Welcome Armani.

Doctor doctor!  I've got a nasty dose of groin dive!

Welcome Taalon.

Welcome Nos.

Welcome Fino.  (Fino Falladino?)

Have you considered CF rods?  I know some people have used them along with truss rods in neck manufacture.  Perhaps they'd work in your bass body?

Have a look at the Basses for Sale thread in the Basschat Marketplace.  It may help.

Talking about - portrait of Tracy. Has anyone played it on upright?

I'm pretty sure Tracy was horizontal when Jaco wrote that.

Well, it sounds about right, but I have one question - why ???

Don't ask me.  I don't even know why Jaco did it.  This for me is a bit like the emperor's new clothes - everyone goes along with it until a little boy points and laughs.

Like the odd annulus things on some Alembics – I've always thought those access cutaways give your bass a sort of flabby cloaca thing.

 

This has BassChat's Famous Quotes written all over it.

Do you know why cows wear bells?

Because the horns don't work.

The wind section does though...

You could always play one...I think it's got bagpipes at the moment...?

The vocals make it sound like a football anthem.  I'm afraid my bass solo would be just that; me on my own far far away from that!

No bass solo?

Definitely needs more cowbell.

Like a dusky maiden...  gorgeous.
