You're free to disagree. Just as I'm free to disagree with you. But it's not ok for you to cast aspersions about band chemistry in bands you know nothing about based upon a few words on a web forum. I think you've taken that too far. Also, in my crappy amateurish world, we're the ones paying for studio time and we'll use it as we see fit. Feel free to disagree, of course.

Favouritism! And it's not as if I'm that much further up the road. Damn you, DHL!

The stock pickups could be great, as I define great to mean. I am open to this possibility - I'm not one of these people that change pickups as soon as the bass arrives. Nothing will get done until I've heard it in cans, through the amp and at war volume in a band context.

I have all my eggs in 2 baskets, if that helps?

I'm not holding out on yous... my delivery got bumped

Don't move then!

Yas, the three point love make a welcome change from the usual derision. Why are you top loading? Preference, or strings too short? Just curious - no wrong answers.

Red flagging all over the place. It's not quite full of lorem ipsum but it's not far off. No contact details, no company registration details, totally smells of scam site.

Sorry, that meant nothing without context. I have briefly alluded to it on here (perhaps in the "giving up" thread), but we're having a terrible time finding a new singer for our covers band. So far nothing but timewasters, wannabes, poseurs and weirdos

People who talk $hit tend to do it in vast quantities...

https://www.warmanguitars.co.uk/product/jazzbar-bass-humbucker-13-31k-8-56-h-4-wire-overwound/ Will confirm if the measurements work out soon.

Yes, but with side walls:

Why would all 50,000 BC members be UK residents?

You'll have to try way harder than that to get rid of me, damn you!

Yes, yes it was definitely something you said.

Do as I say, not as I do. A classic! Which colour did you go for?

I'm not a fan of these types who assume everyone in the vicinity is on board with their antics, good natured though it may be.

Must be nice...

I'm a 5' 9" shortarse, didn't bother me...

Would pay to see you use this combo. The keytar and the roller skates. No skates, deal's off.

Ahh well, in for a penny, in for £250...

How do you put up with being a member of BC then?

The logo can make it clear that it's not the genuine article in a way that isn't crass (J!zz Bass) or naff (Pretender Bass). When I made a bitsa, I put an "Imprecision Bass" logo on it, late 70s/early 80s lettering. I thought it looked pretty good, and had some thought put into that it works on several levels (the imprecision of it not being a genuine Fender, the imprecision of the ham fisted git bashing the strings... etc.)

It was a question, not a statement. But it was unnecessarily sarcastic and a bit combative, so sorry about that. The context of what I write is always crystal clear in my head, I need to remember that everyone else isn't in my head... As someone who collects fine vintage instruments (and can I stress that I don't think there's anything wrong with that whatsoever - I like when people are discerning about their own stuff, I know I'm an omnivorous yet picky so-and-so), where do you stand on the whole faker decal thing? I suspect that you would disapprove, but I'm ready to be surprised!

That was fun. And you're all wrong. FIGHT
