  1. I'm guessing the angled hole in the girst two pictures.
  2. Remove extraneous and unpleasant zits/points from all G&L and Alembic basses.
  3. Certainly good for a laugh! Satins Pores (which I read as Satan's Pores..) would make an interesting pairing with Bitch Biblist. I can anticipate some controversial combinations, rearranging some of the examples I was given! Perhaps remove the odd word from the list (e.g. 'migrant' could get paired with various words to upset people on all shades of the political spectrum!) Finally, "Greek Ajax" - quite an accurate pairing!
  4. I got it as "no-one ever got fired for singing into an SM58". The proper singists in my other bands show me their Sennheisers etc. and point out I could have bought a better mic for less 😞
  5. The easiest Band Name Generator is for Southern Rock. The basic algorithm is "Black" + <noun>.
  6. I trust this bass will come to the South West Bass Bash? I wanna go of it!
  7. That's what I figured. "Half a step below E 41.2Hz", 😂😂😂
  8. I was curious what frequency low F# is. Google's AI got VERY confused, apparently F# is half a step below E.
  9. Let joy be unconfined!
  10. From last night. My gloriously scrappy technique... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1GvQLRgHdF/
  11. Worth a punt then. Thanks.
  12. More accurately, its high tannin content will cause any plain steel fixings to rust. Brass is usually preferred but you csn use stainless steel. A4 is apparently better than A2 after a quick google.
  13. Aluminium alloys generally age harden on a scale of time from hours to years. With the added stresses of being attached to a voice coil, stress cracking in anything thin enough to be practical is always going yo be a possibility.
  14. That's a cosmetic treatment, unrelated to the real thing except in looks. My point!
  15. I sometimes do this to play to a recording.
  16. This even for me!
  17. Well singles wise for Ringo...
  18. Bendricks Rock played Slipping Jimmy's in Newport last night. It was already busy due to rugby and got busier. Proper stage, which is cool for a pub. Dancing pretty much fom the off. The even danced to What Is and What Should Never Be. A bit of excitement at the end with a punter getting ejected, then mord drama outside while we were loading out. New Quecha hiking shoes with my orthopedic inserts, but my dodgy ankle was angry by the end.
  19. From the diagram, each pickup's hot should short to ground at minimum volume. So if a signal still 'leaks' the pot is dodgy.
  20. Some fun designs nicely finished! Here's two I abused decades ago. Not as well executed. The B2 is now finished in stone effect. The ancient Jay was my first electric, bought just as Running Free hit the charts.
  21. Do you think that would fit a Jaguar SS? They are a bit wider, I think.
  22. When I've been complemented on my tone by other bass players or pro sound people, it's often when I've been playing cheap basses. Festival soundman: "You sounded just like Jack Bruce" - Epiphone Embassy. Fellow bassist: "Your Musicman sounds amazing" - Harley Benton with £40 Wilkinson pickup. Recording engineer: "Use your headless not the Fender, it sounds way better" - Hohner B2.
