Cool, hope you like it!

I've just read through this whole thread and now feel my brains cycling backwards Impressive!

Isn't this why they invented the aluminium upright bass?

[quote name='gareth' timestamp='1490882626' post='3268773'] been there done it You need an all valve amp, trannies just dont hack it [/quote] Absolute nonsense. [quote]theplumber Yesterday, 06:37 PM Tell the guys to get a grip and turn down....[/quote] This. And turn down any sub/bass/low boosters on their amp. Those are for bedroom noodling but mess up the overall band sound.

Kiss discography wikipedia lists over 48 albums? Didn't check the list as I don't even know 8 of their songs https://www.google.nl/search?q=kiss+wiki+discography&oq=kiss+wik&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l3.6494j0j4&client=ms-android-zte&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#mie=gt,Albums,kiss%20wiki%20discography,H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLUz9U3MDSsyKh4xBjALfDyxz1hKfdJa05eY3TkEs9OttLPLS3OTNZPLCrJLC6xSsxJKs0tFlLjYnPNK8ksqRSS4eKVQhihwSDFzYXg8gAATodlB2AAAAA

A bit late to the party but I believe nobody has mentioned exotic man whores?

I thrash mostly with a pick. Some songs I'll play fingerstyle for reasons that only make sense in my head Spotify link here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2CDOlfWDOcsUREacRMfP8n?context=spotify%3Aartist%3A2CDOlfWDOcsUREacRMfP8n

Who has a spare fiver to waste, these days?

Mike Patton for me. The one trick ponies might be effective but don't score high on my list (from the guy that loves death and thrash metal, hah)

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1490012099' post='3261380'] Nice work. I found that spraying the wood with water & leaving it to soak between sanding helped to enhance the grain. Then several coats of Danish, followed by a few coats of wax. This was mine. https://flic.kr/s/aHsjuw23Lc [/quote] I like it best in pic 3! ☺

The Sperzel trim-lok system without the tuner part?

Toy Dolls' Nelly the Elephant?

Bring pen and paper to jut down the song structure, ask guitar for a run through before playing a whole song. Have fun

Only one pic in this thread. I'm disgusted!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1489574261' post='3257996'] Eneloop for AAs - last for ages and don't discharge when not in use. [/quote] They are very similar to the imedion I use, I found a better deal on the latter is all at nkon.nl

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1489570320' post='3257937'] How do the Lidl ones compare to Duracells price wise? [/quote] I get two aerocell for €1.84 in a blister. Don't know about UK prices, sorry.

Love the finish! Hope the shells don't chafe.

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1489524177' post='3257689'] Our local Aldi or Lidl have different manufacturers - what ones are you using ??? The battery comparison on morning TV showed that Lidl batteries outlasted even the duracells. Just can't remember the manufacturer. Dave [/quote] The ones I have now are from Lidl and are called 'aerocell' 6lp3146. The only manufacturer lidted on them reads Lidl Stiftung & Co, Stiftsbergstr.1, D-74167 Neckarsulm. They are in my bass, smoke detectors etc. AA batteries I use rechargeable Imedion, very long shelf-life and reportedly 15000 recharge cycles.

I use lidl/aldi 9v batteries. Last more than a year. I typically Change batteries and strings in one go, if they need changing or not. Never one fail on me. Someone told me most 9v batteries roll out of the same factory, with different branding on the outside.

Alembic? Alembic.

I would very much like to see the result!

Luthiers without their own model will probably be less sought after than those that are known for their own merit. Wal, MTD, Ritter and some others will attract more collectors than those that make their own jazz version and barely anything distinctive.
