Ok, not an image and might have been seen before, but this really ‘spoke to me’…

Stop being coy - get off the fence and tell us how you really feel...

Child In Time - Deep Purple

You are right, he is everywhere, all over youtube and all over here. If I never saw a video with his face on it again it would still be too soon. While I find it hard to accept the idea of hating someone you don't know, he is someone who could change that feeling for me. Don't know what it is, just absolutely detest videos with the guy.

I like him. I like his irreverant short Yorkshireman schtick and that he's, obviously, a tidy player behind it. From the serious moments in his or others videos he seems a nice guy as well.

I used SIT strings a while back. Didn't think there was anything particularly different about them to any other budget string, although I did like that they felt kind of rough/gritty. Been using Elixirs for years. No reason to stray from these.

I don't know if it is big brother influencing my youtube feed, but he seems to be everywhere in bass related content at the moment. I quite like the guy. While he isn't a virtuoso like Berthoud or Wooten, he does seem to be a good player with a lot of character, and if music is about performing he has that nailed. He also comes across well on camera, and while his punk persona is fun, there does seem to be a more thoughtful person (and player) under the safety pins. Mind you I'd be scared to meet him in person! (and yes I know there is another thread about the music thieves he exposed)

Kids - Julie Christmas

The Kids Are Alright - The Who

From the thread title, I thought this was going to be an erotic dating thread.....

Thanks. Did you mask off the area where the speaker meets the front baffle? I would have thought that should be done, to ensure a tight fit, but happy to be advised otherwise. Rob

I've had the horn for an Explorer for as long as I can remember and have considered building one from a kit; I just know in my heart that the expectation will be higher than the finished realisation. It's not in my nature to just go with the stock kit, I'd be putting different hardware on it to somehow elevate it to something better, but end of the day I'll be stuck with a finished kit guitar of very little value, which I'd probably end up breaking for spares. I check all the usual outlets and to be honest, I'd be happier just sourcing a Tokai one for less ££ than I'd throw at a kit/updates.

On the prototype, I put the handle on after applying Tuffcab. The advantage of masking is that it guarantees that the handle will sit flush but at the handle dimensions are variable (on most strap handles). If you are not going for a full-on Artex type of finish, then the handle will be secure and in my case is sat well on top of the Tuffcab.

If the Kids are United - Sham 69

Do they sound much different? I’d expect a bit more warmth from the wood neck. Totally agree they look right though now, especially with the clear/ no PG.

This is a great illustration of flooding the stage with static colours and adding in some illumination of the instruments. Adding in a little up light/ flood of the drums would have solved the distance problem. I love the intense blue shots. No flashing lights means you concentrate on the band.
