  1. As I seem to be virtually incapable of identifying anything I'll throw another easy on into the mix. Soundcloud auto-tagged this as #Funk #JazzFunk
  2. Yes, but so do 'bookend' headstock shapes - do Gibson care?
  3. A human chameleon - another two minutes and you'll completely disappear into the wallpaper.
  4. Only in my fingers. The bass is a Fender Performer. 🙂
  5. 97% of all folk songs are about death or deflowering to start with...
  6. Yes, the edit only got one, the post's still showing signs of post-void dribbling.
  7. In '66 Bigsby sold the company to the ex-president of Gibson. In '99 it was sold to Gretsch. Fender bought Bigsby in '19. So... Fender won't worry about the headstock design, but perhaps Gibson my be shaping up for a battle with the big boys if they decide to make a big fuss around the 'LP' shape...
  8. Err.. look carefully at what you wrote: I think you may have a sticky 'L' key... 🙂
  9. I'd assumed they were just cheap crap because of the low price and cheesy name. I shoudl know better than to assume!
  10. My brother sent Gibson a video of his LP Junior with robot tuners self-removing one of it's strings mid-song.
  11. Yep, Golden Virginia tin... that's an earing, I used to have my ear pierced but it's grown over 😞
  12. Read the strange sign behind the bass player...
  13. My plectral stash, the box is early 80's. I've seen some lovely ones covered in matches (used to be a reliable sign of an old lag), plus those with the logo scraped to read 'COLD VIRGIN'.
  14. About 40 years old (it not me) and I still can't play it properly... my first electric is older but you said no guitars!
  15. Noooo! Give you address. I need to come around and remove the film top satisfy my obsession with peeling protective film.
  16. Wouldn't it make sense to use a waterproof adhesive under such circumstances...
  17. One of those as a bass...  Not far off in 187, see below...
  18. Nah, I'm 6'2" but it's still bigger than a guitar. Does Leslie West worry about looking silly playing a little six-string? - Possibly...
  19. I doubt this will keep anyone foxed for long...
  20. Nope 🙂 None of my others sound like that.
  21. Our drummer takes the fosters out of me for always turn up to practice with a different bass (OK I rotate through five, but I like the way each feels and sounds different). I still haven't had the guts to turn up with my 5-string.
  22. Go on then, or I've got a dead easy one...
