Maybe. He's got a lot of guitar parts for sale at the "right" price, could be he's got hold of a job lot of old stock and is selling on cheap?

😜

One of the most obvious tells on these cheapo basses is the way the black of the burst covers the forearm contour as opposed to remaining close to the body edge on ALL Fenders. I don't know for sure but I assume it's to disguise that the body is made of ply.

One of the greatest films of all time!! School of Rock!! The bit when Jack Black is talking to the class about musical influences - Dewey: Look, the first thing you do when you start a rock band is talk about your influences. That's how you figure out what kind of band to be. So who do you like? Blondie? Marta: Christina Aguilera. Dewey: Who? No! Come on. What? You, Shortstop. Leonard: Puff Daddy. Dewey: Wrong. Billy? Billy: Liza Minnelli? Dewey: What are you...? You guys! This project is called "Rock Band". I'm talking about bands that rock. Led Zeppelin. [the class gives him blank stares] Don't tell me you guys have never got the Led out. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant? Ring any bells? What about Sabbath? AC/DC? Motörhead? Oh, what do they teach in this place?!

Reread question 🙄

Theres no umlaut on the bass in these pics either..?

They don't half pick some weird places to wear. How on earth would a bass wear under the strings behind the pickups (sunburst above) or around the bridge (green)..? Surely, if you're gonna do it, look at pictures of actual rw basses and replicate that.

Just an FYI on that site, if you click on a genre, it'll take you a Spotify play list with representative music 👍🏻

Well look at that, a very subtle but definitive mute! Thanks @arthurhenry, I'll work on that, another string to the bow 👍🏻

I don't like white basses. I don't like white basses. I don't like white basses.... 😬 That's a stunner fair play, it's taking all my will power not to start googling white Sandys to see what's on the market!

Touché sir. In their defence, that was 73, they didn't hit their stride til late 74... 😬😂

Zep vs Minaj... 🤔

Not quite sure what you mean. Always up for learning a new technique though, but when I just tried I wasn't muting, just playing a note..? Can you do a demo or post a pic? Cheers

Very true. Thinking about it, they also invented daw software which has enabled lots of musicians to record music to a high standard in their bedrooms. So, in a way, nerds have saved music!! 😁

Hmmm... If you're going down that route then Napster is probably more responsible as created peer to peer sharing. Or you could blame MP3s for being a format which enables peer to peer sharing. Or, is it the Internet for providing the facility to do peer to peer sharing..? Looks like it was the nerds what done it! 😁

From the Spotify list? If you click on the name it will give you a selection of tracks to listen to.

If you've got all evening, you may come up with something using a random name generator... https://www.google.com/search?q=band+name+generator&oq=band+name&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0j69i60l2j0l2.3082j0j7&client=ms-android-huawei-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Good luck! 😁

Now you've mentioned Spotify, according to the Every Noise at Once website (which is an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 3,068 ((!!!)) genres by Spotify), "Rock" is the 5th most popular, with various subtypes appearing further on down in the list. Given this list is generated by data from 100 Million Spotify users (so a pretty large sample size of music listeners), I reckon it gives a more accurate representation of Rocks popularity. As an aside, Grime comes in 203rd place with Drill in a 412th. Stick that in your pipe Bobby 😛 http://everynoise.com/everynoise1d.cgi?scope=all

You know, its funny you say that. I was watching an old John Lee Hooker performance the other day, and his bassist was wearing his bass very upright (like a double bass). It looked a bit weird but I'm sure it was a more natural position for his fretting hand. I seem to think that the original electric bass was supposed to be worn like that, hense the position of the tug bar being placed so you pluck with your thumb (could've just made that up though) 😬

Argh I'd be well up for this but we're moving to the East Coast in 2 months 😩 Good luck with your search, lots of choice on the forum. The swines!! 😁

Ahh fair play, I didn't realise that. I just assumed these were your first & second vlogs. Apologies

👊🏻

Many thanks sir!

Whoohoo!! I'm going to go to... DoubleOhStephan 😬 Cheers
