So, you have to establish the context of the question...

In computers, 1 + 1 = 10.

Sure, you can choose your camp; I think I'm in the two legs good, three legs bad one. Your example of the triangle was based on the premise that a chord is defined as at least 3 notes (a triad), and was thereby self-fulfilling; in contrast, mine of two eyes says you can see how far away something is without having to actually walk there. Interestingly, further regarding the triangle and maths, the mathematical definition of a chord is a line which passes through two points... Going back to written definitons of a musical chord, I can see that the number "three" in definitions of a chord is often preceded by the qualifier "usually", thereby hinting that it is not a hard rule. Is there anything else in chord definitions, other than the number of notes which define its characteristics? For instance, if you were to take any definition and replace the words "two" or "three" with "multiple", what else does it say about what makes a chord? eg. Does it have to uniquely identify the key you are playing in?

Yes - selectively picking the ones which say three, but excluding those which say two; that's the point I was hinting at. Of course, few analogies do hold true under all permutations, but my point (again) was that saying a shape has to have at least 3 sides to be two-dimensional may be true, but is as relevant to music as the theory of dinosaurs which states that they are very thin at one end, very fat in the middle, and very thin at the other end.

Hmmm - where is it defined as "three or more" notes? Saying "unison" and "interval" have names doesn't really matter, as three notes has a name too, ie. a "triad". I'm not sure that the triangle analogy is correct, though it does lend itself to supporting the "3 or more" perspective; you could equally come up with other things like "how many eyes do you need to perceive depth".

Well, you wouldn't get much of the quilt!

OK - thanks for the info!

Did they use crosshead screws in '65?

Pah! - What does he know?

Is one string with a harmonic ping a chord too?

I've seen a 60s Precision in a shop and it looks really nice, except the body has been refinished in white; a bit of a shame, I thought...

That sounds likely to me, if only to prevent the logo wearing more.

Nice bass! I've been seeing other models up for sale, but not the SB-700. I had one I bought new in the 70s or was it the 80s, which I sold at some point; it was a very nice bass.

Cor - and they say Fender just do the same old designs. Sadly, I think the "rare" is probably because not many people bought them...

The idea of putting a Marshall amp into that somehow appeals...

So, when the seller says "These range from £300 to £1500", which end of that scale is a Korean one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tokai-Love-Rock-electric-guitar-rock-concert-damaged/142654907054?epid=1123285000&hash=item2136e522ae:g:~W8AAOSwWktaWiSj

Get in early to buy for next year's Secret Santa!

Cool - it was Manchester Apollo for me.

Mo Foster is a good 'un; I saw him with Jeff Beck on the There & Back tour; met them after the gig!

There might be a sale in a while...

Well, assuming it is genuine and can be refinished, that was a pretty good price. I dropped out earlier...

A mere scratch! I'm picking up my bass tomorrow from the bloke who's repairing this. and this...

Hehe - he does spell it properly in the description, though.

Won't come to any 'arm!

Aye - just the title and the illegal logo.
