    There was what I think is sensible advice on the radio this morning. If in doubt ask yourself 2 questions. If I got stopped by the police could I justify my journey? If I picked up the virus, could I pass it on to anyone who is vulnerable?

    Yes, indeed, that is the bit I actually read that but misread everything else 😂 I thought it was a stock neck, not a brand new neck. Dimwit that I am.

    Question - how do the fret positions work with a 35" scale length?

    Playing with a pick is a complete non-issue. Bassists have been using picks since there were electric basses and many of the most iconic and influential players use(d) a pick.

    Sigh. if only it were a 4 string.

    First time I saw Bonnie Raitt. Her voice, her guitar playing, both used to such devastatingly emotional effect. Never heard anyone play slide guitar like that. The control and subtlety, timing, note choices just blew me away. The way she slowly increased the vibrato in the note, the light and shade. But mainly her singing - it just made me cry. Only during the sad bits, obvs.

    Probably the same sort of places and conditions that everything we all use, every day, comes from. Clothes, electronics - you name it, all cheap labour. I stopped wondering a long time ago 'cos it is a situation that has gone too far to be fixed.

    I reckon I'd like them, too

    That is sooooo nice. Sigh. When you say 'no trades' is that totally set in stone.....?

    Bargain with a capital B. Actually with a capital ARGAIN as well.

    Could a proud owner please weigh one of these? Ta.

    my ex band toyed with the idea of this but we never got round to it in the end:

    Bump to say I now have an Antoria EB-3 But keen to PX for an SKB 44 hard case or a Barefaced One10 with necessary cash adjustments. Or, indeed, £250 including courier to your mainland UK doorstep!

    I've used Essex Amp Repairs a couple of times and, tbh, wasn't that pleased with what they did. I can say the same for some repairs they have recently done on a couple of amps I know of that clearly had faults they were unable or reluctant to spend time identifying. I would unhesitatingly recommend Electronic Music Services They sorted out my Mesa Boogie prodigy 4:88 when it blew a fuse and took half the pcb with it. Cost me an arm and a leg, mind you, but that wasn't their fault. But recently I have become more acquainted with a chap called Leighton Jennings and he is now my go-to guy for everything. He is a one man band working out of his garage, makes guitars and amps, repairs them, top bloke. Also vintage record players! Both are nearer than Witham, too!

    .... bridges, strap pins, sandpaper, masking tape, nice paint finishes.... What a mess!

    Yup. Absolutely beautiful. Moved on a few times since now.

    Maybe I have been very unlucky with Fenders and very lucky with Squiers but I have handled many, many Precision basses and the best three were Squiers. Two of them JVs, one a Fender logo one, the one I have kept (below) a bit later in '82. The other one was a medium scale A series. I have no agenda, no shares in Squier basses, no axe to grind with Fender - I just wanted to keep the ones I liked best. And they were Squiers. I would say to anyone who reckons JV Squiers are ordinary, just pop round here and have a go on this gorgeous thing

    A new craft knife! How exciting. 😄 Be really interested in the weight of this one. Basswood, according to specs?
  20. Paul S
    Extremely good, thanks - you?

    Build Logo

    Paul S replied to HazBeen's topic in Build Diaries

    I think the logo is great. But I look at that and think 'it is a gorilla, not a monkey' Sorry.

    Not sure if this is a good example or not? A damned fine choon, either way
  23. Paul S
    Lost the lid, obvs.

    So that's where my missing jig-saw piece went!

    Couple of pics nicked off t'net, same idea, different approach.
