Proof of concept:-

I thought you'd typed "scraped" for a minute and wondered whether you'd contracted summat nasty. The neck is definitely the core of a good instrument, I agree. I researched them in part for the first BC podcast. @Chownybass nicknamed me "the neck bloke" for that. Hahahaha! Like I demonstrated anything other than a tendency to state the obvious. I was barely scratching the surface in an attempt to educate myself and the listeners. I think musicians tend to see the neck of an instrument as being crucial whereas wannabes see the body...

I'll follow up with: Have you got any tasty hardware installed? That would certainly make it possible to recoup some of your money to invest in a different project.

That's a good question.

It's a little more expensive and has cables to consider but I use a Zoom B3 to practice with headphones. There were a couple advertised here when I bought it. It has been superseded by Zoom's B3n so you should get one for a good price.

Powerful.

Queen Bee - Taj Mahal.

Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) by Pink Floyd (On five string or drop D tuning).

That's got to be a simple one... it's on my set list for a start.

Welcome Andy.

Welcome back Gomez.

Walking on the Moon - The Police. There is a chorus line but it's as easy as the verse line. Deceptively difficult to pull off well though.

Welcome Fangio. Re: "Bass face"; Have a good sniff of a Limburger or Camembert cheese before you start to play. Keep that lip curled for the rest of your performance and you'll be right.

Welcome CV.

Welcome BSB.

Is the Burbury compulsory or can non-Chavs use it too?

Yes. I've had this on occasion too. I always check under magnification because it feels so real but I never find anything. It usually goes after a day or two.

Welcome Mark.

Welcome Geserarian.

That's way too Moriartyfarty.

Welcome Connor.

Welcome J. Nice build.

Welcome Bassimist.

Welcome Mongo. A lot of us are on the second run. Good to have you back.

They look like very small capstans. Are you sure they aren't machine heads for a guitar?
