I love to play to or listen to tapping being it on bass or Chapman stick. When you listen to the likes of Michael Manring (who is my favourite and a fretless player), Tony Levin, Nick Beggs, or even what Stuart Hamm did on his three first albums, it can be really musical and entertaining, and not simply showing off.

The Zep tribute played at the Nightrain in Bradford on Friday night, a hometown gig for 60% of the band these days and the only one we're playing anywhere near locally all year. We hadn't played (or rehearsed) together for a month, so it a bit rusty but a pretty good performance overall. A few people reckoned it was a bit loud at the start of the set, although a muso mate of mine who was near the back reckoned it sounded awesome! First gig since the drummer got his driving ban, so the logistics were a bit of a challenge! I think the reality of the situation has started to affect him and he even managed to forget his bass drum pedal! Fortunately, there was one there we could borrow, so no harm done. Same rig as normal (Fender Jazz / Handbox amp / Berg cab) and the new Vans pigskin hitops got an outing! Before and after show pics:

They were available from Modulus Graphite and Vigier, among others during late 80's and 90's. MG started to put truss rods back after some people did not like the neck without a rod. I do not see it a must, but as some say, your mileage may vary.

Regardless of any other considerations a simple graph of bass price versus body timber price makes it clear that the more expensive a timber is, the better its properties as a tonewood.

You'd hate seeing me play a Thunderbird then. I'm far too many stone past being able to call myself stocky 😂 I really want to like the JC, but I think the body is a bit too cumbersome for me. This is the 2nd one I've had and 2nd one of sold for that reason. Maybe the 3rd will be different.......? I know what you mean. This shaped tuners on a bas designed before 1980 don't look right to me... -
