My thought was that it would be a great bass to drop an unusual pickup in. A shame it's short scale.

What are you listening to right now?

High Tide in memory of Simon House. Hawkwind, Bowie and much besides. -

Their guild-style semi is really nice looking.

I used a 16" skin for a 10" ring, it was only a couple of quid extra. Made it easy to pull tight. Got it way tighter than the old banjo mandolin I did about 40 years ago!

I'm definitely out. I've dropped a fortune on a boutique bass. OK, actually it's a dirt cheap Kay Gremlin the owner wants to go to a loving home... it can be mates with my Kay Tulip.
-
I am sorely tempted... I have a Kay Tulip and my first electric guitar was a Kay K-2T that I still have. I'll sleep on it. -
Cheap but good looking basses from gear4music. Nothing new about the configuration but nice new shapes. Short scale 30". Has anyone actually seen one in the flesh. About £200 a pop, could be worth upgrading?

If it was me... Sherwood Green, but follow path your own, must you.

I assume the mistake is it slides up to E where in the rest of the song it's F?

That's lovely. The AVII 60s P is 1960. Differences AFAICS: Tighter fingerboard radius (7.5"), marginally narrower nut (by 0.5mm), 4-ply pickguard with steel backplate, 1960 pickups. Aldo reverse tuners, not sure if thec63 has those. -
Time is Tight. Easy enough except the riff isn't quite what I thought it was and I keep reverting.
-
I was struck by the plagiarism accusations... the modern slavery element became apparent later.
-
I would guess you want cardioid (to get the full sound including any fingerboard slapping and in case they move around a bit), not supercardioid unless they are rooted to the spot or the mic can be well back (unlikely). So the SM58 Beta would be out. Other than that, I don't know enough to help. A vanilla SM58 would do it well enough even if there are better options.

Aren't they just inversions of each other?
-
We dropped it because the singer felt he couldn't nail the phrasing. In my view, when it's like that, it means it's improvisational and the singer can do what he bloody well likes... it's what I do with basslines full of random noodles!

I'll try just out of curiosity. String ageing is fascinating. Anyone who has rattled inside a piano will know ancient, dust encrusted strings csn still sound harmonically rich. The strings we use are not going beyond their elastic limits and metal fatigue ought not to be an issue. Is it really the chemicals or just dirt from our skin that is changing the tone? The effects of string coatings suggest it may be.
