  1. Bending notes totally works. Just for me, feeling the winds move over the fret was a strange feeling. But that was just my left hand's experience.
  2. There is a weakness in your argument here, but your enthusiasm cannot be faulted. Do you work for the present UK government?
  3. I am on a quest for one bass to rule them all. It has been a long quest. On this quest I bought a Sklar Dingwall. There were lots of great things about, amongst which was a neck profile which REALLY did it for me. But I discovered that I like to do side to side vibrato. I knew that I do it, but had not realised how much. The roundwounds moving across the frets was a total sensory non starter for me. Very odd.
  4. I bought a 6 string to try. I feel your pain.
  5. I dream of being able to do that. And believe me, I have tried.
  6. I am sure Belgium has some fine pickup winders!
  7. To the Post Office. Post to https://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/. Job done.
  8. Rewinding what is in there would not cost a fortune.
  9. Disco Decks to plug into your laptop and play those pumping beats.
  10. Stop yourself now! I double dare you.
  11. Get a load of that!
  12. While we are discussing the Macca/Hofner interface, any opinions on a cheap and cheerful functioning copy of one of these? I just fancy one. I have played one but cannot for the life of me remember what it was.
  13. Yes please.
  14. We actually have F and FF. No, I am not talking about dynamics.
  15. Niche, but funny!
  16. No guts, no glory LP man!
  17. Da da-da da da daaaaa, da da da da da daaaaa, da da da da da da da-da da etc IIRC.
  18. Weird and wonderful would be to buy one of these, put a proper bridge, new machine heads, Delano 5string P pickup and custom Newtone strings on it and expect it to function as a 5 string bass. It did not.
  19. That's where that went! It was certainly from the days before lightweight was a thing.
  20. Lovely cabs.
  21. That's a short scale P, right?
  22. To be fair, in a 7 minute CCW vid, the first 2 minutes are sub-Clannad "wooooowooo" and the last 2 minutes are a repeated tag with someone giving it their max on the vocal front. Not the max, but their max. During lockdown we had a bunch of these in our online services which were a run of videos at the begining. We usually managed 30 seconds before moving on to the next video. I often wonder what people are hearing that I am missing.
