Steely Dan, due to confusing them at the time with Steeleye Span.

The filthy hippies. ::spits on floor::

*except short scale.

I always fear and respect Stingray players.

They don't fu^k about.

And I've never noticed a quiet D string, though it would be a deal breaker for me.

Gotta have even levels across those strings...

You can't compare the tw@ in the OP with Paul Simenon. 😗

Have they ever thought of doing covers?

Not a fan, to be honest.

I dunno, Daddy. I've never mastered anything in my life.

I linked to Warren Huart as he is a pucker producer / engineer and mix engineer.

And if you have a look, he interviews some top mastering engineers on his YT channel.

Have you seen this guy's videos 👍?

My Mrs doesn't know which part is the bass, even if I play it right in front of her!

That email reads like it was written by an idiot.

I used to play in a ceilidh band with two Morris dancers, so it appears I am now in your bad books.

'Used to' because the Morris twins stole your bass, propositioned your girlfriend then drove back to Tunbridge Wells in your car?

We all live and learn my friend. 👍

But I’d pay up to three groat to see Bruce Springsteen performing a medley of Focus tunes dressed as a Morris dancer.

He would be the horse's head Sir.

I hate Springsteen, all Prog Rock and anybody - however distantly - connected to Morris dancing.

Like bouncing a satsuma on a cheap plastic racquet out of a cheap 'Tennis Set' from Woolworths .

In other words - not plugged in at the moment.

How good are the Bass Centre bases? Asking for a friend...

I'd say they feel very solid and seem decent quality for the price point, if a little uninspiring... I bought a lefty Jive bass with the Babicz bridge for my lefty son.

One day he'll forget about it, and I could end up with 'borrowing' the bridge and lefty neck to put on a righty P body, for me!

That would be so cool...

- Carol?

So Babicz isn't babic-zee? 🤦

the awfulness that are/were pitchpipes. 

Those, and trying to play along with certain records that were out of tune for one reason or another.

Yes, I'm looking at you, UB40 - Signing Off...

Ian Dury. 👍

Carry paracetamol. 👍

And Superglue.

There are lots of things that are great about it, but it is a design based entirely on economy rather than strength.

Aye. According to Carol Kaye, soon as the Fender bass came out in the 1950s, pros were shimming the neck pocket to taste. 👍

Does Tommy count?

You forgot “how many basses is too many?” and “help, my SO has spotted the new bass… WTF should I do?”

I would pretend to be somebody else, probably from Poland.
