I get the feeling many basschatters are old blokes typing on a PC with a big screen and keyboard. The yoof use mobile devices and their thumbs and don’t do ponderous one fingered typing. Throw in auto correct and the output isn’t always pretty.

What do you mean “you get the feeling…” I never imagined it wasn’t exactly that. Curmudgeonly is the word that springs to my mind as a synonym for “basschat member”. 

I would not dream of criticising, actually, and I agree with you about “there”, “their” etc @SH73

I cite this as evidence https://mangolanguages.com/resources-articles/9-reasons-why-english-is-a-difficult-language-to-learn/#:~:text=Most English language learners will,require a lot of memorization.     Amongst a million other results 

however I think the only reason that people think English is easy is because seemingly everyone on the globe is exposed to it from infancy and it’s everywhere. Immersion is powerful. 

You can find copper neck shims in a pack of various thicknesses on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185779208770?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=q7sruqa8QEW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bgbetJqEQOS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I often disagree with you @nilorius but you shouldn’t apologise for your command of English. I have IELTS 9 (top score) in English and I know that English is a really hard language to learn second. It’s in a league with Chinese for complexity with a vocabulary twice as large as most other languages. I know a German lady who has been in England 20 years, is married to a Brit and has English speaking kids and she still makes major mistakes 

Might come back to you

I've heard some courier firms have trackers on their vehicles. I cannot remember which ones, though, and if actually true.

Evri is private vehicles however you’d notice a pattern of failed deliveries against couriers if you looked hard enough

The Fender Stu Hamm Urge Mk1s were a 32 inch scale, available as us version or a simplified Mexican version. Lovely basses. They also had small bodies, about the size of a strat body, which you might or might not like.

 

The MK2s went to a 34" scale.

 

Didn’t they have about 8 pickups ? 

Or get a p bass … preferably sunburst with tort and added relic 😛

I forgive you @ead because I’ve got wood.
 

Oh hang on, no …. You’ve got wood in a bass shape 

Does anyone have tab for this ? I’ve not found much in google. I’ll take the rhythm Off the notation if needed 

thanks

I just made one from scrap timber, took about 10 minutes all in 👍

With an axe, and a chainsaw for the finer parts of the finish no doubt 🤔

Yes. I was looking at that one. I thought it might be a bit lightweight for firework but maybe I'm wrong about that 🤔

Never let me down, recommended

Another good thing about these basses is the gold hardware. It will take no time at all to obtain that roadworn look. The body may take a little longer mind... 

unless you use an actual road of course

Tbh I just don’t like the aesthetics 

She is urging me to buy something nice as the land to be sold is in a place where bad things happened. Replacement therapy… It’s taken two plus years to convince idiot co-trustee to sell and I’ve been running the trust for 11 years prior to that. That means I’ve been immersed in it daily, and once sold I never need to go back there or even think about it

They are saying they can't access, not that there is nobody there to accept delivery. Could it be that the farm is inaccessible due to the state of the track, especially with the weather we've been having. And bear in mind some Evri deliveries are by owner drivers in family cars.

Possible but the lady says the postman manages fine at moment 

Has anyone else had Evri claiming to be unable to access property? 
recipient runs a farm and is there 24/7

tri d using the chatbot to register an alternate destination of a parcel shop but it’s ignored 

it’s an eBay sale 

I have arthritis coming in my left hand and can no longer cope with full scale

I’m being encouraged by my lovely partner to buy something for myself with some incoming money that adds up to inheritance but long delayed 

I’ve fought long and hard to push my idiot, pathetic and pathologically risk averse cousin to sell something that we co-own and today her hand was finally forced from indulging in endless procrastination and long-grass kicking 

can anyone advise me about 32” scale basses-are they just Japanese made ?

Welcome - what are you apologising for?

 

The answer is - nothing...

He did mention that he owned a guitar 🤢

otherwise he’s fine 

anyway @Robbo I’m still at the awful stage 

Think @benh knows a few things also 

Paging @Andyjr1515

You could reduce it a bit, make a mark and count the turns 

I’ve never bothered myself

If you can find a 2nd hand Ashdown B-Social they are excellent, there is also the B-Social lite a lot rarer and smaller.

Good call …
