the bass in the pictures is just one I grabbed on the Internet and coloured to match mine. Mine is a much amended Harley originally modded by @discreet

I probably won't do anything but I'm having fun with photoshopping mock ups.

This one looks nice actually

Nodding vigorously at this too. When I play covers, bits that I like inevitably end up in my own repertoire. Altered, with my sound and style. All I am hoping to achieve here is finding more 'bits' I like. Not forgetting the pleasure I'm getting from just learning about modes. It's not a chore, it's a joy.

I quite like these obvs with transparent bg not white surround

But if you would....

I like the idea, but maybe a bit old dare I say relic'd

Got me one of these oldie fashioned looking P Bass things. It's fine just as it is. Kind of creamy/pale custard colour, off white scratchplate. However I was toying with the idea of a sticker. Thought I'd canvass suggestions. About the same place as this one and a similar size. By all means tell me not to do it at all, or warn me about damaging the finish - I don't wish to stop anyone joining in - but ideally I'm hoping for interesting ideas. It's all hypothetical as I'm laid up right now and looking to pass the time.

Don't forget to fund my brilliant idea too

Rather than retune the bass I think I'll use this to alter the pitch of the songs, just for rehearsal purposes. Thank you

Putting this in my 'favourite sentences' folder!

This is very important. I am not looking to learn to improvise. I have been jamming with other musicians for a very long time. I am interested in learning more about the theories underlying what I'm doing

Yeah kind of, I do like that guitar though. I'll share the pic with the guy see what he thinks

Firstly you haven't derailed anything you've deepened the conversation. Secondly the word default up there made me smile as I thought I was so clever when I 'invented' this idea the other day. Turns out maybe I didn't invent it any more than James Watt invented the steam engine. Dammit.

Can't recall if I watched it on Amazon, Netflix or via a download. Either way it's great.

@BigJim I have been thinking... dangerous I know... Could you perhaps have a thread where you announce where you're next heading from and to? Might find two or three of us could make use of one trip which will make it much more worthwhile for you.

I've noticed that since my c̶h̶e̶a̶p̶ affordable bass obsession began, my idea of an expensive bass has drastically altered. Anything over 300 is pricey, 500 astronomical, 850 and over just forget it.

Now I want to play Quake

When writing I use a lot of trancey stuff. Music I wouldn't usually choose to listen to. Always through headphones, always quite loud. I find it helps me to leave the 'real' world and immerse myself into my fictional one. Bands like Shpongle, Younger Brother and Hallucinogen. The more driving the beat the more rhythmically I write. If its really thumping I hit about 1500 words an hour.
