Isn't David (?) of Retrovibe/ProBass a member here? Probably worth a PM... [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1426073534' post='2714000'] Some sort of hovering factory? [/quote] If it's vacuum-cleaning instruments the OP is interested in, then a hoovering factory may be more appropriate.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1426085866' post='2714194'] The horn is not working on the cab in the first listing. That's a definite plus in my book! [/quote] They also have a BMW cab whose indicators don't work. [size=2]Edited for grammar atrocity[/size]

Unlike some of the other Gear4Music "decoration only" specimens, this one seems to have gained two extra strings!

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1426074946' post='2714026'] Don't let her hear mine then! [/quote] I see a new award category: track which most gasted Mrs xgsjx's flabber.

^^^ as in a lot of legal cases, the side with the best lawyer wins

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1426070371' post='2713941'] No, my pick up line is, 'HELLO, I'M ON THE SEX-OFFENDERS' REGISTER!!' - shouted loudly while gurning insanely and making the 'boob-honking' gesture. For some reason I've not had much success with it of late - must be getting old, I suppose. [/quote] Try it with one hand stuck down your trousers.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1426069881' post='2713934'] I let the Mrs hear what I've done so far & she was flabbergasted at how awful it is. I'm not changing it, it's a little different for sure, but I like it. [/quote] I don't know your Mrs, but that could be a recommendation... [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1426070640' post='2713944'] Its nice when they are suportive isnt it... Mrs C commented after a recent gig that she thought I was now too bald to play in public anymore. [/quote] Er, Errol Brown? Seal? Britney Spears?

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1426069611' post='2713929'] I actually took it as a compliment to myself that I can come up with hooks as good as that. [/quote] Or you both "draw inspiration" from the same source

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1426069773' post='2713931'] No. I find it easier to do standing up with a strap-on. OK, while I'm here... fingering A minor, G-string, bottom, bass players go deeper, slapping, both hands, wood, etc. etc. [/quote] Is that a pick-up line?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1426068158' post='2713905'] These basses have not been involved making a single piece of music that I have liked or listened to since I discovered what a bass guitar was. [/quote] How would you know?

[b]This[/b] is Chinese junk:

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1425942764' post='2712697'] I cut the string beyond the tuning post about to about the same length as the average penis. [/quote] So that's short for the beat-up backup bass, and long for the exotic handcrafted beauty?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1425920991' post='2712259'] Iron Maiden [i]hate[/i] ironing. [/quote] They have an unmarried woman who acts under their instruction.

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1425920297' post='2712245'] Bucks Fizz were all beer drinkers. (Have we had that one yet? I can't remember and I ain't gonna read through 10 million posts to find out!) SO THERE! [/quote] Does any one remember the court case brought by a rival band-costume designer who claimed that the girls' skirts were a rip-off?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1425919925' post='2712232'] Bon Jovi is not as good as all that. (Weak Earl Grey for me, please; no sugar, but with a twist of lemon..? Ta... ) [/quote] But Bon Scott was, och aye.

Intonation must be weird going by those bridge saddles...

I cut the string back so that it extends about 3" past the winding post before I start. This is "about right" for my Precision, but I've just got an Ibanez SR with smaller posts, and I ended up with more turns that I expected, so I might go for nearer 2" next time.

All white then, is this some kind of yolk?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1425918656' post='2712202'] Capo. Job done. [/quote] Tell that to Boris Johnson!
