Nope, can't go for that, no can do.... Jokin'... I likes a bit of 10cc... Steely Dan... (Any one seen my) Camel...

Playing bass with lost finger?.. Look for finger, and be more careful where you leave it in future... i have an old mug that i use for my keys, loose change, loose fingers etc...

Woofers and tweeters....

@Niko... How simple and elegant it would be if Fender patented and used the 'Strat Boat Jack' for all its guitars and basses? Edge Sockets are an derrière when sitting on the sofa.

Peter Gunn - Duane Eddie/Art of Noise

Can't beat a bit of Screw Fix No Nonsense Danish Oil... Although your results and vastly better than mine...

Classy...

Time travel bass... If it was pre CBS... how would it know that CBS would be tacking over... See, I'm clever! Front Decal may be OK, but he didn't think it thru... And the strings are missing...

@JGTay Love the fretboard... waiting for the next instalment...

The whole 9 yards... or whatever the scale length is...

And stay away from the DOI... you'll lose your mind!.. Welcome!

Dirty Deads (Done Dirt Cheap) - AC/DC

Liverpool Dogger - Stan Collimore...

Wire or link the pup hot direct to the socket ...By pass the controls? Fingers crossed its a pot and not pup...

As you say could be the heat has got to 8t, maybe expanded the pot, no longer making contact... and not the pickup windings? Both Passive i presume not the heat got to a battery. Move em away... bit of luck and fingers crossed all will be fine later... mine are in a rack by the patio window, curtain drawn, not a lot else can be done, no more room...

Got a multimeter? Stick a lead in and measure continuity and/or resistance between tip n sleeve. Does it change when ya turn the vol pot...

More than a Filling - Boston

Tikka Chance on Me - ABBA

Ram-a Lamb-a Ding Dong - The Edsels...

Not a Bass Solo (Or Drum Solo) Fan. A nice Flourish of a Middle 8 is a lot more reserved and stylish.. I'm thinking Burke Shelly or Lemmy...

where are you bass-ed! If ya a little uncomfortable going in to a music shop and giving one a go, i'm sure there is a basschatter local who will lend a hand(!) If ya local to me (Orpington/Bromley) I'd be happy to pop by with a bass for you to have a try... Unfortunatly it does mean you will have to miss out on the Heavy Metal Horns 'm' hand gesture when playing open strings... So will have to do with the middle finger or wombler sign, like driving... - WOMBLER Ha Ha ...

Wonder if there is a similar post on BanjoChat... I only have the 10 normal fingers... recommend me a Banjo...

I'd go Right Handed as the 'Motor Factor' of being right handed must be easier than getting the other hand to do as its told... You could go Short Scale 28.6" - rather than the std 34" (Check oiut the 'Short Scale' Thread) to reduce the stretch on the left at the lower end... Ibanex Mikro? or any of the Shorty P's Squier or Harley Benton etc... But If you got fair normal size mits a std 34" scale might be fine... just move about a bit more... One Finger Per Fret may be OK for Guitar and a Pinky needed Full Std Chords... but i can't do it down the bottom end... and some times ya pinky may not have enough ooomph to hold the thick strings when learning... But a Bass is for 'Free Thinkers' anyway! You have prolly worked around the issue with other things... Just jump in and go for it!
