I had that Emmanuel Macron on the phone the other day, he said he was trying to find models for the replacement medieval gargoyles that were lost in the Notre Dame fire … and could I suggest anyone? I thought about mentioning a certain blonde french woman but I think I may just have struck gold here. I’ll donate the finder’s fee to @lee650 even though he sold me a rubbish bass that took forever to arrive, not least as he’d shipped it via the Congo** ** not all of this is true, possibly none of it

Looking again I’d suggest the original foam disintegrated and this is some modern silicon putty from when the EMGs went in

@Delberthot interested in view of hb flats

I went to an OM. It was totally dead. The host was nowhere in sight so I hung around for ten minutes and gave up. The landlady told me it hadn’t gone well. As I was leaving a young lady at a table near the door said she’d wished I’d got to play (she obviously hasn’t heard me or she wouldn’t make such a ridiculous claim). I said that sadly bass is not a solo instrument and other people are needed, unfortunately not the case tonight. Her blank look at the word “bass” told me everything I needed to know about perceptions of our instrument but it was nice that she said it. someone I presumed to be the host scuttled into view at that moment and headed for the om area, he didn’t see me though he passed within a metre or so. I hope the landlady had a word about not deserting his post

Pm me your address

I have a F plate spare …

Yes. Since the copper plates are there

Totally agree with all that. Maybe it had a jazz neck for a while ? I’d guess at sunburst originally

I don’t like his music but there’s no denying the influence he has had on other artists. I don’t think you are correct in your assertion. His creative years were done before I was born so I’m probably going to feel less “shocked” than if, say, John Taylor, died but it doesn’t mean that I think BW irrelevant

I’d stick with oil that body looks pretty good for pawlonia

Find some open mic nights, just the right amount of commitment and usually bass players are rarer than a rare thing

Adagio flats (ebay and Amazon) are, to me at least, very acceptable giving huge bang per buck I didn’t like fender flats, but the guy who bought my p bass, in a different galaxy to me talent-wise messaged me after to ask what they were (adagios) as he really liked them

@John-E-Retro probably doesn’t recall after this long but he was very helpful with regard to putting a piezo bridge into a jazz bass and balancing it with the other pups

That’s interpretation spelling, but you’re right. Let’s stick to the original #joking btw

Loser totally get why that would piss you off

You need to take a trip here Daryl come to a bass bash

Get … out of my head ! Every time I read one of these threads and have decided what I’m going to write in reply , I find you have already done it 😳

I Assume Google doesn’t work for him. A tab or two gets you close enough well that took ages…. Who is this @TKenrick dude anyway ? https://freebasstranscriptions.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Queen-Crazy-Little-Thing-Called-Love-edit.pdf

Personally I don’t think it matters much as long as you and any audience are enjoying. playing an instrument and with other people is supposed to be fun. It’s what I do to get away from my working day where I have to conform- if I substitute a verse pattern for a chorus pattern because I feel like it, or I make a mistake, no fairies will die.

There are two different schools of thought. I take the view that I’m there to make people listening happy, either tgey or a landlord are paying. My personal level of perfectionism takes a back seat. However l also get the “get it exactly right” mentality

Was tending to fender neck, hondo body but the weird inlays steer me away different varnish shade on headstock is normal - their normal varnish attacked the decals and these age differently bitsa. Might be a good player but not worth premium vintage money
