Count Bassy

It's not wrong, it's different. Unless you are trying to be a Black Crows Tribute, and even then I'm not sure that it matters much. If the whole band play it "Perfectly" as per the CD then you might as well stick the CD on.

I'm very strict about changing strings: Every 15 years, whether they need it or not.

They're a singer. What else did you expect?

AU contraire; He always spoke very highly of you.

I experimented with an adjustable nut on my basses, but only to the extent of pushing a bit of galvalized wire under the strings next to the nut, so that it could be slid/angled as required. Made a real difference to the intonation at the low end (bottom 3 or 4 frets), and after setting the intonation at the bridge has negligible affect elsewhere. Didn't do anything permanent as I assumed that the required position would change with the strings fitted. In princible a good idea.

Animal is my favourite too*, what an attitude! * Apart from my son of course.

Thanks for all the clarifications folks.

From memory; the sleeve notes gave the impression that he had written it, rather than arranged a traditional song.

Deleted. Attempt at a joke that didn't work.

Carlsbro are still going! https://www.carlsbro.com/

However, use with care. These things are very hard and can snap quite easily the smaller ones. If it snaps off in the screw then you have a pice of hard steel down the hole that will not drill out! Try is in conjuction with some heat from a soldering iron.

Is Scott morphing into Gary Lineker?

Or you could just learn the songs.................... Ducking rapidly.

Bilbo, only just noticed that you are back in circulation on Basschat. Good to see you back, though I still miss the carrots!

Shame it's in Japan, I would have liked to have it to offer as a house bass at the next open mike.

Saw Roger Daltrey with his band (Not the Who) at the Birminham Symphony Hall last year sometime. Still an excellent voice and excellent show, IMHO.

Not in my experience. The open mic that I go to is every other Thursday. Every other other Thursday is a jam session, and is totally different.

And he'd rip all your frets out!

and the Val Doonican .... Val Doneagain

I'm a bit like that, but there has to be an X in the month.

I was suprised whan I found out peoples nerves don't always follow the same route. In the situation we are talking about here that nerve sometimes goes round on the outside of the elbow, and in other people can go on the inside of the elbow.

I've never had it diagnosed, but I suspect that I have this. Mainly if I've been doing a lot of DIY sort of stuff. never had it after playing bass though.

Stylophones ??😄

Indeed. A bit like getting "a result".

All basses, but especially 5 strings, should have graded ratios on the tuners. Ie the lower the note the higher the tuner ratio. It would make tuning those low notes a lot easier. Much less "'Shit, too far', start again"
