SpondonBassed

Some people just should not be allowed access to a jigsaw, chipboard and wood glue all at the same time. I only say that because I made myself a guitar from half inch chipboard (all one piece) when I was eleven. Even though you wouldn't have had a hope of it holding a string straight let alone in tension it looked better than all of those. I'd copied it from a Gibson SG I'd taken a fancy to on TOTP. Far better for bedroom posing than any of that lot.

Too much information.

Spot the similarity?

Because he's wearing boxers shorts.

Dr Brian May uses a sixpence piece. I'm far too cheap for all of that.

I have to say, I do prefer the wedge-shaped plecs myself. I've ordered a set of 12 heavy Gibbo plecs.

They're teardrop shaped. There is also a delivery charge that I haven't looked into as 72 is overkill for my needs and I like them triangular. I looked at a similar offer from Thomann for the triangular ones but the delivery charge plus the large quantity put me off. Although they are a good price (even better for the 1mm ones) they are teardrop shaped. I'm not fond of those. You must think I came down with the last shower... Heeheehee I did read my own link but thank you for confirming that it's not too bad of a deal. The thing is, some of the plectrums I came across in my search went into double figures... each. I ain't that fussy.

Is seven quid too much for these? I'm thinking they look like the 1mm ones I had but mine didn't have the letter "H" on them. Are any users of these able to comment?

Still... mustn't grumble. Now where did I put the powdered eggs and condensed milk?

Which one of these plays bass though? I'd have money on Trump playing suzaphone and Satchmo' on cornet.

I believe Donald trumps on ^that^ one.

I understand completely. Our Jack is in a high risk category too so as resident carer I have to behave like I am as well. Not wanting to tempt fate, I haven't committed to this year's event yet I don't want to think that it's off the cards altogether.

'sup?

Oh it's an equal opportunities aubergine then? The emoji doesn't convey that entirely. Very gourd, carry on.

A Build Diary thread might be appropriate but I haven't checked the site rules about commercial manufacturers.

Who gets the aubergine?

Sims Metal Management, Mansfield Road Derby I didn't know they made basses?!?!

What a luverly bunch of basses!

Welcome ZBD.

Clannad played for us a couple of times at boarding school before they went electric. It was between 1975 and 1977. The bridge collapsed on Ciarán Brennan's double bass during the intro to their first number. Some of the music students got up on stage to help and it was a great ice breaker. Their early stuff may have been overshadowed by the success they had with the theme for television's Robin of Sherwood. It's a lovely open sound they had though and it is well worth searching out early releases.

I'm always blown away by the cleanness of your joint lines.

Welcome Sidney.

Have you tried posting the question in the Site Issues and Questions section JV?

That's definitely worthy of its own thread. Yes please.

...and the temptation to garrote the occasional punter with it would be a distraction.
