  1. A sensible attitude. They are a much loved animal in the UK, but probably the one with teh greatest offensive capability. And ours live in big families, not like your US loners... They're coming for you Blue...
  2. When I said a reducing (taper) wrap affected intonation they said I was mad! Today I saw this: http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2020/03/17/bass-strings-hit-the-high-notes/
  3. Delusional! Same seller £2,499.99 for a Warwick Streamer? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMMACULATE-TRADES-CONSIDERED-1991-German-Warwick-Streamer-Stage-2-Neck-Through/383412739595 Nice bass but that's probably twice it's value...
  4. IMHO a flat fretboard always looks concave.
  5. Must admit, playing Day Tripper at the 12th fret is a darn site easier with the bass hiked up...
  6. It may be heresy, but I have more than a sneaking suspicion that precisions have gone right out of fashion when no-one was looking. Currently the Jazz reigns, and diversity is the watchword in bassland. The only certainty is change...
  7. I think we encourage M.C. Escher to commission a build...
  8. Well it makes weird noises, but is there anything practical I can do with it?
  9. You can use any 8 ohm cabinet rated for ~ 150Watts plus. The choice of cabinet will affect the tone, a matching Markbass cabinet is likely to have the smallest change in tone.
  10. Presumably they'd have to make a decision for themselves, but I'm sure that's unlikely.
  11. When my farmers strike, this is the only stool softener I need:
  12. It isn't persistent. Unlike the damn tree-pollen sniffle I get every March...
  13. Common sense suggests they won't make an announcement until they are forced to close by a ban on gatherings, so they aren't liable to pay for the venue hire.
  14. Swine! You beat me to it...
  15. You wound your own PUPs didn't you? Did you make sure the magnets in each PUP were opposite polarity? One north up, one north down? Check they are as it is part of the humbucking effect.
  16. >cough<
  17. I'll have you know there's only ONE Big Stubby 'round here.
  18. That's the way all mine went back in the days when I 'played' guitar.
  19. No bass, no Bootsy, in sight but still epic!
  20. They will come together when we have to resort to Izal Medicated, it's rough as a badger's.
