    I mentioned earlier in the thread I had a 2013 iMac. I upgraded the HDD to an SSD and the difference in performance was startling, to say the least. Well worth considering this upgrade if it's possible to carry it out.

    Until recently I had a 2013 iMac i5 that ran Logic just fine. Probably about £200 or so on eBay.

    When I was a teacher of the Alexander Technique, back in the 1980's, I worked extensively with orchestral musicians in Scotland and London. Kept quite a few of them going. I would refer to osteopaths etc when necessary. It has certainly helped me with bass and guitar playing-I don't have any of the physical complaints that many musicians suffer from, just a lack of talent. I would certainly recommend AT as a possible source of useful input for any musician.

    The Moula Banda Rhythm Aces! Fantastic live band!

    Neck heel, truss rod aperture, poorly matched "ash" body, separate fingerboard. Oh dear.

    What does this bugger weigh?

    I’m close by and could make use of this. Happy to make a donation to the charity of your choice.

    Phlegming.

    Downtown Lights, by The Blue Nile. The bass part is robotic (prolly a synth) and surprisingly hard.

    I wish I had a tenth of his energy and enthusiasm.

    I have an old classical guitar, a Vicente Tatay Tomas, that my mum and dad brought back from Spain, about 1972. It's been in the loft too long, and is now in several pieces. Apart from that, my Ovation Balladeer, model 111-4, that I bought in 1975 from McCormack's in Glasgow for £150, a whole term's grant. I thought it sounded lush. I have snapped the headstock off twice. The second time I repaired it with carbon rods, and it has never held its tuning better. I will not be parted from it.

    Cor bugger jacko, that's a handsome bass.

    Interesting headstock splice. Would you be willing to post more pix of that?

    I loved my SR500. This a brilliant bargain.

    Loopers?

    Boss.

    Wow that's a handsome bass!

    I sometimes use a high stool to sit on because I am lazy and old, but also because I use a looper and pedals. That's my excuse. I have a guitar hanger screwed to the stool so I can use it as a stand when not playing. It looks kinda cool with that. Functional.

    My Yamaha BBG4 fretless. So nice to play.
