    You know the old saw that bass players are failed guitarists? Only the ones who use a pick 😉

    Born Under a Bad Sign, Albert King. Duck Dunn... he plays all these now clichéd bass riffs, except he doesn't, he adds in little things that most people don't.

    Yes you can screw it right out, but when it is actually doing anything it only has one position.

    That could be part of the problem... I've got a Fender Jazz with a heel-end adjuster and it doesn't move in and out. It stays level with the end of the neck. Ditto for a guitar I have with one.

    On all the truss rods I have seen, the nut doesn't move in and out, it's the rod that gets pulled by it (or pushed and pulled if double acting).

    Carole King in concert on Sty Arts.

    Both very nice, but I'm glad I went for Green 🙂 Compared to T-bird I'd say Bridge pup is in the same place, neck pup noticeably closer to the neck.

    PMT have a black one. I went for the green, it just looks gorgeous and so of its time. My brother bought one of these on saturday. Really nice and lovely 'worn' (not relic) finish. Epiphone 'Gold Glory' Jared James Nichols sig. Epiphone really are making great guitars, this is a combo Gibson never made.

    Do they put sesame seeds in baby oil?! It's just that they use sesame oil to make tiger bread stripey 🙂 I think you need to revisit the 7th fret, as a minimum 🙂

    I hope so! I ordered one a few weeks ago but it won't come until end November/early december (fingers crossed!)

    Kid Creole and the Coconuts?

    I thought it might be tiger wood. Did you use sesame oil?

    John Mayall's Blues Breakers feat. Eric Clapton.

    I found some bass parts. I think they must be off a Bongo.

    Tried an Epiphone EB0 yesterday. Good sound and looked good for a £218 bass, but felt 'toy like' in a way that the Jaguar doesn't.

    "Have you ever heard a guitarist say he changed the tubes on his amplifier annd it made it sound worse?" Spot on.

    Short clip of our gig last night 🙂 Turn up da bass!

    Strategically placed polyfilla?

    My brother received a mystery envelope yesterday. Rang me up, I told him to open it - three Phil Campbell tickets! I must have ordered them whilst at his house in 2019, dog-sitting for a week, foolishly expecting them to arrive a few days later!

    There is one question I have never been able to get an answer to. Why are all the best 'tonewoods' rare, exotically figured and expensive?* *Yes I know I'm currently finishing a replacement body made of ash with a quilted maple front, but that's because it looks nice, not because I expect it to sound better...
  23. Stub Mandrel
    Why? Because it's impossible to hear objectively when you know what you are supposed to hear. I read a review of a whisky that said it had a 'burnt rubber' nose. It wasn't until after several tastings that I realised that it didn't.

    I know this is highly subjective, but I saw two of these in the flesh today. Vox Starstream, seems to take all its style cues from a Musicman Bongo, but manages to look even stranger. It's the stumpy little legs that make it look comical instead of just ill-conceived.

    I don’t think that’s what you meant because a bad bass player can definitely make a great bass sound like a noisy toad, I should know… 😩 Trapped by my own double negative
