Ricky 4000

That's shocking. Not that there haven't been some great records over the years that were famously mucked about with. But to fit in with time slots / ad breaks!? Euch.

They trim bits out, or literally speed it up?

They what? 😮

So you're saying brave vegan people eat straw? 😗

Test. edit: It's good now. 👍 edit edit: Nope, slow again. 😕

Anyhoo, Ped seems to have fixed it already. 👍 edit: Oh no he didn't.

Fontella Bass (RIP)

I'm having the same delay submitting a post. It started last night. The 'submit post' button says 'Saving...' during the delay.

I had that album back in the day! 👍

Sh*t on fire. 😄

If you got a keys player:

And this: 🙂

Elvis Costello ya. 👍

Hhhhh, he's probably trying to Carl his way into my band as well then. 😬

I can't stand Doug Wimbish.

He's a circus freak. But I gets to steal his funky way of playing 'Fame', so I gets the last laugh. 🤗

Free Nelson Mandela - Special AKA Stand Down Margaret - The Beat

Like Stan Sargeant. Unusual how he has the bass strung upside-down as it were. 🙂

💪

Looks heavy.

By 8 months. 🤓

And there's the intro bit bit to Rocket Man. Not that I've ever played Elton John songs, mind... Oh look, a bee!

Only required for the very high bit in Nite Club by The Specials, RB. 😄

I've found exactly what @nilebodgers says r.e. the one Chinese neck I bought. The whole thing is oversize, but if you did buy one RB, a woodworking man such as yourself may be able to slim the whole thing down by a mm or two? I found the extended heel that Nile also mentioned, is a hurdle to playing chords or whatnot on the high frets. Here is a pic of the behemoth, next to a more normal neck: I sanded the heel end to fit in the body, but if all the Chinese necks are like this, as I said, in my view it's oversize by a fair bit in every dimension. 👍
