Have you tried doing so whilst having small children ? Not always easy to find the time

A 75 reissue jazz in natural with rosewood - Jap Bought for a song and I wish I'd kept it

They don't say prices for anything I'm just after building a pink & maple strat for my seven year old. Teacher says she has natural talent

I think he has been honest but brutal, and it sounds liked you deserved better than brutal, I would put it down to experience and move on

Has anyone bought one of the cheap parts from china like on AliExpress? Is the fret work any good ? Im in no hurry for it to arrive

I had a white one, very light indeed and I'd have another in a heartbeat

Because I can get that from the tab, and because someone who undoubtedly a better player than me has already figured out a way to play it. I might change it, but it's a start

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1481535696' post='3192937'] Here's a revolutionary idea for y'all. Consider reading notation as well as tab. Woooah, yes I know it's a bit out there, but it will save these tedious arguments about which is better/quicker/yada yada. They both have their uses and if you can do both, you're covered every time. Now, what was so difficult about that? [/quote] See previous post ?

I read the frets off the tab and look to the dots for the rhythm - best of both worlds. Reading rhythm isn't hard and I don't see why there should be a binary choice

Only issue I had was in the nut cut being a little borrow for fatter strings - sounded fine with no overtones

User skol3203 bought one in from the US - he might recall how much and where he got it?

I use45 105 on everything and they worked fine on a shortie, even my three year old got a totally immense tone

Be sure of the age - think it should be slot screw not Allen and full width screw thread on the barrels but some one please correct me if needed ?

not any more...

It's 50cm long so not quite a miniature but quite some toy

Why don't you go along to keep an eye on it ?

[quote name='Yank' timestamp='1481189864' post='3190317'] Excuse my ignorance, but what is "panto"? [/quote] @yank The reason for girls being played by younger men in the old days was that the theatre cast was considered disreputable and that no decent woman would appear in it. Thankfully times have changed and it's quite normal for actual female "totally unknowns" to appear

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1481197046' post='3190378'] To be fair to the above, half of them are from kids TV [/quote] I have small children, I have to endure a truckload of kids tv and even I don't know them

the Charlatans "Modern Nature", and I must say that Martin Blunt is very underrated in my very humble opinion, I'm particularly loving his work on "Let the Good times be never ending", exactly what bass should be like. If only I could find the tab or some dots.....

[quote name='Numerov' timestamp='1481016224' post='3188907'] With a 30 inch short scale bass I assume there will be a fair drop of tension in the strings. Am I correct? If I'm correct what do short scale bass players do to overcome this? Thanks. [/quote] Heavier gauge strings - not heavier by much

Even verbal agreement is not enough, you'd have to pay a deposit and so have be consideration for the promise I have a shiny law degree

I got recognition once, female audience member came up to me and told me the bass sounded immense and totally awesome
