Harley Benton MB-4 Satin Black (REVIEW and SOUND TEST)
Burns-bass replied to dave84's topic in Bass Guitars
Agreed. I paid over £100 for mine in the 90s and it was a POS.- 99 replies

The sock was a winner, and I’m sure it improved my tone too so I’ve got a copyright on the idea and will be a millionaire (maybe!)

He looks like a super cool dude! It’s an ‘upgraded’ 60s or 70s Precision (I’d say 70s) jazz with a late 60s Telecaster neck fitted - check out the lollipop tuners.

That’s a brilliant idea. I’ll use a padded walking sock and see how I get on! I had considered cutting some foam to fit, but this is much more practical.

This is a weird question, but bear with me... We’ve converted our loft into and office/practice room which is amazing. I’ve got my DB set up but I find that lifting it off the stand often results in me hitting the eaves with the scroll. I could be careful, but I’m just a clumsy person, so wondered if anyone had any ideas on what I could put on top to protect the scroll. Any ideas?

He's now selling just the body on its own. Weird!

When you remove VAT and international shipping you’re left with, what, say £80. Given a 100% markup, these have to be landed in Germany for about £40, which is quite frankly incredible. I have a HB shirt scale which is amazing too.

Saving Britain's Pubs with Tom Kerridge
Burns-bass replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
And to be fair he appeared to have driven to most of these pubs himself and he is a self-confessed former alcoholic so I reckon he deserves a pass. -
Saving Britain's Pubs with Tom Kerridge
Burns-bass replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
Watch the programme. It was actually really well made and Tom owns and runs 3 pubs himself, so certainly understands the business . My dad used to work in the trade, but I must admit to having almost no knowledge of how tough it is for publicans, particularly those in tied pubs. The concept of the show is Tom helping some amazing people make more money from their community pubs, and while I typically hate reality TV this was really good. The guys who run the pub in question seem like the perfect landlords, but the only ones losing out are them. -

My favourite sellers are the antagonistic ones that want to sell a vintage bass for £3000 but won’t ‘take it apart or photograph it’. ”Just trust me, it’s definitely legit. Honest...”

My point was a trained killer duffing up a drug-addled junkie hardly seems a fair fight. Do people even steal stereos anymore? If you do see someone, just phone the police. Personally, I’d rather they deal with it than someone (anyone) dispensing their own form of justice.

Not sure this sort of thing helps to be honest, but if it made him feel better then I’m sure that what matters.

Some VERY good news at last - live music back by the Spring?
Burns-bass replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
There are potentially thousands of viruses that could transfer from animals to humans, apparently. It’s much more likely to happen if we continue to destroy their natural habitats such as the rainforests. -

Burns-bass replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
The future does look a little better today, but only for us in a rich country with socialised healthcare. The virus will still wreak havoc around the world, attacking the poorest and most vulnerable. Sometimes it’s worth ignoring the negativity, and recognising just how lucky we are to live in this country. -

This is brilliant to hear. I used to use a service such as this for motorbikes. Worth the extra cost for the peace of mind. I hope it goes really well for you, I really do. If it’s being set up as a business, I’d keep an eye out for support grants and suchlike too.
