Only You - Yazoo

Being the naive type who who ambles through life oblivious to anything not of interest to me, what data are all these sites collecting?

See ya! 👋 - Depeche Mode

Sweating Bullets - Megadeth

Smash It Up - The Posies (make a change from the damned)

On @Andyjr1515's recommendation I've used calligraphy ink with great results. I just wiped on with a household kitchen sponge, one of those with a scourer on the back. It's water based so can be easily watered down to achieve a lighter shade, and to a degree mistakes can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Can be oil finished, lacquered or waxed over once dry to any degree of matt, satin or gloss. Here's an old Kay neck through that I stained the body wings on then lacquered over.

Chop it up and make a shelf. I actually really like this.

BRILLIANT!!

Yeah, he could barely hear his dual SVT stacks. 😂

Hot For Teacher - Van Halen

Bargain price for a signature model. 😁

Freebass. Peter Hook, Andy Rourke & Mani (Joy Division/New Order, The Smiths & Stone Roses (among others)).

Join the resistance people ✊. Once the Scott's Bad Lower-colon revolution takes place you'll all be forced to wear that 'sniffing someone else's eggy stonkers' bass face permanently.

I don't know what I'm enjoying most, the neck removal dilemma or the Superdream chat. BassChat doing what it does best 😁.

I Say I Say I Say - MJ & Macca

Mine is definitely 30", I assumed they all were, maybe they did 30" & 34".

Careless Wispa - Gorgeous George

I've only just noticed this. Yes the second one is a 185. I can't remember the ins and out but depending on age and where it was sold they were a 185 or Artist, older ones were, I think, a 182. Lots of info in that Hofner site that has been linked. Mine had been butchered so now has Warman Thunderbuckers and completely different wiring and switching so couldn't comment on how yours sounds. They play nicely though and strangely don't feel like a short scale.

Too Nice to Talk To - The Beat

It was all the right notes... 😁

It just so happens that Lady Maude recorded some of my generation on her phone, I know, it sounds terrible, but you can hear the bass! She must've learnt about bass through osmosis as this was the only bit she recorded all night and she managed to get the little bass solo.

The Eden Project, Cornwall. It really is quite amazing as a venue. Large amphitheater so good visibility from pretty much everywhere and the lighting in the biomes is linked to the stage lighting so mirrors the colours, strobes etc. Luckily it was dry and sunny.

Well well well, I could hear the bass last night. Not a boomy mush but almost difficult to distinguish from the guitars as it was quite toppy, it could still have done with bring far more prominent giving that this is The Who. Several times though I noticed that only Roger, Pete and Zak were spotlighted with the rest in darkness, also the bassist was hiding away at the back almost behind the drums. But it was a fantastic night and they were on top form, the orchestra really lifted the sound.

"Who are you seeing live next?" Yes! Off to see The Who tonight at The Eden Project, and the sun is shining.

Well this is a thread I didn't want to read. I'm off to see The Who in a couple of hours.
