    I honestly heard this as "a*se about face"

    I think last time this came up, we decided it was OK for some but not for others. This chap may well be one of the others.

    Looks better than I was expecting. Kind of trompe-l'œil. Maybe it just needs a coat of slightly transparent colour for a Foto Flame effect?

    At least his Ofsteds are OK … https://www.sblacademy.org.uk Not sure about this new string to the bow, however: https://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/

    you called?

    Just a thought, but the preamp in this costs £200+ to get from Warwick. So, if you just want the preamp I can happily supply an awful RockBass 2-band pre along with this bass. Then all you have to do is swap them round, keep the pre and sell on the bass for £350 and you're laughing. I don't think I'm being serious, but you never know.

    Are you Experienced? I sure am, apparently.

    Scott's Banjo Lessons?
  17. nige1968
    Still here. I'll do it for £500 for Basschat people only (plus cost of your chosen delivery service if required). Still available more expensively elsewhere if you prefer, of course ...

    Pics or it didn't happen.

    Hey Plankton -- great (I assume) handle. Reminds me of a tannoy announcement I once heard at a festival: "Can Pond Life please go to Pond Life's mum's tent."

    Fun fact: there are no muscles in your fingers. Powered grip is supplied by the forearm muscles, while those in the hand govern precision grip. It may be that your problem is simply forearm strength, in which case the tool mentioned above may well help; alternatively it may also be a function of the size and shape of your hand, in which case you might need to modify your technique to compensate. It's hard to move the third finger in isolation for anatomical reasons, so if you're struggling it may be because of the way your fingers align over the frets (especially the lower ones). In which case, if you try to force things you risk doing yourself a mischief. If this is the case, maybe continue to use the workaround you've already found, and experiment with the position of your thumb behind the neck to see what's most comfortable. Without knowing more about the problem it's hard to give good advice -- can I suggest booking in with a tutor who can look at your instrument and your technique?

    (Starting this again, as I think my previous response sounded ambiguous and/or rude). Is it the stretch that's causing the problem, or just being able to do 1-2-3-4? You could rule out the former by starting at the 12th fret, for example. Can you do the opposable thumb thing, touching each finger in turn on to your thumb?
  22. nige1968
    Might have.

    Matt bought a Squier pickup from me and was thoroughly straightforward and pleasant throughout. Even when the courier tried to stitch us both up (but failed).

    Bobby bought a Squier pickguard from me and was thoroughly excellent throughout.

    Now advertised elsewhere, but still cheaper here innit.
