I am fond of a bit of Trout.

Very wise. You don't want him to show you his "extra leg".

If the seller chucks Rolf Harris in with it would that sway you?

Dang, My own petard just went off in my face. I've been righteously pantsed by Skank. It is hard to think of a greater honour sir.

No... Dobbin.

Welcome Chris. I don't but I think it's a cracking idea to start a topic with.

I'm very big in Liiliput.

I regularly practice tight gitism.

Your local am dram society ought to be able to send you someone who is a dab hand at the old half coconut shells. Failing that... get a theremin.

Can't you sample one of the local nags?

That'll be the GAS. Bless you.

Welcome Matt.

Welcome Craig.

Welcome Judi.

Just because you aren't promoting this latest build doesn't mean you should stop asking for freebies.

Welcome Chewie even though you have been here a while. It's nice of you to share your background.

I've got to keep in your good books just for the chance of an invite to tea and a listen to some of your collection!

Welcome Arno.

Welcome Harry.

You'll be doing one of those twisty necks liked @Saved next! "Subtle elegance". Okay, if you say so. In the same way that Fender headstocks and road traffic accidents are subtle I suppose.

or Jaco... or Mk... or Adam C or even... Davie 504 See.

An interesting feature in this design is the bold move towards outboard stringing of the E and G strings. Here we see it achieved by using an oversized bridge from the set of Land of the Giants.

Yes thanks. I have the same facility with VLC media player. It's free and is the most versatile freeware media player that I know.

Have you not got a fantasy set? I've had one for a few years now. I add to it sometimes and other times I drop numbers from the shortlist but I have a core of popular songs that I like. I put the tunes onto random play with the bass turned down and play through a few songs at a time without pause. It sharpens me up on the intros doing so. I do need to work with live musicians though. Recordings are inflexible carbon-copy-every-time propositions. The repetitive aspect can hit you at some point and you might wish you never had to play some of them again but then isn't that what happens to working musicians anyway? After a bit, that goes away and you can often find yourself rediscovering an old favourite from a completely different point of view. I have about forty songs (covers) in my set. I'm happy with that number for my own practice but it leaves room to learn new songs in order to satisfy a role in another band down the line. Bear in mind that I have not been in a band since 1987.
