  1. By a Harley Bento J-bass kit, finish the neck yourself and either put the rest in a bits box or sell it cheap.
  2. Whilst not being a fan of @ClassicVibes overly confrontational style, he does have a point, there's little purpose in advertising gigs in the USA on here Err... I think that misses the point of this thread completely
  3. At least no dog-themed reheated jazz-funk.
  4. Handy for muting the E-string but when playing with stretches/little finger the thumb goes round the back. Mostly when chugging along straight eights
  5. I'm guesing that it is, literally, two basses joined together rather than a single piece body?
  6. Always check CPC as well as Farnell - same group, but CPC is focused on smaller customers so their MOQ is often lower and their prices for small quantities are often better.
  7. My bandmates always seem to be surprised I'm a bass player...
  8. You really don't want to use your feet on that pink thing...
  9. Due to the shared body it's actually root 2 basses, about 1.41...
  10. Sounds like a 'korea - limiting decision'...
  11. They could tabulate ALL the rules for all four nations in a consistent format. I wanted to check the international quarantine rules and had to do it by visiting one page and then two more to get the changes. They did put up a single page guide - after I and others complained.
  12. Have another: 8 (It's your fault, your monitor is sideways...)
  13. No, that's please give me the bass that looks like an origami giraffe after it's been trampled by an elephant.
  14. I had to fight to do chemistry, physics and biology at A-level! As 2 or 3 of us wanted it they let us do it. This was in a huge school!
  15. I remember my daughter playing me that around the time.
  16. Not helped by the BBC always focusing on the changes or differences and not producing and updating a single, consistent guide.
  17. Papa Was a Rolling Stone - I can still only play it by counting and concentrating very hard 😞
  18. It's well proven that repeating mistakes is bad, always take a break if this happens. Changing something about how you are playing helps too, so try the rhythm on a different melody, speed up or down, play the melody to a different rhythm or play in a different position. These halpcement the bits that stay the same. Also, sleeping on it is good, you may well come back and find it easier because the practice has had a chance to 'fix' in your longer term memory.
  19. Swapping to a different instrument, as long as it is reasonably well set up. Also, my little Orange Crush 25 which always sounds great, while my big amps need more tweaking to get a great sound out of them.
  20. That's Wolver'ampton that is, maybee Darlo. Speak like that in Dudley and they'll send you packing 😉
