Crusoe

Umm, interesting introduction, but welcome. 😄

Hofner violin bass? Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet bass? 30" and 30.3" scales respectively.

Not all lyrics have meaning, though. Kurt Cobain said that a lot of his lyrics didn't mean anything. He liked the way the words sounded. Lou Reed did the same thing with The Black Angel's Death Song.

The thing is, the original version did have more lyrics. 2 unlimited were Dutch. They had to dumb it down for the UK market.

"Should I buy three more basses?" What a bloody stupid question. 😄

I want to go and see @lozkerr and @Cat Burritos' bands on the same bill!

What subject were you teaching? 😂

Is there not something about thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his bass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's?

I got rid of some Jehovah's Witnesses once by correcting this when they quoted it at me. They must have thought that i possibly knew more about the bible than they did. 😄

Welcome Gibson Guy

Why does she have a tuning fork painted on her forehead?

Have you ever considered paying a woman to whip you, like normal masochists do? 😄 Good job on the bass!

Welcome!

Any song by the Smiths, though if your guitarist is really poor he might struggle with Johnny Marr guitar lines.

If you are going to go down the trailer route, I would make sure it's one of the four-wheeled ones. I have a two wheeled one for shopping and it's not the most stable, especially when empty (it can tip over if I hit a bum ). Maybe put some thick foam in the bottom to act as a shock absorber.

You have to ignore the top line or it will sound wrong. 😂

Heathen!

Headless basses. No matter what the body shape.

The Threadlock should do the trick, but I was wondering if plumber's tape (PTFE tape) would work.

I never took music classes in school very seriously, though I was in the school choir and ended up playing the lead in the school musical, in sixth form. I probably never looked at it as a serious academic subject, compared to the likes of Maths, English or the sciences. I think quite a few people in the class were of a similar mindset and it was only the ones who went on to choose the subject for GCSE who took it seriously.

A Fleetwood Mac tribute band called Big Love. They weren't bad, though some of their intros were interesting - one song started and we thought it was going to be "Common People" by Pulp. The drummer looked like he could have been Mick Fleetwood's dad. It was a fun night.

I've been learning guitar (sue me), so I've been watching channels like Anyone Can Play Guitar - really good tutorials and covers a range of styles, like jazz, blues, indie, punk, rockabilly, reggae... Justin Guitar is very good too. he covers a lot of theory as well as songs.

I'm very sorry to hear it @Gasman My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Sorry, the engineer what now? 😳

At 9 years old, that just makes it worse! 😲😳
