You'll have to rename yourself JJ-Bassist.

I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass by Nick Lowe. That would be the first cover that I learned. I still don't feel I do it justice forty years later...! Before that I was playing to original songs that were derivative of a lot of the eighties stuff from Smiths, Joy Div/New Order, REM and such. We were a side project of the drummer's and it was for a laugh more than for the gigs.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. (EJ version just for a laugh)

It works very well on a Yamaha RD400.

If the timber comes from a convent's amateur dramatics society clubhouse it will be verging on the ridiculous.

Swiftly followed by spin-offs - Touch my Timber and Buff my Bark.

Welcome Beau.

Welcome back Sté.

My housemate's eighteen month old identical twin grandsons appear to be developing with opposite handedness - one is using his left hand predominately the other, his right. It will be interesting to see how they get on when they start writing. When I started playing I found I had to think about finger placement a lot for my fretting (left) hand. At a certain point that became unnecessary as my left fingers became quite nimble. I believe most people have the capacity to improve their weaker hand given the motivation. I find using PC keyboards helps a lot. It is a long time since I was a two finger typist. Over the years I have learned to use all fingers and both thumbs so my hands have to travel less over the keyboard.

You may prefer the PJ pick up configuration of the 755 better than the HH of the 505. If you have the opportunity, try to get a play on the two types to help you decide.

Brass is about the most satisfying and rewarding of metals to work with a file. I'm enjoying the project too.

Welcome Steve.

Haternity Mospital? I don't get it...

Welcome Big Ny.

Welcome Wombat.

As mentioned by LBM392 above the Romans marched to the call of "sinister dexter sinister dexter" instead of "left right left right" when marching. Dexter grew up to be quite an emotionally scarred young man because he believed what the soldiers kept saying about him as they marched past.

A good two tone perhaps? (It's the punk in me, sorry.)

Yes. Looking forward to it.

Welcome Martim.

Welcome Chris. I'm very happy with my SR605. It's very similar to the 505. The neck is nice and easy. I have no experience of the other bass you mentioned.

Welcome Andre.

Welcome Kullboys.
