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.

Worth going out for. 👍

Well that's told me! 😂

Just spotted these on the recycling thread.

Welcome aboard!

That is a very cool looking bass. Hopefully it's all electrically OK and you can do a sympathetic restoration. I'm really interested in how this turn out.

Utterly daft. I liked it a lot. 😁 And by way of searching about the group I came across the wonderful term "plunderphonics".

Can you post photos? The cab and the intended new handles? Offhand I can't see why you shouldn't just be able to change the side handle on a cab, but I am probably missing something.

I have an HB MusicMan 5 string copy. I got it free, and soley to put a Roland hex pickup on it as an experiment. But much to my surprise it's really good to play, and sounds great as it is. I'd recommend an HB to anyone.

Because they're having to compensate for not being bassists.

Good luck!

Coooool, baby! 😎 And remember- Jaco only needed 4ºC
