    I seem to remember leaving a rather positive review of last Saturday's gig. I may have different feelings about it now, as I caught a dose Covid from it! 😤🤒😷

    If I were still living in Purley, I’d be all over this.

    Check out that, er, checking.

    Wanna be with the beer and guitars, But that’s not what my priorities are. Wishing I was livin’ the life, But that ain’t always easy with kids and a wife. It writes itself. Hopefully, all be fine and the worst it’ll be will be the eye patch of shame (like a dog’s cone of shame, but less obtrusive). I had a nasty habit of scratching my eye as a kid, an occupational hazard for an early wearer of the hard, contact lenses available at the time, so I feel that pain.

    That’s the important thing, you’ve got your priorities in the right order. Wish her well from chez Ez.

    My two ebony ‘boards.

    Excellent!

    One of your jobs as a parent is do things that make your children, especially daughters, roll their eyes. You’re not their friend, you’re their source of irritation, at least whilst they’re children. It’s all part of the fun, especially when you do it on purpose. To be clear, I am joshing somewhat. I think I was always the fun dad (opinions may and probably do vary, especially with the ex) and I didn’t have to try at all to get my little girl (who is now over 40!) to like me.

    Really? Interesting!

    They need Pino (or someone as high profile in the bass world) to play his fretless on a popular song again, with some like Laurie Latham mixing, that’ll surely spark some GAS in those who haven’t considered one and EB would probably more than happy to fill the gap. However, with the price of US models these days, maybe they should release them in the SBMM range. I defretted a US SUB (by I, I mean I had The Gallery do it and a top notch job it was too), which I eventually sold (smacks self sharply on back of head), sounded great.

    That's interesting, maybe this is why I like them on most of my basses - I like the sound of the string and perhaps the mixture of wood/metal/plastic carrier is more irrelevant? Hmm, That sounds sarcastic and it's not meant to be, I really think you might be onto to something there, at least for me. Interesting, very interesting...

    Oh, I'm excited for you. The general description of the '51/'54 bass neck has always given me pause, even though I love the general aesthetic of those models. I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

    I had a Basic VM4, which was a brilliantly built bass. However, whilst sounding fine, I found the pickup and/or preamp uninspiring. It was as if a Scandi style guru was asked to design the sound. It never sounded bad and I was happy with it for a while, but there was something missing. Hopefully, this is something that has been addressed in the many years since. Perhaps your idea of going passive with a tone capsule is the way to go.

    It kills me every time you post a photo, because I can't see them EDIT: Ah ha! I have found a way!
  16. ezbass
    IIRC, you have, or at least had, a bass fitting this description. It must be this that is destined for the toolshed for some 'reimagining'. I feel the need to listen to Futurama and Sunburst Finish now; Crying to the sky, searching for a silver lining...

    A BBD tribute? I'm jealous.
  18. ezbass
    OK, I get it really. Go on you Charlie! EDIT: You posted just as I did.

    One of my favourite albums of all time. A map-o'-Tazie? 😳

    What @neepheid said.
  21. ezbass
    Ah, the Fender Whatevercaster. A fine, if lesser known, instrument

    When he starts playing that fast, walking groove is sublime. Nice to see him playing his Bass Collection signature Jazz too.
  23. ezbass
    You make a good point. The ebony on my Rob Allen and Maruszczyk are like chalk and cheese (he said overstating the case massively for effect).
  24. ezbass
    I'm hoping that that's a typo and should read not meeting. If it is spelt correctly... c'mon, we want to know.
  25. ezbass
    Agreed, that looks fab. Mind you, if someone said to me, "I can do that with my angle grinder," I might decline the kind offer and walk away surreptitiously. The things you can do with an angle grinder, who knew? Is that the shape you're going for @Beedster?
