The music has received a bit of a slating, but I don't think it's too bad. Not that I'd go and see them, mind...

Now just 4's with an extended fretboard for me. But when I was playing both, I found the B string on a 5 was the thumb-rest, but the top of the pup was the usual thumb-rest for a 4. Funnily enough I never had any problems playing a 6. Took right to it. But that may have been the bass, a rather tasty Shuker 6 with an amazingly thin flat neck.

Blessed?

We're a 3 piece no keys. It's noticeable! ☺

there are no other basses that have all the features of my custom Shukers, so yes it does matter for me. Does it matter for the punters? I think so, they may not know why 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' doesn't sound as good played on a normal 4 string - no drop D - but they will notice. Same as the metal solo's I needed a 2 octave neck for. The punters will hear the difference if they are played an octave lower.

why thank you. The drop tuning via extended fret board is nothing new in the classical world, but the more modern design is influenced by Phil Kubicki. Putting a bend well next to just seemed an obvious use of the space.

just information gathering at this point. Thanks for all the replies

wowzers! Excellent advice. Cheers!

so make sure to have a knackered old case, preferably one with a 'Keep Music Live' sticker on it? 😎

this was the first of these mashups that I saw. Posted on the Youtube 14 years ago 😲

The late Tony Wilson, ... said he would never go and see jazz because he couldn’t tolerate the idea of the musicians having a better time than the audience.

TBF they called after your audition to let you know. That's more than a lot of bands do. But as it wasn't actually an audition, then 😕

and mine...

yup. It's not really that custom, it's a series 2 body but fatter at the bottom.

or rather Jon has it. But it's for my basses

i have my own Shuker template

so long as it's being advertised as a film, and not a documentary...

or try the'Disaster Area' approach: Their songs are on the whole very simple and mostly follow the familiar theme of boy-being meets girl-being beneath silvery moon, which then explodes for no adequately explored reason.

Sterling advice from Sir Tim Rice: Buy a decent rhyming dictionary and a thesaurus.

fixed.

The greatest lyrics ever are still "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah". So don't overthink it.

i'm sure i remember an interview with Brian May, in which he said they are contact with John regarding all Queen issues, and John was happy about it all and said 'keep sending me the cheques!".

great video. Particularly the 'rest' lol.

well, not any more...
