Oh dear - not for me then

How much does it actually cost to build a valve amp from a kit? I own a soldering iron and a multi meter

I’d go for the limelight

I thought I had made it clear that I no longer want to be involved in this topic, and fairly rapidly now, in much else on this site i feel like that seal being chucked up out of the surf on David Attenborough’s Life on Earth

I think it’s a subject that’s been done to death so many times that I don’t bother to do more than acknowledge the latest thread’s existence, but I thank you for your continued commentary on my actions.

I came back to see if things had improved but I was wrong. I’m unsure why your state of miff with me continues. I didn’t realise I was that important....

He’s probably a witch ....

Stop inflating them They pop, is my advice nb that’s the doll, not the 7 year old

P bass into a zoom b2.1 on the ampeg sim. That’s all I use

I liked it, (though I only read the righteous stuff about bass and merely glimpsed the weedy string dreck through clenched fingers) - good layout and copy

I’m a good proof reader and I have IELTS level 9 English - I’ll take a look

Unfollowed

Curse you and your resonant wood fantasies - I’ve been led astray. Again.

An old one, long-held and utterly immovable vintage, if you will.... 🍿

But Does the tone come from entrenched positions, or is it the metal in the devices that show us the comments?

I’m unfollowing - btw @Killed_by_Death I don’t fit into your “most” criteria back there and I don’t think this topic should rear it’s head again. Not for the next ten minutes at least

Yes, but what vintage, and what were you wearing when drinking the fitou? Hmm? These factors are extremely important ... 🍿

Yes - a lack of any particular care - so it relics up nicely edit: added clarification

I must be just plain stupid then

@Chownybass is a member here

Too many strings..... 😣but if I was suffering a disease of the mind called “being a guitarist” I’d probably buy one

Yes, true, but that would suggest the OP is a mucky pup and likely to make it dirty and not clean it afterwards. I would hope that we are a clean bunch in this parish

I think i missed the naphtha thing but pretty much what I said

I used a thin strip of metal to scrape along frets lengthways to get gunk out and fine wire wool on the wood itself, then baby wipes and finally lemon oil

Ohh I’m flattered that never happens ... it was actually something that @Stuart Clayton said in his fine, fine bass tuition book**, albeit about two octave scales, that turned my head. He made me realise that knowing a box is okay as a crutch but you need to know the fingerboard well enough to see the notes from those boxes all over, even as fragments, rather than shift up to 11 frets just to get to your safe start point for (say) G mixolydian I think subconsciously this is the problem I was seeing with my teachers insistance that I learn boxes for pentatonic scales. It seemed a bit limiting although I’m certain I could not have expressed it in an intelligible way at the time. ** the one with pale blue writing on the cover
