  1. I'm gonna us an FOI request
  2. A couple of more things have sold this morning Unbranded maple fretless Precision neck Black Precision body Wizard Thumper PUP
  3. I understood @ped was reconfiguring the site as pickguardchat.co.uk as there has been significantly more discussion of that topic than almost all others recently (although freedomfromamplifierschat.co.uk is also under consideration) 👍
  4. ........crikey 🤔
  5. Is there a level of BC membership we can attain that gives us full access to all the hidden stuff
  6. Quote of the day 👍
  7. Made my day, thanks @Alanko 👍
  8. ...where did I hear the estimate that there are three times as many vintage Gibson guitars in circulation as were actually made? Probably an urban myth but it would be naive inb the extreme to think that given the dollars involved, and unlike the art world (e.g., a fake Mona Lisa), the deniability, that there aren't more than a few people making and selling fake passed off as legit
  9. I think we need to form a support group All joking aside, many thanks, I'll bee keeping a very keen eye, I really do need to get started on mine and your thread is just the catalyst I needed 🙏
  10. … this is why Fender stamp their reissues as such and very clearly so
  11. Agree 100%, I think we need to know who this is, whether they know what they’re doing or not in terms of the mechanics, they certainly know what they’re doing in terms of the potential for current or future fraud
  12. Very nice work @BigRedX, actually does take me straight back to 1984 👍
  13. Very happy to post to UK for £10, bank transfer is my preferred option, please see my feedback below if that worries you Thanks Chris
  14. Great thread, I'll be watching keenly as I have a similar project here, albeit one that's on ice
  15. Read some of @joel406 other posts last night, seems he only has one thing to say, but boy he really does like saying it 😒
  16. You're gonna need a Badass on there Andy
  17. On topic I just found this….. Bought the neck on eBay where it was advertised as ‘luthier built’; I suspect it was one of the new Chinese CNC luthiers, but it’s playable and stable. I got the body from BC. Pocket is not standard Fender length (width and depth are fine) so for the dots to line up with the notes you need to have a bridge with decently long intonation screws or mount the bridge a little closer to the PUP. Or do what I did and play by ear! This is NOT Warmoth quality, but is a decent intro to fretless and looks f***ing cool built up. £100 as is or £150 as a bass with Squier PUP, circuit, and tuners and generic BBOT bridge. I’d digout a pickguard also 👍
  18. It is intelligent in the same way humans are intelligent, that is it has the means ('senses') to interact with information and the inherent capacity to restructure what it has sensed ('learn') on the basis of new information. Re sentient, see above, it's probably going to become a semantic as opposed to technical debate as time goes on
  19. Funny old thing, I always go on gut instinct when I look at a bass, and while I can't tell you why, as far as my gut is concerned the neck says no. No help at all in real terms Brian 🤔
  20. Yep, similarly lend your bass to the singer/guitarist/drummist when they 'need to write some bass parts for the song they're working on' (because you're not trusted to do that), and you'll see authentic wear within days 👍
  21. Hi yes it's all working, feel free to message me 👍
  22. Agreed, but while it's easy to see the problem with generative processes, predictive AI still has huge limitations, many of which are being overlooked
  23. Thanks for saying what I held back from saying earlier
