Ah, I thought you meant something else there. "Jockeys for playing in the pocket". Wish I hadn't said that now

It needs to be chanted over and over to some doomy backing. Backwards maybe

And here's Mary from Manhattan Transfer with your next clue...

Nicely done

It sounds like the subtitle to a Social Sciences PhD. I used to a librarian, so I've seen a few Reminds me of this https://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ EDIT: Although I think I do understand the three types of personality described. They're different ways that people respond to questions of which they have knowledge. Some don't share fully and protect their knowledge, some share but in a way that reinforces the power dynamic of their knowledge, some are hung up on absolute exactness in discussion. I guess, kinda Jeesh, too long in Social Sciences... You think you're out...

You put an awful lot of work into that, I'd say it definitely deserves another chance. Is a trip to a luthier an option ? See if they can sort out the neck ? Maybe some of the Basschat bass building folk can offer some advice. Even if it's heavy - just play it at home. Enjoy your handiwork. You absolutely have to resurrect it - you made a bass !

Now we're getting somewhere - slightly (but only slightly) nearer my age...hair's closer... But....something's not quite right - she's feeling something, but I don't think it's joy... I may have to do y'all a selfie showing the real joy of soldering when I get home.

Quite possibly Although the converse is true as well !

Gawd, what a train crash the new site is.....endless scrolling, even after searching. Just out of curiosity, mind. I've only dealt with BassDirect twice, first time was annoying, second time...well, such an insulting experience that I'd not pish on them if they were on fire. Rudeness and lying - never again. Shame, as they do gave some nice stuff.

Brilliant

Well, I skimmed through his selection and read the section titles without watching the video....I only recognised 4 of the names. I really am not very rock

Well, SBL's been going a long time - well onto Season 7 or 8. Character arcs and shipping are inevitable. It's late-stage Buffy territory.

I stand by my reply. I do not agree with your comments and I don't believe the context (of which I was aware) of your reply changes the tenet of what you wrote, nor the validity of my comments.

"What about the voice of Geddy Lee How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?" "I know him and he does!" "Well, you're my fact-checkin' 'cuz" 'Stereo' - Pavement

It's a matter of personal taste as to whether one thinks something has artistic merit, or any form of merit at all To say someone who doesn't like something is merely as not liking it because it is 'outside the norm' or is 'failing to understand' it is ignoring the essentially subjective nature of taste. It absolutely implies that you have a privileged viewpoint, and IMHO not an opinion anyone engaged in an artistic pursuit should hold. As an example - I don't have a great deal of time for representative visual art, but I don't regard anyone who likes it as missing any point or being unable to appreciate alternatives. It's just their taste, and they're perfectly entitled to it YMMV, of course

You're missing the whole joy of soldering angle Oh, did I mention that before ?

Go to studio in the middle of nowhere in Quebec. Smoke a lot of fine Canadian weed. Record an album or two. It'll all make sense.

Watch the punters try and dance in 7/4

A while back, having never really listened to them before, I spent a month or so going through Rush's back catalogue. The only two albums I found I could get into were Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures (my recommendation to you @sammybee). Although I find it best to ignore the lyrics - which do seem to be written by an 6th-former who has yet to grow out of an 'Ayn Rand' phase Amazing musicians, without a doubt, but that's not enough for me.

The control knob arrangement looks a little 'Friday afternoon after lunchtime leaving drinks'

Deffo worth having a chat with them about your requirements as @ped says - very helpful chap.

Why have the long horn on the bottom ? They missed a (cheap) trick to offset the inevitable neck dive.

I think arrangement is the key. The band Tortoise used to play with two drummers and two bassists - their interlocking parts were fantastic to listen to. I played in a improv band (with a BC member - sorry, names escape me) with two basses on the go. You just have to think in a different way to that which usually would.

And here they are
