glass? Must be a posh boi from Edinburgh...

Jack Cassidy Fretless - I've just placed on the For Sale page here. The others are non-bass: Eastman DM-1 Gypsy-Jazz Guitar, Zither Banjo, posh (expensive) ukulele...some others too...just can't remember them at bedtime!

I used to be in a band with a guitarist called Rory Lyons & a drummer name of Luke Warmbathe - my name was dull by comparison so I was known as Willy Stroker🙄

I have neither the inclination or the space to play a DB but I do have 2 EUBs which I'm loving playing. If you are anywhere near one of the Bassbash's keep an eye on the gear lists and pop along try some gear out and see what you get on with 🙂
