    Bass meant to be arriving tomorrow, paid for premium delivery, not arriving until Tuesday. Disappointing, DPD (disappointing premium delivery).

      Already done, it’s the disappointment that really burns and that it went from next day delivery, to 4 day delivery. I emailed DPD for an explanation, but radio silence has ensued.

      Thanks for that uplifting thought. ☹️

    I see Fender are celebrating 75 years by reissuing all the usual suspects, again.

      Yep: Rock/Fender/ Hard Place. It’s difficult for them, but they need to stick with a new design, it’ll be slow to begin with, but they’ll get there. I wonder what we’d be playing now if Leo & Co hadn’t ground it out in the early days (it couldn’t have been easy)? They should’ve tried harder with the Dimension bass, with some high profile  ‘name player’ endorsements. I can only think of Yolanda Charles playing one.

    Lockdown symptoms: really weird haircut, and swapping out my EB Cobalt flats for a set of D'Addario steel rounds. Sound like stilettos through plate glass. This'll keep me amused for another day.

    Oh oh! Short scale GAS!

      Tried the Gibson DC, s'alright, not the best set up or hardware; Gretsch budget version, awesome for the money; Fender Mustangs, really liked the JMJ signature, others OK but the body feels a bit small for my frame. The one I really want to try is the SWB-1 (@Chownybass rubs hand with glee 😁) but Anderton's won't have stock until the 20th according to their site :( . I've tried de-tuning one of mine 2 steps and putting a capo at the 2nd fret (pretty much 30" scale) and I am liking it. Now if I could just get a Mustang neck to fit my P type and get it intonate...

    Looks like Guitar Guitar are having a bit of a Lakland clearout, https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/clearance/lakland/guitars/bass/?Ordering=2

      I feel someone on BC should fill their boots. The 5 string with the J Sonics seems a steal.

    Just joined the Darkglass family. The boss even encouraged me to buy it when I said “I’ll think about it first” after boring her for 45 minutes in Andertons 😎

      Boring = relentlessly wearing down. Top tactic.

    Gah, missed out on a Sadowsky SBP-2 because eBay was playing silly beggars 🤬 grrr!

      I was thinking of going the extra yard and getting the SBP1 here (thanks to your post) but I see it has now been sold. You snooze, you lose.

      Thanks for that, I was hoping to keep the cost down though (at least today 😉).

    Happiness is: picking up your custom built basses after having played an off the shelf bass for a while and realising how right you got it.

    Don’t you just hate it when you receive shipping info, only to find that it’s scheduled for a day when you’re out ☹️.

    Giving the Mono Betty short strap a go, nice and comfortable so far 👍

    Shout out to Jason at Hipshot, who once again sent me Ultralight tuner adaptor bushes free, gratis and for nothing. Top customer service.

    Well pleased with the results from my recent recording session with my Tom Petty tribute https://www.facebook.com/heartfakersband/?hc_ref=ARRcWgx8vn_Kwfj-SPRAeZ7M_TrGAx5qVpTM6faIZWYKgSkoyj5RmceQawTn36EwhVA&fref=nf

      Then I’m with you, they looked ridiculous! However, perhaps it was a ‘great idea’ by the wardrobe dept. I don’t watch these hideous programs, they were presented to me upon switching the idiot box on, I did not tarry before selecting another channel.

      Hmm, have you been watching daytime BBC TV, more specifically, one of their interminable ‘buy and sell tat’ programs? If so, I understand where you’re coming from.

      Thanks, Skank. Valid points, well made. Good spot on the logo, I had fun creating that. Those Thomann 12 strings are good sounding guitars too and a bargain.

      At least with the walnut you’ve avoided the maple boat anchor syndrome. Enjoy.

    Well here it is: 

    The video for my bands cover/mashup of Superstition and some Erykah Badu.

    Hope y'all enjoy :)

    My band's first single was played on the Radio today! :biggrin:

    It's called "Eye to Eye" and you can check it out on our website here: The Goodbye Look.com

    We hope you like it :)

      Well that took about 5 seconds for me to start rocking in my chair. Good work.

    Buying a decent strap is harder than I thought. Most of the 'big' sites don't specify the width or padding, and there's so much tacky branded garbage out there that it's a pain to filter through everything!

      The Maruszczyk ones are rather good, they certainly make my boat anchor of a Ric bearable; 9cm wide, approx 1.5cm of padding. https://public-peace.de/accessories/straps/maruszczyk-instruments
