  1. Turns out I have been exaggerating its length all this time, its 42", not 43! So its close to the 4th fret where 34" is, slightly before it, so if I tuned it C F A# D# G#, it would be about right at the 4th fret
  2. Ooh 170, that is a big chap, not sure what is on there at the moment, but it seemed to handle quite a bit lower before it got too flappy. I am not sure why it needs to be so big when you have a scale like this, but he must know what he was doing. Not sure a 170 would fit through the bridge
  3. I know - nostalgia makes people crazy
  4. Mine certainly wasn't missed, it was replaced with a westone which was an order of magnitude better in every way
  5. I had a Kay Stratocaster, was made with what I assume was construction grade pine, I can't remember what happened to it, but I suspect it is was the same place!
  6. Crazy money, they saw you coming!
  7. No it didn't, and having just concluded my search for a long gig bag I could get the bongo in, I find myself back in that position. I might just end up getting an 88 key keyboard case, as that would fit it
  8. Kay guitars - as the generation who know how shit they are and wants to burn them, people will buy them for retro cool.
  9. Has he used the player circle code on them?
  10. The front knob of all basses shall always be volume! - obviously if you have twin volumes, they shall be the front two knobs!
  11. of course it will!
  12. Yeh - it is currently at the F#0

  14. ok, not that F# - the one above E Seems the AI is getting a little confused there! I think it might need heavier strings to get to E, although not much. I could turn it to a sub bass, E-C if I did that!
  15. I was a little surprised. When I pluck up the nerve I might investigate more. The strings are currently good but I am sure newtone can make some
  16. Actually, pretty good! Even when you take it down to f#!
  17. I do - I thought I corrected that everywhere. Might be getting a bit flappy by then!
  18. Nah, sure that newtone will be ok for that
  19. No, pretty sure it is quite old, but I don't know when. it is serial no. 041, so I am guessing that was a while back.
  20. Does give me a bit of a contrast though!
  21. Haha - maybe not tall enough! I have just tuned it down to F# -> D and it works really well at that tuning!
  22. I realised that I had just made the assumption that it was a BEADG tuning and the action was a bit high. I just tuned it to C#BEAD and it handles that well
  23. Oh I hadn't listened to that yet, will have to soon!
