I suspect it worked better than the later little bit of wire grounding strip. When I ha one (a ‘96) the hum under some lights was terrible, leading me to believe the earth strip didn’t work very well.

I’m surprised the strap broke, mine seems pretty tough, but I guess I only carry out to the car and then into the venue.

Outside looking in - Jordan Pruitt

Go now - Moody Blues

Drive - The Cars (whoops didn’t notice this came up a few entries ago)

Is t that unusual to have 2 colour sunburst in the 70’s? I had a tri-colour. Or is it just that the red has faded?

Crawling king snake - Big Joe Williams (I think I’ve suggested this before!)

Genuinely awful. Looks like a rummage in the parts bin.

Is this the first winter you’ve had this bass? Given that Ibanez have pretty thin necks, you may need to tweak the truss with the season.

Please, please me - Fab 4

They should have been called Tower of Hair!

I feel free - Cream

Meet on the ledge - Fairport Convention

I applaud Chowney’s decision and he is right to say one step at a time. As regards woods, Robert Godin may have lead the way, on some of his acoustics, particularly the Simon & Patrick brand he used local woods including cherry wood. If Fender can use Pine, why not? We have plenty of pine in the U.K. and some other fruit woods may be as good as cherry.

May Peerless came with a hard case but it fits the RokSak gig bag. Just check the lower bout width.

I’m a believer - The Monkees

Beautiful looking except for the headstock 👎

I know they didn’t make one back in the day, but it really looks like it’s straight out of the 60’s, super cool.

Never seen a lefty Jack!

I was like you, years and years of bass guitar playing including fretless but finally took the plunge and got a second hand NS NXT. Despite what members here have said about it being a glorified bass guitar, the reaction I have so far on its outings is very favourable. It certainly doesn’t feel like a bass guitar, the 41” scale is challenging, but it does have discreet dot markers in the note positions which certainly helps to ensure your in tune and not floundering around on a totally bare board.

Crawling Kingsnake - John Lee Hooker

The Ballard of the Easy Rider - The Byrds

Black is black - Los Bravos
