I may be tempted to get a more expensive shorty but if I enjoy this one why bother.

 Because this is BC and GAS is part of its raison d’être . Wilcock and Serek* shorties lay ahead .

*It was seeing and hearing a Serek shortie that pulled me into the short scale rabbit hole.

The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-1934) - Elton John

 Plenty of folks here who started out on treble.

I use what is sometimes apparently referred to as the ‘Dr Pepper’ setting, where the release and attack are at 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock respectively. I have the ratio at 8:1, with threshold and output at about 2 o’clock (passive basses).

I see what you’ve done there.

I tend to write a lot of bass lines on it simply because it's the instrument I noodle on the most.

When working out the bass lines for various covers, I’ll often reach for the classical guitar as it sits next to the computer and is less faff than plugging the bass in, turning the amp on, etc and its tone just seems to work for this purpose, like a bass but an octave up.

Dear Diary - Moody Blues

Nice 👍. Anyone who can play the guitar at all should have a nylon strung one in the house. I finally bought one a couple of years ago, after decades of not owning one and it’s the guitar I pick up the most.

Dundee was my nearest store and I bought and traded gear there. My nearest instrument store is now GG Edinburgh AFAIK, which isn’t a lot further than Dundee for me. However, for those whose local store was Aberdeen, this is real kick in the nuts, not to mention the staff at all the branches. Hopefully, there will be some sort of buy out and reopening 🤞.

Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles

Cut The Cake - AWB

I had Live and Let Live, back in the day. I still think it rates as one of the best live albums captured on tape.

Rick Fenn is highly underrated on guitar.

Totally agree.

White Line Fever - Motörhead 

I cut them as I don’t like too much wrap on the posts. This is what my headstock looks like…

Has anyone already tried using long scale cobalt flats on a string-thru mustang?

Yes, all good.

Now I find out she's a Cellist like me.

Oh yes, she has just as many chops on the cello as the bass too. On top of all that, she seems like the nicest person too. Don’t you just hate her? 

Blue Monday - New Order

Napoleon Bona, Parts One & Two - Budgie

Edit - Gah! Now my post makes no sense. I started with Thunder's Loser, (Boney losing at Waterloo and all that) but rethought it for Budgie, but now it's a total non sequitur 

Lovely Day - Bill Withers

No useful content but thought I'd show off my appreciation for my two shorties!

That Atelier 😍!
