We like Andy. Plainly doesn’t bear a grudge and sounds more your type of player.

That was immediate thought; very dapper. I hope I look as good when I'm 80 and can still go on tour* (medical procedures notwithstanding). *Not that I ever have, but I remain hopeful.

What @DawnPatroller said.

Some of us have over 2.6k to go, which should stop me posting random rubbish to gain quotes and likes. However...

Steve Jordan has the deepest pocket, he’s so good. A perfect dep for Charlie. Daryl Jones is going to love it (I assume he’s still has the Stone’s bass chair). Check out Steve Jordan’s work with the John Mayer Trio; sublime.

I had an RB4 exactly the same as your one. Fantastic sounding bass, none better IMO. If the nut width had been more P like, I’d still have it I reckon.

LaBella nylon wrapped strings would help get that sound nailed.

A similar effect can be had with more neck relief and a higher action too. Also, limiting the amount of vibrato applied and not sliding into notes will reduce what is normally considered to be the fretless sound.

Very nice, Sir. If only there were some website, not unlike BC, that was for guitars and has a Tele Tuesday thread, where you could display this fine piece of work.

Given where you are, take a visit to Guitar Guitar in either Glasgow or Edinburgh (or both) and try a few back to back.

2/3 of an easy selling price is the best you can expect. GG are no different from most retailers in this respect. They don’t see that they’re making a profit on the instrument that you buy, they want it on everything. It’s their business and that’s the way it is, plus they have 20% VAT to consider and probably free delivery, if ordered online. Commission sales are the way to go IMO if you can’t move it here or elsewhere.

Spoken like a true dad. No parental blinders in the Travis household.

Some of mine never require adjustment, even when I restrung one of the E-C from B-G. Another one needs a tweak with the changing of the seasons (at least it did in my old house, things might be different now). Maybe the way forward is to go down the Vigier route and not have a truss rod at all.

Charlie Chandler is your best port of call for advice, I reckon https://ccgx.co.uk/plek/

S'art innit. I don't rate Modigliani*, but I understand he's a bit good and others think he's wonderful. I don't mind Nickleback, some of it's fine, some I find a bit trite. For my tastes, I've heard worse, much worse. *Ransom abstract artist chosen for effect, other artists are available.

I always check. Changed back to slightly lower tension flat ties on my Mustang yesterday, 1/4 turn or so required to remove the buzz. All fine and dandy today.

Wishing I Was Lucky - Wet x 3

I don’t understand the Nickleback hate, they make a decent noise and can sing in tune. It does seem ‘rock trendy’ to not like them, but they still fill (or at least filled) stadia. Coldplay on the other hand 🤮 😆.

Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran

Wee Ezette turns 40 next year. Where did half of those years go? I was awake and everything, doesn’t seem real (no doubt, a good proportion of that time was spent on BC!). Lovely photo of you two @AndyTravis teen years incoming! Have fun with that
