  1. The Bassist's Friend.
  2. For my Tele I went for pur tung oil, which dries really slowly. In the end I have used 'restoration wax' (clone of renaissance wax) to give a satin finish. Can't put it together properly until I dig out and set up my decent soldering station.
  3. He's got the six-string version and is already pushing me... Luckily I'm too far away to try it, although looking at some work in Suffolk in the new year if it doesn't sell...
  4. If my brother saw this, he'd make me buy it. He 's an LP Junior addict.
  5. What age defines 'vintage'? I'm guessing '86 doesn't count?
  6. I've used 90s and 100s. They encourage a delicate touch but I tend towards 105s or even 110s most of the time.
  7. Have you tried winding the mid-control down? I thought it gives a fair representation, if not perfect. Personally, I use my 'classic' TE combo with the pre-shape switched out or playing at the dusty end is mostly inaudible.
  8. Did you sneak a dose of black in first?
  9. That's enough pthalic symbols, Ed.
  10. Why am I not surprised? 🤣
  11. I like the blue/green best by a narrow margin. Those knobs look a bit magenta...
  12. It's my favourite bassline for trying out basses and amps. Covers all the main range and really lets you dig in.
  13. 'Ware the Crimson Tegument!
  14. Merry Xmas everybode has been added to the setlist.
  15. Interesting, I find the g string often sounds 'light'. One of the best things about my flea jazz is that it sounds exceptionally even across the strings.
  16. But they do have distinct diets.
  17. I think you'll find it's the other way around. The physical strength and aggression of males probably follows afrom a role in hunting versus nurturing and child raising. Women probably should be leaders not men. Lets face it, most women leaders in history have been at least reasonably successful
  18. Exactly, and lots of musical signalling, leading into changes etc. If you want to be loose and improvisational it takes a degree of discipline 😉
  19. One of the bands I'm in I was told 'we don't count bars'. Ironically, this seems to make us tighter. But it all dependswhat you're trying to achieve.
  20. Blast from the past! Didn't realise Mitch was on that.
