Hello and welcome

I quite like mine

Yeah I was going to say that same learned and knowledgeable thing also. Honestly, I really was

I thought you’d go for the “shocked” icon @AndyTravis

I feel like a total virgin - excluding “buy to resell immediately” I’ve had five including one that I built myself and still have two of those 5 Musima P aria magna 5 string vintage EST96a stingray bass doc P self-build jazz no guitars included here because guitars are sugar honey iced tea

It’s only taken eight hours for me to stop laughing … yeah right

Hmm … in best Shakespearean sonnet mode … how many times has the internet been wrong let me count the times .. really not got time to enumerate all the times I know about, let alone everyone else, true source independence on most things on the internet is an illusion, on chords, tab and lyrics it is doubly so apologies to @Inarafor the thread derailment

Only if partnered with an extended black scratch plate

We could ask Jerry scheff, who was elvis’ bass player. If he’s still around, he was a member at one time

In the seminal version in LILO and stitch, performed by wynona judd, it is “it must be 109” referring to temperature as it follows the line “I feel the temperature rising”. “ I must be 109” would make no sense at all

Surely “it must”?

Appreciated - it’s weird that I’m the first generation taught both metric and imperial in school so I can think easily in both. It’s a bit like having bilingual parents I see no logical reason for sticking to Fahrenheit when you have decimal coinage - except that Elvis’ “burning love” wouldn’t scan if written in centigrade

And you should be unfamiliar with anything above 15. C and that isn’t rain if you’ve lived in Yorkshire

I know that heat - we had seven weeks of it in Florida before we could fly home - anyway what are you doing talking centigrade ? No one in the US actually knows that centigrade even exists

As it happens my youngest is a us citizen, I blame Disneyland. Mickey Mouse came to our table and went after a photo, Minnie appeared and there’s waters everywhere

Not seen much of @FlatEric he kindly let me try his double neck many moons ago at a bass bash

That’s a bit rude; I have small children and a disabled partner. I work full time and so don’t get enough time to practice to leave frets behind; I find this offensive. I’d love a fretless to try, or an EUB but right now it would just be an expensive dust collecting ornament 😞

About Maria McKee if I recall correctly

In the words of Arthur dent “I quite liked it actually” … your collective turn to be Ford prefect and prostetnic vogon Jeltz well, I’ve heard worse … and anyone who gets up there and does it has guts

Mine was CAR red/black/maple

I’ve owned one briefly - very nice and good value for money

True - but now you’ve gone and woken up my “Lorraine mackintosh is cute” demon 🤭

I agree with bass agent, I’d find it odd even if I’d never played anything else ever. When I turn a blend control I expect to increase the thing I’m turning it towards and to taper off the thing I’m moving away from

We have lots of US and Canadian members here; just don’t mention talkbass.com or ri&@kenbackers or prince Harry and you’ll be okay
