Just anchor your hand near the E and move to B when you need. It’s about your mental approach not whether you use fingers or are pick-weird 😛

It depends how you do it. Just ignore the low B and thumb-root on E until you need to go lower, or if using the B would avoid open E. If someone asks you to change key down/up by 1 st you can then do it easily whereas if you’re playing with open strings you can’t. Just use it when it makes things easier

I’m not proud - I’d happily play a (standard) one if I thought 0.01% of his undeniable talent would rub off - much as I dislike much of his output.

Maybe he will recover if given enough antibiotics

I’ve never tried one but maybe I should

Put some tort on it 👍 seriously … im Not aesthetically-minded generally but it would have to be a sonically-amazing example of that model for me to overlook it.

It can’t be that hard to gather a rolling total per user per annum of value of items sold where condition = new (ie x) and x > 1000£

I’d ask John east himself - he is a member here

I just use my zoom b2.1 (discontinued in Saxon times and made of linden wood) with a bit of compression and the ampeg patch with cab enabled then straight into the PA I was in the cobblers today and he shows up at my OM night to drink. He said my bass sounded really good. Those weren’t his exact words - there was an adjective starting with F

It can, if a part of the signal touches earthing you’ll get a buzz or hum

Like that shielding …

Often the problem is only when it is all screwed together because things touch and the situation is not obvious when disassembled - that might be why your luthiers missed it I found a Jack socket was rubbing on the shielding - I put clear tape over the foil and the problem went away

It’s easier to get eBay to collect tax for them on people selling second hand goods bought from taxed-income than go after the very rich. selling 1000 of new stuff in a year is a legitimate target, but only when you also tax wealthy people
