That was by default as she's using my bass. She now finds 4 strings oddly constricting

Very pleased! It's a nice mixture, including: Norwegian Wood Wish You were here Modern Love There She Goes Bet you look good on the Dance Floor

Something from Jimmy Haslip today. This is his complete bass performance on the tune 'Homecoming' from the 1985 Yellowjackets album, 'Samurai Samba'. I chose it because it is mostly an easy read but there are some tricky fills in there so be warned! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/homecoming-yellowjackets/

Hi Rob, yes I’d glue and plug the holes, preferably with hardwood and let it dry and re drill your new holes

Hi I'm pulling together a bitsa jazz, a nice Jazz body with very decent pickups and a decent bridge courtesy of @sifi2112 with a rather nice, quite old MIM jazz neck. The neck is wide and thin and its great to play. The body is not a Fender body but was made for Si. I've just got around to putting the neck on the body and it's very tight fit but a club hammer and cold chisel sorted that out. (joke joke). The holes in the neck don't quite line up with the holes in the body. Its about 2-3mm out. I can see the edges of the holes in the neck through the holes in the body. If they were a long way apart I'd simply not worry, but as they are so close, I don't want to damage the neck and I really don;t want to drill more holes in the body. So what's the best solution, do I fill the holes in the neck with bamboo rods and decent wood glue which I have, then redrill the holes when the filling is dry or something else. All advice welcomed. Thanks Rob

Things you didn't think you'd need to do: remote login to the organ from the Macbook... I have a 24" monitor built into the music desk so that I can play from PDFs. There is a spare USB socket near ground level around the back where I could connect a USB stick or portable drive. I'm thinking that rather than that, I could try remotely connecting the Mac to the organ's PC and do it that way. So, some online searches pulls up that MS makes the Remote Desktop app for Mac. I did need to run a script on the organ's PC to alter some permissions (again an online search sorted that out). I then remoted into the PC from the Mac and copied across assorted PDFs. I have encountered one issue that I've not definitely resolved yet. When you load a PDF (enScore) page forward stops working after the initial scroll to the start of the music. It might resolve when I next power up as I didn't do a re-boot after the changes to the PC. If not, the next thing to check will be drivers I suppose... (a big reason why I switched to Mac at home 8 years ago).

PM'd!

Up and running already , dive in .

Definitely try the Updater. Then if not, the official L6 repair place is in Norfolk. Go direct to them. When the repair place was in Milton Keynes I needed a repair on a Pod XT Pro Rack and they charged me £20.
