Yes, great bass lines and top tone too, I really like Mr Quinn’s playing.

I spent several (occasionally drunken) years at Uni listening to Dream Theater and Rush endlessly - so the odd time seeped into my head as I practiced noodling along. I'm reasonably good at spotting all the 'usual' odd times - it's just the random 13/8s and whatever Starless (King Crimson) is in (13/8 to 13/16) that hurts. I find it easier if the music is odd time but in a regular repeating riff format, like Prog Metal, as opposed to some Yes songs which just wander off into odd-time in a jazz-like 'we'll get to a chorus or something eventually' thing.

Dim question - is it not possible to very carefully and skilfully drill the 4 missing holes and save re-printing?

I actually find useful advice on mumsnet: job stuff, finances, politics chat, house moving etc. but there is a bit of a hardcore who respond to any post where someone is venting because their husband was a bit of a pillock this afternoon with a reflexive ‘LTB!’.

That's a really impressive Specs page - with clear images, labelling and esp. the diagrams for various connection options near the bottom. Crikey - there's some clever stuff in there: I do like the looper/playback bit too.

So - about those German-made Warwicks then.... Crikey - stuff is getting silly expensive now.

Agog. Simply agog. Wasted on the little blighters who will doubtless swing it about like extravagant troubadours, and then use it to surf down the stairs when they discover how awkward playing an F is.

Suede - Autofiction, their new album from last year: really really good. Mr Osman has some really good bass lines, even a bit of fuzz on some too.

It looks halfway between an MTD and the Ibanez BTB. Hmm - interesting, although not if it's heavy.

I remember him coming on here a few years ago to talk about things (Unless that was TB and I'm hallucinating). He accepts his idiosyncracy and over-opinionated views and has tried to mellow out in recent years (possibly because he fell out with too many people!) I've listened to most of his available output on Spotify and he is definitely brilliant. I like the noise he makes with the Cort, not sure I like the look of it - but it was built to his specs, so I guess there's always a Fender signature model if he doesn't float your boat.

Relentless - The Pretenders new album (not even 2 weeks old). It's really good: Chrissie still sounds distinctively amazing and the band are as usual, pretty good.

Yeah - I'd steer clear of music and ask him about Baseball instead, or what his latest obsessions is: after Baseballs, Wine, Basses, etc.

That's a beautiful box. A lot of thought and detail.

Ofc if you want to hide electricity where no one will find it, stick it in Devizes... (I have lived in Trowbridge, Corsham, Market Lavington and Larkhill)

(I was born there! Well - it's what my passport says - even though I was actually born in Bradford-upon-Avon.) I've been back a few times and I'm not surprised the electricity is dirty...

Tone Paint. What paint is good for metal, and Metal?

And Geddy Lee got to noodle on the Bass of Doom when he went to see Robert while doing his BBBoB. There's probably a few famous musos who own another famous musos old gear. Must be some interesting stories out there.

Agree - only a certain section of people don't want them. But all these obscene payments for memorabilia goes to a good cause, and when some of these rich hoarders die, some of their items may end up being auctioned for charity too. It's not ideal, but it's something.

Crikey. Good going. (presume proceeds go to a charity?)

Wow - some great pedals on there. *must resist*

Sold a Compressor pedal to Mike, great process all round!

First timeit popped up on my mobile, the message was in Italian!!

Jim bought a couple of my pedals (looks up thread, wonders if Jim is a pedal hoarder...). Great transaction - many thanks!

All those clamps!
