Welcome to the fold of the low end. Great bunch of folk here, who are always happy to offer helpful advice - about anything (the diverse expertise is amazing).

A Passage to Bangkok - Rush

Ah, the old, “I was lead astray, m’lud,” excuse, also known as the, ‘a big boy did it and ran away’ ploy. I’m liking your style, Sir. Plenty of ‘helpful’ folk here to feed your GAS.

Whistlin' Past the Graveyard - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Davy’s On The Road Again - Manfred Mann

You Can Ring My Bell - Anita Ward

Poison - Alice

What a great bunch of guys we have here, they’re so giving with their knowledge.

Less Than Zero - Elvis Costello

Yes they did make valid points and acoustic and solid bodied instruments are different things. But, as I’ve already stated, the thread is circling. Gah! I’ve just circled around my own post 🤣.

Cool, as was the other one that I cropped and cloned out. I do have a picture of mine (it’s almost identical) but it’s not really usable. PS. I hope you don’t mind.

Poundcake - Van Halen

IS! 🤣

You are not wrong. However, check how many times versions of the above statement have been repeated in one form or another and also the opposing view, it’s become a more mature version of “IS!” “ISN’T!”. This thread is now just chasing its own tail.

Grandad - Clive Dunn (I’m so very, very sorry 😞)

C’mon, this thread stopped being fun a while back, now it’s heading towards spiteful. I note the emoji indicating jest and that’s exactly the kind of thing I would say. However, there have been a few, seemingly innocent, threads lately that have descended to the murky, levels of political and religious threads. Lockdown has brought our the worst characteristics of the keyboard warrior and it’d be a shame for BC folk to take a huge dislike to others or even the forum itself and certainly before new admin guidelines ask us to avoid politics, religion and tonewood 🤣.

Surely this thread is done now? There are two camps here, ‘wood makes a difference on solid bodied instruments’ and ‘wood doesn’t make an appreciable difference on solid bodied instruments’. No one is changing their mind and some folk are getting bent out of shape. Let’s agree to disagree and get on with some actual bass playing. Rant over.

These are hardly beginner lines, but I think we’ve moved on since the thread was started. A breakdown of Bakithi’s playing on Graceland...

One of the greatest guitar solos ever.^^^ Roxanne - The Police

Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

Lovely idea. I’ve had the book for years and found it a thoroughly entertaining read, so much that I’ve read it twice.

Who ever told you to post this was totally right. Very, very nice.
