I especially like how the line is interrupted neatly by the dot outlines. Beautifully done. Have you got smaller ones from the seventeenth up? The image is not quite focussed up there.

I'm fairly sure we were at the same school together. She had layers upon layers of sweaters. Nesh.

Have a listen to Zappa's Valley Girl and then see if you feel the same way. You were fine. I had never done an interview before and I felt quite comfortable. The only drawback was the laggy and sometimes brittle Internet connection but we got around that okay.

Two of these: Carslbro Marlin PA 150 I have one on each of the headphone channels from my laptop. I am lucky enough to be able to practice at decent volumes most of the time so they're handy for the backing music. I just turn down the "Low" on the laptop channels and play over the recorded basslines. I also have a TR606 (hidden under Soul Fingers, a book about The Duck, sorry) plugged into one of them. I can run mics and if needed, I can add the pair of wedges (Celestion CR 102) to the home built (by another BC member) pair of red speakers. They could be applied to a small PA situation with eight channels between the pair if I could find anyone to accompany me on my own personal journey into music. In the meantime, I continue to cry into my pillow before I go to sleep to dream of lost opportunities with the band back in Dublin many years ago. If only I had been on the dole. Heeheehee. In truth, have no real regrets. My job stood me well and left me comfortable enough to enjoy my hobby today.

Welcome Wambamalubop.

That would be me, practising alone as usual. I don't get out much. By coincidence and just out of shot I have a fire blanket. Now I'm wondering what you've heard about them.

Seeing as you've posted two Wals Franzs I think you should mop the floor after everyone's gone home. PS: I gagged on my own gag. Wot a twerp. Must not go by screen name alone next time.

Er, your bum does look big in that.

Are you royalty? I mean you have a NBD coming and now you've got this one that the public can celebrate. You're a lucky lad, whatever way you look at it, with two new workhorses to add to the stable. Congratulations! I've discovered a fondness for one of the range myself. For those who don't get the signature files it's the SR605 (two-position mid).

I can't wait until you walk past the Left-Handed Aluminium Double Bass Emporium then.

Newtone made a set of five 34" strings for my Steinberger Spirit. They were about forty quid five or so years ago. Length shouldn't be an issue. He wasn't doing tapewounds then. Maybe he's expanding the range at his newer premises.

Cool. I understand the battery is located on the headstock. One of the FAQ vids for fretfx says that it isn't supplied for fitment with the battery on the body, nearer the centre of gravity. If you already have neck dive this could exaggerate it. It looks like a reversible modification. It would certainly be a way of finding if there is any value to lighting up your instrument. It sounds like you are happy with yours JV.

I have copied the content of this message here as it is a more appropriate place for further discussion: When SubsonicSimpleton contacted me and asked if it was okay to comment in a follow-up message. I suggested that the comments be made here or alternatively I would forward them. He has made a good point.

I believe he was a cottage industry all by himself, allegedly.

No but you got me searching for background to both names and it left me better informed. Cheers.

Is that strip just the same width as the fingerboard's depth? I think the YT clip I saw may have been another product or a development of a similar idea.

Did you ask if they knew any Quo?

I like the sound of that. If there are enough band members to make that possible it must make every gig exciting and a little bit special.

Welcome LS.

Hahahaha! No. Nor is Valerie Singletons knicker elastic under threat. It looked like you have to cover the back of the neck with the stuff but I'm not sure if it's the same product.

It seems to be a sticky backed plastic arrangement in one of the YT videos.

Lucky Len.

One Two Three Yes, it's a word according to some dictionaries. It is mildly amusing to find that neither Oxford, Cambridge nor Collins online dictionaries seem to carry a definition of the word whilst happily promoting the use of amazeballs with impunity. Good grief. If you do get as far as the third link, there are a couple of interesting variations of the root word - slump
