Lithium - Nirvana

The Gallery looks like it had one, but that seems to have gone already. As I understood it a while back, JMJs would be available in June. I really like mine. However, I find the relicing very lazy and somewhat unconvincing, as a lot of the dings are too uniform and obviously done with the same tool in a repeating pattern. That said, it's a great playing and sounding bass, that is really well put together (the neck pocket is tighter than a gnat's chuff). Seymour Duncan really should release that pickup to the general public, but I imagine Fender have made a deal where they can't, thus preventing folk upgrading cheaper Mustangs like the Vintera or Squiers.

Ernie - Premium Bond, I'm guessing. I rather liked that link. Bugger too slow! Let's try again... Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

From that, I assume that it's the J pickup that's adding the bland honk. I expected better from Aguilar.

That is stunning looks wise. Shame about the head heaviness on the strap, but it seems a full scale, 5 string is a bit much for the chambered body. Both my 4 string Ls are spot on on the strap, but they are 33" as well (both weigh in the 3.25kg area). I assume this passive? What's the P like soloed?

A Glass Of Champagne - Sailor

This is spot on. My Mustang is slab bodied (although the edges are fairly rolled) but comfy enough. My hand normally falls on a P placed pickup, between the pickups on a J or at the front corner of an MM, I'm not a close to the bridge player - normally. However, the Mustang shape and size drops my hand into that classic near the bridge position position that adds that tighter, slightly nasal tone. On a Mustang, with its darker, fuller sound, is an absolute boon IMO.

Great T shirt. I wore mine so much it just became a series of holes held together with some cotton.

Our Lips Are Sealed - Fun Boy Three

My Name Is - Eminem

Bargain and a great circuit to boot. Nice one!

Ladytron- Roxy

I’ve not had my eyes sullied by a gents package, but why do some blokes seem to think it’s ok to make videos in shorts? It’s not a good look.

Don’t It Make My Black Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle

Dirty Work - Steely Dan

Having recently replaced the P90s in my Casino with Artecs and been amazed at the difference, I’m going to say the originals are absolutely dirt cheap.

Across the Universe - The Beatles

You Know My Name - Chris Cornell

If that is actually starting to get you down, perhaps it is time for a rethink after all. If it doesn't bring you any kind of satisfaction whatsoever, what's the point? Only you know the real answer here and no amount of cajoling and positive vibes from us in the BC community will change that, at lest certainly long term. Do you like playing at all, or does it fill you with self loathing? If the latter, pack it in and do something else; life's too short.

Nice to know someone actually wins these things. Congrats.

Quality vision and carving there, Sir.

I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Nik Kershaw

To paraphrase a well know Liverpudlian, she's not even the greatest female singer ever in Fleetwood Mac.

Rip It Up - Little Richard
