@DawnPatroller Personally I don’t think it makes a huge difference unless there is some underlying potential for fault anyway. I’ve left several guitars in a loft for years at a time and not one has suffered in the slightest silica gel packets is a good idea I’d use if I had to do it again, as is standing them upright but for myself I’d happily just bin bag them as I did before

Just a weak joke about what you said here “They are built to be at tension” and your username …

I think he’s saying it doesn’t matter in his opinion for the reason given - they are at an @EssentialTension

This is basschat good advice is what we do.

Why ? How hard is he hitting those strings ? What kind of PoS guitar don’t hold tune for four minutes of playing

I have it actually https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultimate-Beginner-Series-Blues-Bass-Basics-Beck-Roscoe-Good-Condition-Book-/133775010841?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 irs very playalong in a good way and I notice something new each time I watch - the other musicians are good too Greg - where can I get the pdf for your bluegrass vid ? The chord chart in particular

also Chic at the budokan (bernards last gig I think) u2 vertigo live from Chicago

Put some silica sachets in the case though

Our loft froze in winter and dripped, and cooked in summer and my bass (not in hard case) came out just fine @DawnPatroller it was stored upright

I left one in our loft for two years and it came down just fine it was even (almost) in tune

Maybe he wasn’t actually a guitarist…

And plum bread …

Nope … just a guitarist so 9/10 likely to be an idiot

Like this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZOOM-G2-1U-multi-effects-unit-Good-condition-/373702655757?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 but not one from Japan - all over eBay I have the bass version

Ok, the first sunburst then … @chris_b I did say “… original precision sunburst just two colours “

Just stand on his toes twice per minute until he’s done - he’ll soon get quicker or get him a zoom multi fix and program the patches in advance even a cheapie zoom g2.1 would do

Was not the original precision sunburst just two colours ?

If you freeze frame that charlton Heston movie about Moses, and look carefully at the tablets of stone you ll probably see that #11 (next to his little finger) actually says “thou shalt have no other bass finish but sunburst, and blessed be the holy tort (but only celluloid not that cheap printed rubbish)” so it is the actual literal word of God that you go with sunburst

Getting itchy fingers …

Totally 190% buy it.

Possibly - I have “the fender bass book” somewhere and it does talk about the transitions in machine heads
