Squier VM fretless are about the same money used (£200?)

State of independence - Donna Summer

Stored in a garage? Doesn't inspire confidence.

We've only had chrome for a decade??? My memory isn't that bad...

Space cowboy - jamiriquai

I saw a documentary with David Bowie doing that.

Apollo 9 - Adam Ant

😱😱

Time (clock of the heart) - Culture Club

After my recent 51 "build" I was considering another, somewhat more complicated and challenging build. Your comments about only getting one chance of getting it right gave me a reality check...leave it to those who have the tools and the ability.

I had one for a while. Far too cumbersome to be used regularly. I don't know why they're called "Stingray killers" - I didn't see them as directly comparable.

I was thinking about doing something similar with a Envelope Filter. Far too complicated for a numpty like me who struggled wiring a set of pickups, but I did think about it.

That looks like a regurgitated pizza at 2am on a Saturday morning. However much it costs it's too much.

Automaton - Jamiriquai

If you're wanting to go vintage then Nickel is the way to go - I think we've only had Chrome for just over a century. Finding said nickel parts on the other hand is a different matter. Chrome parts are everywhere...not so with nickel, gold, brass, etc. Why not buy a cheap set of hardware and leave it in a bucket in the garden for a few months.

I was listening to "You can call me Al" earlier when I realised that even though I know every word I don't have a clue what the song is about. I also remember my brother, who was a huge The Jam fan, suddenly realising what "The man in the corner shop" was about. I expect I'm not alone in this. What songs do you know nothing about? E.g. whiter shade of pale.

If you're looking at lightweight cabs then Vanderkley should definitely be on your list. Superb tonal qualities and great build quality. There are a couple (maybe three) available in the market place. If you're lucky enough to find one used there is also a combo available as well as a stand alone Class D head.

Natural woman ( neither flat nor sharp) - Aretha Franklin

Dancing and Swinging - Light of the World

Keep me hanging on - Diana Ross and the Supremes

All night long - Lionel Rich Tea (again)

more sensibly priced than many... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225528355776?hash=item3482899bc0:g:RbwAAOSwWv5kOS-I&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwMtyyO1F9pbvdZP0pC8hUOkN002dYSjH0lrSzti9w%2FxtORSusRdi%2FEPnjdd6ymfb2uIc6aN8nNsQvfDRMPYtfaP%2FuyBseos48sPlsquSI4w8%2BVQRncAB8XE3FJFo5VQJdlPF2K7BHusoOk5dZPff5PwsDgrL2HDw6aewF4MXu%2FkAqwf6NwNKmtwMaUoD4XhRMme%2F0a9%2BhhV2gX0U6YUno5LPBaen2BGEMaDexSv1%2FRZUr2AiDUJT%2BTGMmBi5PMTG%2Bg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8D10-PwYQ
