Oh, all the right mistakes. Brown seat. Exhaust wrap. The style police will be after him.

Is this the first time you've encountered Nilo then? You're in for a treat.

Grind 4-strings were 34", only the 5 and 6 strings were 35". My Zephyr/C5 5-string was 34". The neck profiles were slightly different, the C5 was a bit fatter than the Grind - I think it would have been the same as a Cirrus.

And as you don't have to play the 1, you've got all that extra time to work out what chord he's playing. The skill I'd rely on is a bit rusty now, when I was playing in the house band at an open mic night I could read the guitarist's fingers.

Ah, so the question is whether a fretless bass is preciousss, my preciousss. Nassty Baggins, taking preciousss.

Marillion and Fish. I think both sides benefitted.

Could it be built with 12mm ply, and if so, would it need some bracing?

I think it's probably a Zephyr. The Grind had a cut-out area on the lower horn for slap players to get in under the strings. Zephyrs did have contrasting woods in the body though, so I'm not sure. Grinds have through-body stringing and Zephyrs don't. Zephyr 5: Grind 5 BXP:

I wasn't going by the circuit but by https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/l4_bass_preamp_documentation.pdf - page 3 is about the controls. I was actually looking for information on the distortion.

If only my former band was still going, I'd have the perfect excuse for that (used kazoo on Gino and for the whistling solo in Walk like an Egyptian).

The stain on the back above the battery box is because the battery box lid is missing and somebody's used sticky tape to hold the battery in. I did manage to find a replacement battery box cover for a Thumb 5 which would be just the same - I may have mentioned it on here. The stains on the front - the darkening above the pickup is maybe from an arm or a jacket sleeve, don't know about the ones around the controls that look like liquid has run down it.

No, it's linear taper.

He makes jolly good cables.

That's the mystery.

It's not fretting at the moment, but wait till someone uppercuts it.

There's very few songs I hate. Red Red Whine (in fact any cover by UB40), Perfect by Fairground Attraction (I could probably tolerate it again by now), and anything by Paul McCartney solo or with Wings.

Is there some convergent evolution of threads going on here?

I shall await your verdict with interest. One minor point - I'm not sure if the documentation is wrong or the control is backwards, but it says the Mid control on channel 2 is counterclockwise for boost and clockwise for cut.

Giving away clothing is bound to make people like you.

So it was a previous life that he did something bad in then.

I have no use for it but I would like to be able to do it. Not so much that I could be bothered to learn how to, mind. Probably less painful than uppercutting it.

AIs have to start somewhere.

ABM or Steinberger (original or licenced).

Are we back to this soft masturbating thing again?
