Welcome aboard! Flatwound strings are easier on the fingers, so my son informs me.

Is that it? Nobody will notice and the rest is superb.

Welcome aboard! As my band leader said a couple of weeks ago when I queried something in the bridge of a song: "Play any note you want, but be on time". If you're already a drummer then you'll nail the groove and that's what we're here for. 🤘

Welcome aboard, and welcome back to the low end. Nothing wrong with playing guitar. But, to paraphrase George Orwell "Six strings good, four strings better" (I mostly play 5, so I'm not sure where that sits. 😁)

He's making light of it, and it is quite incongruous, but incredible skill to play!

These are genuinely good things. When we had the bathroom refitted there was a long time delay between the bathroom being complete and the final flooring being fitted, due to something called "Covid" if I recall. I bought two packs of these to go on the hardboard floor. They are hard-wearing, easy to fit together, and warm underfoot. We rather missed them when the proper flooring went down.

Very nice indeed! +1 for rounding the corner(s) of the control plate. A file will do nicely. The plywood flooring is gorgeous too. 🤩

Welcome aboard! We have a few members in Poland, but there isn't as far as I know an easy way to search on location. Correction- there is a very easy way to search by location! Search for members, and use the Location filter.

That's a proper floor, and you have plasterboard, skirting board, skylight, and it looks like electricity as well. My loft has bare joists, rockwool insulation, dust, and a wasps' nest!

I only knew Judie Tzuke from "The Cat is out", the first CD my wife bought when we bought our first CD player. It's ... tolerable. I played "Road Noise" this morning and, as befits this thread, is infinitely better! Very '80s, but fun.

Welcome aboard!

Another one I forgot: Twelfth Night - Live and Let Live. Never made it into Marillion's league as the vocalist left after three albums to train as a minister (this was his farewell gig at The Marquee). They were a prog band with a hard edge and biting satirical lyrics, as well as musicianship aplenty. Played it in the car for the first time in ages and I was shouting along with the crowd. 😄 Skip the other albums, this is definitive.

It does. I would love to hear what could be done with the tech used for The Beatles to extract the instruments from the mud and remix it. Or better still find the original show tapes and start again.

Welcome aboard!

Buy the bass and I'll give you lessons. If nothing else you will be able to dine out on the comedy for months 😁

@rwillett- Five is easier than four! Which is why I play five.

There's a quote here from Andy: So why on earth would you think it's not good enough to sell as is? Of course the market is very slack and you may find parts easier to sell and get the same total value, but it would be a shame.

Cracking album that!

I too love live albums, a good one crackles with energy. The odd overdub is acceptable if it covers an absolute howler, the idea is to recreate the energy. So with that: The Grateful Dead. Their studio albums are OK, but almost any of the thousands of live recordings is a million times better. 'Wake up to find out" is my current favourite. "Slade Alive", play it loud. "Pulse" is superb, but I love all the Floyd. There is a really good Rockonteurs interview with Scott Gorman of Thin Lizzy where they discussed Live and Dangerous. There are actually very few overdubs on it, but it is a compilation of recordings from different nights. The story about the overdubs grew and was embellished over the years, including by the producers. The 40th anniversary release includes all the recordings from different nights, so you can trace what came from where. Rockonteurs on Spotify

I am also confused. If the analysis was 7b or 4# it would be clear. I don't have time to play it this evening, but it does look fun - thanks. 👍

Welcome aboard! There's more than one blues scale?? 😉

You'll fit right in here! 🤣

Following. 👍 There will be lots of excellent advice on here but for goodness' sake don't take any of mine!!

Welcome aboard! The build diaries forum is fantastic. Start a new thread about your build and asking questions - the local geniuses and wood-whisperers such as @Jabba_the_gut and @Andyjr1515 will then magically appear with sage advice.

Welcome aboard!
