I love it when people say stuff like this then somebody else posts a photo of the new Fenderson Gibfandango in candy apple purple and all your best intentions go out of the window as the GAS rushes in. Let's see how long this lasts.

Baby Love - The Supremes

Members with a better memory than me will remember the username of one of our members who owns the rehearsal space in Welwyn Garden City, The Farm Factory. I'm sure that he could give us some insight into what it takes to have such a facility.

Welcome sir. If you are in the Hertfordshire area you are welcome to try some basses before deciding. I'm sure similar offers will be forthcoming if you let us know where you are.

Still thinking about gold or antique bronze knobs instead of plastic. Need to find some that fit the theme.

If that's the case, how does that bode for the future? Getting harder to find venues to play, going to be more difficult to find places to rehearse. Might as well give up now.

Can you dig it ? - The Mock Turtles

Couldn't have done it without you, John.

Martin Herrick (@Herrick pickups) will 3D print you one.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer - everybody at Xmas

There comes a point where playing a song as it was recorded must become an absolute bind, give the musicians a chance to be creative and they may just hit on something that others love. I saw Aswad where halfway through a song they seemed to get into an argument over a mis-played part only for Mr Forde to challenge Mr Gadd with "do you think that I would do that?" and launch into "54-46 was my number ". Superb intro for a classic tune.

I bought a defretted L2000 with the same finish recently. Must get some photos done.

Lilac Wine - Katie Melua

I wouldn't argue with her. She sounds like a keeper.

Who are you? - The Who

Glad that you have managed to assemble a rig that you are happy with after your horrendous bad luck last year.

So 99% done. Needs a string retainer (on order) and a the copper tape under the bridge tidied. Intonation is slightly off - I'll do this when I haven't been harassed by the dog. Thinking about gold knobs instead of plastic. Tuners are Gotoh Reverse - essential left handers - annoyed me at first and I bought a right handed gold set but now I have got used to them I may leave them on. Hopefully have the build thing out of my system now.

Is this correct?

Green/yellow wire goes to the bridge

Happy to learn from my own mistakes. Please let me know what I need to do.
