    Curious to find the age of my P Bass, I typed the serial number in. I thought it was circa 2008, but this site not only tells me the exact model and colour, but it was built in May 2010. Nice bit of (probably) useful information. 😁 https://serialnumberlookup.fender.com/lookup/

    There was an old song by The Bodysnatchers I think, called The Boiler. It dealt with date rape and was quite harrowing. I think was banned by a lot of radio stations in the early 80's and I haven't heard it since.

    I always wanted to drive the London Underground tube train that I used to travel to school on. Back in those days (The mid to late 80's) they couldn't recruit enough staff because of the unsociable hours etc. Most young lads my age would rather be out clubbing at midnight on a weekend than working. I applied for a job and got one as a train guard and was a fully qualified tube driver within 18 months. The whole thing changed when they abolished the Guards job and left the driver on his own. We did get a wage rise though. I did 34 years on it and took early retirement a few months ago in April. So I did get my dream job in a way. 😊

    I dont use it myself. I gather it is most prevalent in mixing to keep things smooth. A good example of overuse of compression, is the stereo version of The Beatles Revolution, where the drums are squashed into a compressed ball in the left channel.

    Pretty Green by The Jam. That only had one note for the first few bars. This was quickly followed by Tomorrow never Knows, by The Beatles. That also only had er.... one note

    Ah, The spent force creatively dude.

    Why is it a 2018 mix when its 2022?

    Fleetwood Mac are a parody of themselves these days. After sacking their talented guitarist/frontman and filling his shoes with the Crowded Heartbreakers I lost all respect for them.

    I suppose because they had the rhythm instruments all recorded together on 1 track of the 4 track tape, if you wanted to boost a frequency, you would boost everything on that track. Boosting low end of the bass guitar would also boost the kick drum etc.

    The stereo versions of most Beatles albums are considered inferior to the mono versions. If anything, the stereo versions are 'defective'.

    Its based on a 1963 Precision. I believe they had a 7.25 radius with a 43mm nut width. It is quite a chunky neck.
  21. Hobbayne
    Thanks Daveybass 😁

Here are the specs: Faded Sonic Blue Hand rolled finger board Clay dots Light relic Rosewood P width neck Mint Green scratchplate Period correct 1960’s Fender Precision logo Thumb rest below strings.
