    [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1451588011' post='2941737'] And it's not a life hack. The easiest short-cut or trick would be to play an actual short scale by buying or borrowing one or trying at a shop instead of farting about with a long scale. [/quote] Which would render it a full scale solution as opposed to a life-hack. Or I am being a pedant? Anyways - it allows me to fart about with a long scale whilst I try to get hold of a short scale. I don't even have a capo! So I will need to make one out of some typical household items. Anyone have a life hack for an impromptu capo?!?!?

    Regardless of what software you go for, as long as it can open and edit PSD files then you will be able to download lots of free PSD files, posters and images to modify to suit. Saves you from reinventing the wheel - and the quality of much of the free stuff is excellent.

    I'd thoroughly recommend Affinity Photo - the new kid on the block that is being touted as a Photoshop killer: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ Having used it and Pixelmator I believe Affinity Photo has the edge. Current cost is £29.99.

    To get into semi-acoustic bass and play more intimate sets. To lose the beer belly.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1451405388' post='2940220'] If you want a rough idea of how a short scale feels and sounds then take a 34" scale bass. Downtune it by a whole tone to DGCF. Put a capo at fret two and you have a 30.3" scale bass tuned EADG. [/quote] Thanks Essential Tension - I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a life hack! I'll give it a try. Cheers, David

    Had never heard of Chowny basses, but after a brief bit of background reading on the web I am seriously interested. I'm looking to 'downsize' and will be sad to see my Stingray go, but 34" just doesn't agree with me. I can vouch for the short scale Squire Jags though. Pickups aren't much to write home about but otherwise you get a lot for your money. At just under £200 you can't go wrong - and one was up for sale on Basschat not so long ago. The thing sold in a couple of hours so if it isn't for you, you'll have no problem passing it on I would imagine.

    Thanks Jassbass Never thought I'd own a premium bass like this. The finish is superb. Cheers, David

    My tuppence worth..... I think you will find that Richard is passionate about doing the right thing by the customer - even where the customer may not appreciate it at the time! (and I speak from experience here!) He is a man of his word and he has integrity. If I were buying a bass from a shop as opposed to a private sale, I would certainly give his website a visit.

    Agree - most of the songs were murdered. Makes you realise how good the original/established vocalists were. Bacharach really came alive at the piano though!

    Sold a Warwick to Molan. He was kind enough to wait while I posted as I was away on business. Fast payment. Highly recommended.

    I've had items for sale for upwards of 90 days and then, bam, someone contacts you telling you that they must have it. 24 hrs later the deal is done. To me it is like selling a house. There is a right buyer out there for every item - they just have to happen across your sale.
