You use "just" too much - I'm 48 and what, you think you're better than me because you're sitting at home all zen like and enlightened, not lugging gear to venues, playing to three people and a dog? Ahh, I get it now! Only kidding - each to their own, but I would miss the playing with others aspect too much to do what you're doing - and my songwriting extends beyond "just" playing bass - I write lyrics and I offer ideas to the other guys, not that I can play their instruments, but I can ask "can you do X, can you play it like Y, how would Z sound?" - TL:DR I enjoy the instant back and forth collaboration in a room.

Says you. It's the bass, I'm telling you!

48 and still in an originals band here.

Do you wish this fact to be recorded? You thought you should be in, after all?

Ooft, nice! Well, you didn't explicitly say you were in, but seeing as you're declaring you're out, that implies that you thought you were in, so I will record accordingly.

Never mind, there's always next year!

What happened, what did you buy?

Thanks for the picture of the guts, saves me lifting the pickguard on mine! Can I just make a clarification? In my NBD thread, I said that some Neutrik right angle jacks gave me bother then went into further detail showing the change in design over the 20 years between the old one (which didn't fit properly) and the newer one (which fit absolutely fine). Whoops, forgot to check the muting Neutrik jack I have on my "posh" lead. Will check that and report back. Of course it's not a massive job to replace the cup with a plate, just annoying. I do like the look of the cup though, very clean and tidy looking.

According to lowendlobster, the Hipshot TWO point bridge replacement drops straight in to an Epiphone Newport which uses the same bridge and tailpiece arrangement as the Vintage Pro Tbird...

Blocks on a P bass, lovely. Blocks on any bass actually, come to think of it...

I'm sure you're not the only one to think this. I know I've thought it (and even taken that thought to extremes and said "B-sides only"). Trouble with this is, you might as well be an originals band then, playing stuff hardly anyone knows. And if your aim is to "educate" the masses on what "good" music is, then good luck with that - it's just arrogant nonsense to your average punter down the Dog and Duck, who simply wants a dance and a singalong to the hits.

Catchy name...

BTW, only kidding, T40s are great looking basses, would love to have a go of one some time - enjoy!

So I suppose the black hole you pulled that from is just going to collapse in on itself then, is it?

u ok hun?

Johnny Chip and the Pins

Yeah, well you would say that! Sorry, I said I was done extracting the michael...

Bloody hell, a FIVER? Like a for real fiver, not the joke fiver we always offer when someone asks for a valuation? That's a dangerous thing to drop in here, you meanie! Just as well I'm too far away.

No, it wasn't! I was as surprised as you, believe me. If you read the date the American way, it looks like you made it until March! OK, I'm done taking the mick now, honest.

I'd add Drag Race to that list - maybe it's the World Championships or something.

Are you an EB-0, 1, 2, 3 or 4? 6 is showing off.

Lay them side by side and run your finger over them side to side, probably feel something better than seeing it

I think the concept of The Inevitable Teaspoons is not to have a concept... or a plan, or a clue
