  1. Probably worth altering the thread title to reflect your change of price.
  2. I think the theorbo's much better looking, myself.
  3. If it ain't baroque, don't fix it
  4. Japan, 'Quiet Life'.
  5. I broke my collarbone years ago and learned to use a (right-handed) mouse with my left hand as a result. It didn't take particularly long (about a month?). This might help.
  6. Could you rout the front of the neck for a trussrod and add a fretboard? With a bit of tactical hacksawing and routing of the back of the board you could probably add Happy Jack's rigid steel L-beam You'd need to raise the bridge, but that should be reasonably easy.
  7. Could you get away with three strings? That should reduce the problem considerably - and maybe to a manageable level, at least for a while?
  8. Michael Head, in Bristol. Enjoyed the support more - Vona Vella, in particular. They will go far, with any luck.
  9. Some ar$e on a motorbike.
  10. I don't like reliced instruments, but this looks really good. GLWYS!
  11. Mmm. I gather these are lovely, but I cannot abide that headstock... Best wishes for a rapid and painless recovery, anyhow.
  12. FWIW, I can't see any pics on the link.
  13. I acquired a pBone some years ago. But I like my neighbours, so...
  14. There is also the SRH500, semi-acoustic. https://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_srh500f_nnf.htm
  15. How would anyone know if it was genuine?!
  16. Paddy bought a cheap-but-not-nasty Hohner from me for his son. All went well and I'm pleased it's gone to a good home. Thanks
  17. I persuaded John to buy a bass off me As usual, he's been a nice bloke and a good chap to do business with. This is at least the third time we've traded, and I'm sure we'll do so again.
  18. That was why I bought a Peavey T-40 - or at least why I originally wanted one. Passive, but capable of making any (fretted) bass noise known to man. But by the time I actually bought one, I had well over a dozen basses.
  19. Ah, interesting. Hadn't occurred to me as a possible source of "wrongness".
  20. I really like that. And I've seen the photo of the glittery pink Retrovibe. It's a sight to behold.
  21. Thinking about it, this does sound familiar. I just put it down to my shoddy playing.
  22. Thanks, folks. It's not major, at present. I'll feed back as things proceed.
