He knew what he was getting into when he decided to brisket.

Is that your best heifert?

Cud you repeat that?

Beef air. Now hoof lung dung?

Ahem. Heeheehee That's an extraordinary guitar with the void like that.

Mirrored. I like the extra thickness to it as well. It's subtle but it makes a difference. As long as it doesn't foul your stroke, so to speak.

Welcome Dawn.

Welcome John.

My mum and dad lived in Twickenham for a few years and I learned of some of the island's history from that. Trevor Baylis (of the clockwork radio) lived on the island at the time.

Welcome Winton.

Welcome back Rick.

Welcome Fenderbird.

I can only speak for my own experience from letting my beard grow out a while back. It took eighteen months to get to what you see on my avatar. Although I enjoyed ownership of it at that length, it was a responsibility which I felt would wear on me over time. It isn't so long now. You don't really want it much longer than that anyway else it gets caught up in stuff. More importantly, people don't realise what a fire hazard a long beard can be. As I am otherwise quite bald, what I learned from the experience was: I rediscovered the joy of being able to run my fingers through my own hair. I rediscovered the thrill of feeling the wind in my hair. Little children thought I was awesome Older people thought I was a dirty old tramp Oh, and when I trimmed it back to stubble I had the extraordinary feeling of wet skin where there had previously been hair. It wasn't actually wet but I still had to check in the mirror a couple of times at first. That took a day or two to get used to. Mr Sklar is therefore both my bass hero and my beard hero.

Welcome Iva.

Welcome Mike.

Welcome P-Belly. Great screen name. Unfortunately, your GAS will only be reinforced by viewing these pages. Mwahahahaha!

Welcome John.

Annoying. Next!

Welcome Bob.

Welcome Bassimmo.

Nice lines.

You could do worse than use a quality hand file. Do a few practice pieces first to get your eye in. You're looking for the best filing angle. You're also looking to clamp the workpiece such it can be quickly moved around as you progress section by section whilst always presenting the workpiece in a manner that gives you the best angle of attack. I enjoy a bit of filing. Metals and plastics are my favourites. Timber is a bit different because the grain affects the cut but I'm getting there with that more and more these days.
