A Sassafrass T shirt? Good man!

Bad Dog, No Biscuit - Daron Norwood

Because of the string through body on the JMJ, long or medium scales are the way to go.

I’m stealing that! 🤣

Blazing Apostles - BeBop Deluxe

Heart Like A Wheel - Linda Ronstadt

I've subsequently used it on furniture that was dented when moving house. On the 'does it work on a sealed finish' question, the first move is to try. If it doesn't work, there is a further option for this technique. When I bought my used Rob Allen, there was a ding in the the neck, which is finished in nitro. Rather than just ahead on an expensive instrument, I contacted Rob Allen and he said that if the finish was unbroken, a small score with a razor blade would open up the finish for the steam treatment. It turns out that the finish was broken anyway and the dent lifted and is still fine to this day.

If there's a way to make money, someone will push that way, eventually it becomes ingrained in the human psyche that (insert marketing plan here) is good/great/fantastic/never bettered/the way to go.

Working in a Coalmine - Lee Dorsey

Wherever I Lay My Hat - Marvin/Paul

Strange Fruit - Billie Holliday

I can see that too, but as the neck isn’t under string tension, it’s probably the truss rod relief causing some back bow.

In The City - The Jam

I understand wanting to feel that connection with the bass, but once plugged in, the connection is made with the actual output, you probably won’t feel anything from the body once the backline kicks in. However, if you’re going IEM and ampless, this might still be an issue, in which case something like the Backbeat would be worth investigating. Replacement bridge? ^^^ this. The inverse problem is vibration cancellation due to conflicting waves, as mentioned here… If you’re not vibing (pun unintended) with the instrument, move it on, find another that works better for you.

How Much Is That Doggie In The Window - Patti Page

That’s quite the endorsement from a man who has owned some proper exotica.

Ooh, a double P Ric (alike?).

Living the dream. Enjoy.

This echos what I experienced with my old Sandy VM, a shame for such brilliantly built basses.

One shoulder strap appeals to me. I can’t seem to find any site that gives the dimensions, unfortunately and I can’t find it on ESP’s own site, which seems weird. £105 doesn’t seem too spiteful.

I like a midday gig, best of all. No hanging around looking at your watch to see if it's time leave yet, get up, ablutions, breakfast, pack and go. Then it's home before 6 and time to do anything you fancy.

That should be the motto under the BC coat of arms, but maybe in Latin.

You, that ticks a lot of my boxes too. Nickel/chrome hardware and I’m looking for excuses to buy one. Love those Nordy pickups.

If only 😋🤤
