That looks great! The thinnest of black plastic veneer on the headstock would complete the look. I confidently expect it to sound good too 👍

I have a nightmare song as the first one for Sunday - Rend Collective's "You are my vision". This is a bastardised version of "Be thou my vision", and it's in 4/4. After 50+ years of singing this as a hymn in 3/4 it is doing my nut! Basically I'm OK provided I don't listen to the words - as soon as I do that I start playing waltz time... We're also doing "How deep the fathers love", by Stuart Townend. That's in 5/4 except for a few bars in 3/4, and is trivial by comparison. Fortunately we have a fab drummer! 😄

Thou shalt not murder. See also Thou shalt not envy thy neighbour's pedalboard, nor his fretless bass. 😁

This is the last one, as I really do need to practice for Sunday 😁 We need a list of who's going and on what day, similar to the attendees for a Bash

Especially for @Jackroadkill:

Quick starter ideas for badges, let me know what you think. I've got some ideas for (slightly corny) slogans as well. These will print fine at the right size for a typical lanyard, so I'll create a PDF with all the final variants on and upload it. @ped - I may have asked this before. Is the BassChat logo in a particular font?
-
What are you listening to right now?

A nice antidote to dealing with frustrating device driver issues this morning. 😎 -
I don't know which day I'll be going, and probably won't until Friday evening. I've got things on both mornings. If I remember I'll wear my Bass Bash t-shirt, which would cover up the nipple clamps. We could make up some BassChat badges in standard ID size. I have a slowish day today, I'll see what I can design and post a couple of ideas here.

Walshy's died and you're appearing on Strictly??? 😭

I have borrowed an early 1970s Rickenbacker 4000s. It is fabulous, sounds absolutely huge and is light years better than any other Rick I have ever played. This has cured any GAS I had for owning a Rick, because I know the owner would never part with this one and I can't imagine finding another that's this good.

They won't allow fat basslines anyway. (I'll get my coat)

I really enjoyed reading that - and what an excellent finished bass.
-
Welcome aboard!

Brilliant - I'm stealing that! 😁
-
^^^^ Amen to that!

There are a lot of us here who play primarily (or exclusively) in church and it's a tremendous privilege to lead worship, and we do like to celebrate that. If you've read a bit of this thread you'll appreciate that quite often it's also a place to let off steam or ask for advice on "situations." Cahon and organ? I would have done the same as you and just enjoyed singing 😁

Thanks for posting that. More details in that interview than on the BBC.
-
An excellent moto for bass players, as well as for programmers.
-
I feel your pain, I do think modern programming is so much quicker than all the low level stuff I remember. Started programming on a ZX81, so yes I remember when memory was tight, men were real men, programmers were real programmers and small furry creatures from Alpha Centuri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centuri.

Lock-in with the drummer...
-
Welcome aboard! What does an an acoustic guitar sound like through that rig?
-
The Fender is OK, but I definitely prefer @Andyjr1515's bass.
-
Welcome back. I'm off to the build diaries... 🏃♂️

And if @Geek99 is run over by a Maserati test driver while hitchhiking through Italy, disguised as a nun to evade intepol, on the way to make his purchase...? Silly jokes aside - it is a thing of beauty.
