Bought a very short (23.5") scale bass for the other half to use. After ages, finally managed to get nylon wound strings for it, custom made by Pyramid. Bass is a 5-string, low E high C, hence the time taken to find the right set.

Got it back from a tech who did a nice setup, fret polish, board oiling, string fitting etc. etc. "Nice resonant low B on this bass!" he said...
I'd never opened the string packet, just handed it straight over for the setup, and thus not noticed they'd made a low B set instead.

Yesterday in America it was 06/23.

Today it looks more like 1923.

When you're at the airport waiting to check in, decide to have a quick browse on Farcebook while you're waiting, and the first pic that pops up on your screen is this. The algorithms are taking the pish.

oops kinda accidentally bought a bass ...

Is there anyone near Ross-On-Wye ?  There's a "Collection Only" bass I'm interested in , hoping some kind soul could do the middle man job.  700 mile round trip rules this one out 🙂 

My 5 year old son has just been chatting to me and checking out my basses. His observation was that one of them is 'broken and not right'.

I suspect he is not the first and will not be the last person to conclude this in relation to headless basses.

Oh hell. Lost my resolve 3 weeks shy of a 2 year bass buying abstinence 😞

Yesterday I bought a Nepalese winter woolly hat. It has dreadlocks. This has pleased me immensely. 

Just completed my first pickup and active preamp install. Pretty chuffed with myself

NBD tomorrow....!!! 😁

5 string fretless is the BEST. I am so glad I got his HB monstrosity.

My first cold for 2 years. Bleugghh.

If I were an old Dimarzio Model One, where would I be hiding?

Well done on the job front, not easy sometimes. Been there! So well done and good luck
