So what’s a pornhub then, should I click on the link?

That’s a really nice looking bass...( I grew up in Broadstone).

Gay bar - electric 6

Hi team...

Bass chatter Marky screen asked first so, it’s found a home.

Just arranging delivery now.

Hi,

this is the width across the neck pocket, if this helps...

it’s slightly tapered wider at the bum end at 6.6 ish through to about 6.4ish sorry about the lack of exact measurements 

Appears to be made out of wood.

I'm near Kingston upon Thames, no I’m not going to post it. I can drop off if you are within a 10 mile radius.

there are cracks in the paint.

could be another waste of your time and money for anyone interested ?

I have 5 pairs to give away for free....

I bought another uneeded instrument last week which arrives tommmorow. The wife is going to flip....

So... The 5 most funny inventive lies / excuses will be sent these.

I'm local. The wee ones school just sent out a details of a Kingston education service to find local music tuition. You just state age, instrument and they do the rest, I'll dig it out for you.

Haven't been in either of those pubs for years.... (Hermit dad)

I have a rickenbacker 4001 & a rickenbacker 4003. They are so very different. The 4001 is so versatile I can get smooth or clank. The 4003 is all about clank. It sounds like an angry wasp and nasally and is absolutely bam pot with over drive great fun if you are in the mood. A friend has a 4003 which seems more versatile than my own and I don't know why? . I have often thought to sell the 4003 and try something else. Its just a thing and there are so many things... I'd love a Ritter. I'd love a really nice jazz, I'd love a insert the name of your favourite brand here.... I think ill buy what appeals to me, and then come on basschat and tell everyone about it.......spoiler alert I just bought an epiphone jack casady.

The ladies don't usually go for the bottom end

There's a guy at my gym who spends 5 full minutes doing pelvic thrusts as a warm up.

Even though it may feel good, some things are not meant to be done in public.

(I bet he thinks he's really good at it)

When it's listed again, or any thing else they sell for that matter, make sure you place the winning bid...then write back and say that you couldn't possibly buy it for that price and you are only willing to buy it for what it's worth....

I am sure they will see that you are being reasonable....

Edit
Don't listen to me I'm full of useless advice, you may be legally obliged to pay....

Dudes,
I bought a 25 inch scale bass for the wee man. It came with round wounds. I think flat wounds would be easier on little fingers, I also have a preference for flats...

I have written off to a maker of custom strings to see if they are interrested however...

I was wondering if it may be possible to modify a longer scale string to suit?

The bass maker thinks not...... stating the machine head is too small for an E string to 1) fit inside and 2) the string core will likely snap once wound on.

So with that in mind I had and idea...either tie a knot in the "ball end" / "bridge end" or bolt that end between metal plates and and then snip the end off (leaving the tappered / threaded end to be wound onto the machine head...

Any thoughts?

So this arrived in the post...

...actually theres a bass guitar sized box in the hall.

I'm trying a new approach. I haven't touched it and my wife hasn't asked what's inside.

If this works I'll call this Schrodingers bass theory.

That is a lovely bass, and yes it does look nicely balanced. I apologise for my silly sense of humour...

Hey, Weststarx!

Well this is all a very subjective matter of course, but like any of us, I'm rather partial to my own choice of instrument.
You can see it in my signature and profile, but here's a bigger, better photo where I'm playing it, albeit "unplugged"...

It's a toss up between the brunette and the Asian ....

Everybody wins.....

Thanks...that's the one....I need to save some pennies for this, and buy when mrs watton earth is not watching.....(shhhhhh)

Hi,I'm going to buy the wee one a bass. I remember seeing a half size hofner 500/1 style bass on a forum, but I haven't been able to find it again.

Does anyone remember seeing this also?

So I found some time to have a look at the gubins....and try and wire up the pickups.....ummmm WTF? it appears to run on some kind of electricity, and magic.

So the next thing was to attach all the bits, didn't take long...


And so the final stage ......do nothing for about 6 months, nothing, not a sausage. life gets in the way....

So the next thing I did was to paint polyeurathane onto the neck with several successive coats....It took an age to dry properly.

I did this in the loft, as it was the only space that children and wife dare not go! Unfortunatly somehow tiny pieces of xmas tinsel got embedded into the poly....ummmmm f*ck it! Merry christmas basschat.

come on brain between the 2 of us we can think of something.....

So I worked the glue into the split and the headstock smells minty fresh too mmmmm!

[attachment=146003:IMAG1432.jpg]

- remove the split side, glue and reclamp
- take the lazy ass approach...
