  1. Past hour
  2. But it often is cheaper to buy off the shelf.
  3. Ironically, and though I admire his ability, my favourite Level 42 songs are the ones without slap. Some of the ridiculous "pop"s, especially in 70's music simply don't fit in to the song.
  4. I'm indifferent to Wals - I think there was one song with a fretless in it which was OK, but otherwise they're indistinct.
  5. Cheese beanos is one of my favourite meals (cheese on toast with beans on top).
  6. If looking at a for sale item I'll factor in the cost of a refin. The laughable one is "professionally relic'd".
  7. I skip ads or posts naming an instrument or calling it "she".
  8. This might be the amp: https://www.glockenklang.de/en/products/bass_systems/blue soul.htm? Hope I’m not muddying the waters.
  9. First of three gigs this year "dawn sarf" tomorrow. A long drive but three of us share the driving and we are staying the night in Northampton before heading backup the road.
  10. Just got one of these this arvo in the mail. Really busy tonight and tomorrow, so I'm just going to charge it fully and wait until Sunday to spend some time with it. I wasn't going to buy one, but it was discounted on ebay, I tried another code I thought was expired, but it took it, and my PP acct had a few $ in it from a minor partial refund for another item so it cost $A61 out of pocket, or 29.60UKP.
  11. I asked hypothetically. Would feelings about them be the same if he had included them. We'll obviously never know.
  12. Thanks for your comments-yes a truly beautiful looking and sounding bass.
  13. I was just about to say the same thing. They always seem to have way too many strings and knobs too, and ridiculously OTT figured wood.
  14. Leo didn't put blocks on any bass during his ownership. The rest is hypothetical. Supposing he'd designed the Ricky and called that a Precision?
  15. Yamaha basses. A company that makes speed boat engines, calculators and motorbikes can't make good guitars. Single cut basses where the top bout runs half way up the fretboard. Shudders.
  16. Can I assume Leo didn't put blocks on a Precision from inception to selling up in 1965? But what if he did...
  17. Happy Feet - Paul Whiteman And His Orchestra
  18. Yes. Yes. Yes. The worst sacrilege there is. I would buy a Classic Vibe 70s mocha if it had a proper neck on it. Even now I'd buy a body to put the right neck on it.
  19. Today
  20. Either way you could use a plug cutter and make your own dowel so you can have the grain whichever way you want it, luthiers usually do this.
  21. I like the black blocks on a maple board, mainly because of Aston Barrett’s 71 jazz bass, but agree with the rest
