Git! I hope it bites you back!

Hiya Danny Have you ever thought about where the wood comes from for instruments? Not really previously, but I probably would nowadays. If a wood looks amazing but came from an unethical source, would it bother you? Yes - if it was a new bass, I wouldn't buy it. If it was 10+ tears, I would. Would you buy an instrument from a company that refuses to use a certain timber? Yes. How important do you think the wood is to the overall sound of a bass (i realise there may be many, many discussions about this on here but can we keep it specific to exotic timbers vs native european timbers?) Moderately. It's all in the fingers though! ( ) Do you like decorative timbers, or prefer a more simple aesthetic? It depends on the particular finish, shape of body, number of strings etc. Good luck with your business!

Nice!

I do the same as you - I anchor off the split pup 'lug' on P / PJ basses. On the jazz, my thumb rests on the bridge pickup, but doesn't seem to slide off. I anchor in the screw 'dint' on my PRS: The only one of my basses I had a problem with was the Gretsch, which felt awkward, so I made a small thumb rest:

So you've specialised in destroying companies then? In your dreams, Skinny! Ps. many happy returns on your century!

Interesting!

Welcome to my world!

Hi BgB

I'm subscribing to 'Laura's Thursday Tips'

I know!!?!?! Who knew! I try and stick to playing everything in the key of 'H' - much simpler!

Ibanez Promethean P20 - 20W practice amp: About £100 from the usual (Amazon, Gear for Music, Andertons etc.). I didn't realise how much I loved mine 'til I broke it (I didn't like to make a fuss... It's now mended and sounds better than ever )

Nothing to see here - please go about your business as normal.

Hiya CW! Are you by any chance related to a guitarist in the South Manchester area? Welcome - you'll fit right in on BC! Any views on Rickenbacker / P vs J / 5+ strings / flat vs rounds etc.?

Calling @Silvia Bluejay...

B*stards! Hope you get everything back. Will share on FB.
