  1. True but you do have a revolving front door and stick a deli counter ticket to each bass. Also some of them have whispered to me about the post-it note you keep on your desk with the opening hours for cash converters on it - they find it a touch intimidating
  2. Yes, to the marketplace … 😛
  3. Not saying it …. NOT saying it …
  4. Greg’s bass shed gets my vote @greghagger
  5. For the dubious privilege of them picking a neck off a different shelf ? They used to allow jazz bass profile necks to be ordered
  6. Turmeric takes a month or so to start showing benefit - it’s not instant keeping your fingers warm such as with fingerless gloves helps
  7. @Obrienp get the stuff with black pepper extract as that boosts absorption … Amazon or eBay or Holland and Barrett
  8. He’d do a lot better with turmeric extract
  9. When I reliced my bass I left everything metal well alone
  10. They might be able to signpost you to replacements. @Reggaebass seems to remember the same event as me
  11. Glue and pressure ? @Andyjr1515
  12. I’ve never understood why someone selling or owning a 700£ bass from new wouldn’t think of putting a smear of Vaseline on those threads; I recall ages ago someone from limelight saying here at BC that screws seizing was an effect of the relic process. Why not unscrew the intonation screws or grub screws a bit when it’s freshly done and put some Vaseline on ? That’s a whole five minutes spent
  13. That plate is def after market based on the pattern and it’s fit to the bass (very poor fit around lower horn) and I think the burst looks a bit odd the action looks very high - my guess would be that it’s a decent bitsa - not even a whole Mex
  14. Seriously - back door Santa ?
  15. Guy on far right is very much too blond
  16. That they need big socks ?
  17. Well, he could be forgiven for thinki… DOH!
  18. Thanks - very much an old style of playing glad I put some of that on my relic p
  19. It’s got that weird middle top rubout on the sunburst where your hands etc never touch - how does that wear occur?
  20. Tsk tsk - now that’s offensive blah blah …
  21. My 0.02 is that women are generally less strong but I’d never call them weaker tal wilkemfield is only normal sized but manages a whole gig on a full sized bass and good luck to her. AC is possibly not intending his comment to be taken generally but perhaps specifically with regard to his context of an all-male band?
  22. Post pictures - that kind of renovation happens all the time here
  23. Excuse my ignorance but why ?
  24. -1? That’s one quieter…
  25. I stand corrected - I meant 0.5mm ish at #8, resulting in 2-3mm at fret 12 when string released
