Hm. A 5mm hex is loose, sloppy fit in the socket. A 4mm will probably not even touch the sides. I definitely don't need to go smaller. Wondering if Hohner have ever used 13/64" or anything else exotic.

If you have the adjustable brass nut, any self respecting luthier should be able to take a file to broaden the shoulders of the slots OR see if you can source just the B string stud for a 5 string and then simply utilise your existing E A D but move them up 1 string. Don't buy the plastic adjuster nut as they are cack, you'd do better to get the luthier/tech to simply file you a new blank nut (do you really need to adjust it?).

That could be lovely with a refin

Us "heads" called each other "man" all the time. Till we grew up.

Its been endlessly debated. Jagger wanted to tell the story of the horror. Yes the lyrics are crude but clever and written as we know by a pair of total Blues nuts who hung out with the best. I suppose being such a great upbeat tune is the weird part, but its art without the awful gratuitous language we hear so often nowdays. I think its a song that cannot be played anymore except by the guy who wrote it, and he wont do it anymore so its effectively gone forever.

Lovely, really! 😍

Turned out pretty good for free hand, but I will clean up the curves and add the bevel on the spindle sander next time I visit my folks Also the placeholder cheapo pickups I had in my spares box are total junk..

Next week I intend to take my Warwick corvette standard 4 string to a tech , to get it setup to B-E-A-D . The nut is Brass . I think it’s best to let the tech put a new set of strings on it also . Is it advisable to purchase a just a nut plastic nut ,and take that with me? ( not sure if they can do the string adjustment otherwise ) Also ,will the setup be for thicker strings ( a 5 string set for example ,without the need for a G string )? I notice that the shop do D’adarrio strings which are great , but not Warwick strings . I do prefer lighter strings . Basically I’d like to keep a light feel with the low sound ! Thanking you in advance

Oh, I like the look of that.....and switchable impedance down to 2 ohms.

Of course I was. It's always seemed ridicuous to me. Not entirely sure what point you make here?

Go on mate………..

Really cool! Enjoy your new purchase. I'd hate to think how much a string change sets you back. Hopefully you like the sound of worn in rounds 😃

So very much this. SBL (which I like overall) is awful for it, with Scott the main culprit although the absolute worst is a reggae mini course which is excruciating. Old white bloke playing bass with a Jamaican (from memory) drummer and dropping the "Ya man" like someone from a 1980s comedy sketch show with blackface and one of those dreadlock hats on. It's not even a particularly informative course. Literally any of the Donstrumental YouTube videos has so much more value in a tenth of the time.

I used to work with an aussie who just called everyone by the C word. "Hey, do you c**ts want to come to the pub. Im meeting a bunch of c**it's to watch some c**t sing some old s**t" Translation- "Would you gentlemen care to join me at the hostelry to spend time with my family and I as we enjoy a fine singer performing the classics?"

Oooh, lovely Boogie retro 👍

Absolutely - when did this start? Only had this said to me on a few occasions, and each time by either a young person or ( even worse ) someone nearer my age who thought they were still ‘hip’.

Cat? Hey daddy-o where all the hip cats at?

Not around in the early 70s then!

This looks very very cool https://www.gibson.com/en-gb/blogs/gibson-gazette/how-the-mesa-boogie-bass-800d-channels-50-years-of-bass-amp-innovation

Wow, that would be something! If I can sell 24 necks before next August, it'll set things up nicely for the following 12 months
