I stripped the whole neck and left a curve for the headstock transition and it looked OKish. I saw another owner’s attempt, where the black started as a point behind the nut and flared out to the full black headstock, which looked much better. I think stripping the back of headstock would have been the best solution. Mine was beast, weight-wise, but marvellously balanced.

The problem was that it wasn’t gloss, it was matt, made glossy by playing, which in turn made them sticky. I never regretted stripping mine, it felt and played so much better.

White Lines - Duran Duran

Burns did the folded over headstock thing, but not that body shape. Looks short scale too, to my eye.

Get Down - Gilbert O’Sullivan

Danny’s highlighting of the Giaccamo Turra debacle went way beyond the bass community.

Paul McCartney and Wangs

Nightbirds - Shakatak

Bite The Hand That Feeds - Paul Young

World Shut Your Mouth - Julian Cope

There are no daft questions, when it comes to researching basses. Basschat is always willing to help other members spend their money, it stops us spending ours .

It's Oh So Quiet - Björk & Betty Hutton

I'm sure Viv Wilcock would love these.

Slipknob

Keep Talking - Pink Floyd

Shout To The Top - The Style Council

There’s A Hole In My Bucket - Harry Belafonte and Odetta

Another from our old set list and one we also recorded as a demo.

You certainly have to be on your mettle. I was doing a run through, when Lady Ez popped her head around the door to ask if I wanted a coffee, as soon my brain considered the answer (which was in the affirmative), I completely lost the plot of the tune.

And is exactly what I thought whilst posting. Apparently, if you liked the first movie and set the bar fairly low, Tap2 is OK.

I have 12 to learn for Monday. The last one I charted today (I was only given the list last night) was UB40’s Kingston Town, an interesting take on the classic root/five.
