He wanted his signature bass to have " no unnecessary electrical components " so it only has one vol. control . Thats it .

Good bump , Owen , thanks !

This has given me ideas concerning my DB , my Dilruba and some bungees ....
( Pics of my dilruba ; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/179946-ns-nxt-used-in-north-indian-classical-music/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] )

My DB fits on a golf trolley I found in a charity shop for £3 . Could be adapted for towing behind a bicycle methinks .....

I received my ( first ) upright back in January from Thomann in this box ;




When I opened it the fingerboard wasn't attached ;



So I researched which glue to use and decided to go for hide glue .

I made a glue pot from the smallest slow cooker I could find , a lid I cut out of plywood with a hole in for a heat-proof plastic bowl that you get microwaveable desserts in , and a meat thermometer .
I had to wait to get hide glue pearls from mail order because I couldn't find any on this one-horse island , so I slowly acclimatised the bass over a few days to a heated , humidified room ( 24 hrs in the soft case in the room first ) , and heated the ebony 'board over a radiator before gluing .

I had no problems and the bass has been fine since .

Ho ho , reminded me of ;

John Martyn and Danny Thompson used to argue and fight off-stage . One morning John woke up in a hotel room to find himself trapped under a rug which had been nailed to the floor leaving only his head exposed . Danny then ordered two breakfasts from room service and proceeded to eat both in front of John before releasing him .

In Jerry Lee Lewis' autobiography he says that when he was with Sun Records in the early days there were regular parties at the home of someone to do with the studio . One night / early morning he went for a motorcyle ride around the neighbourhood with Elvis . Two bikes , and both of them naked . They managed to lose a policeman chasing them on a horse .

Interviews with him in the early 80s ;
At 2:05 he says he grew up playing Austrian folk songs on accordion .
At 13:45 he says he liked the Wurlitzer when it came out in the 60s because it allowed him to play " more accordion-like ".
At 31:27 he demonstrates the sound he was after when he was very young . Guess what it sounds like !

It is easier in the shower because of the natural reverb . I find it very difficult without reverb in the monitors .

Some New Agers claim that tuning to A = 432 Hz is better for us than 440 Hz
Of course they have dug up all sorts of ancient evidence to support their claim .
There is loads about it on the 'net if you search for 432 hz tuning .
