    When I looked at the whole thing you had to wait at least 2 or 3 months aparrently, they stopped selling them to the US at one point as they couldn't make the quantity required.

    Your experiment has established that it doesn't have any adverse effects at all, so I'd take the win and leave it alone as you've achieved what you set out to perfectly by the sounds of it..

    Likely a bit of a grey area, this is 30" scale and envisaged as a Bass Vl, but tuned as above on thinner strings, many of these things kind of "meet in the middle" somewhere.. I liked a long scale 4 string tuned up too btw, though don't have one set up like that now. Conversely I've also got a big bodied acoustic guitar that I've made into a 4 string (narrowed the neck down etc) and tuned down with B being the lowest note, I'd kind of thought of that as a sort of "tenor guitar" but it's likely a bit low tuned for that, plus it's got a full length neck unlike many tenors that are somewhat shorter.

    I have messed with this kind of thing and it's quite interesting, the nearest I've got going at the moment is one of the Bass Vl 's I have, it's tuned to what you'd call A standard, the same relative pitches as a guitar but down A to A so about half way. Works well imho. Wheter this counts or you're just talking 4 bangers?

    Conversely sometimes I've put it down for a bit, and after a break, distinctly got the impression I was better when I picked it up again.. Funny old game innit

    I've actually done PF through P2G (and directly for smaller items as I recall) in the past, but certainly seems far better value going direct, good call 👍

    I've done parcelforce a couple of times recently, delivered on time with no probs ... did you book that online directly with Parcelforce btw?

    Agreed, this merchant sounds like a chancer looking for a bit of easy extra dosh, if you're serious about teaching, you have all the right equipment ready and waiting, including a few different basses for students / potential students to try if needs be. "bring yer own amp".....? a clown imho🤔

    I've always used open strings when it's suited what I'm doing, why ever not?

    I'm not "technical" at all, but I can play as well as I need to for what I do (or have done).. and guess I've always been fairly good at coming up with riffs /grooves/ ideas to build songs or pieces on, or suss out a suitable part for other people's material. I pretty much never "practice" as such but find I can generally put the thing down for some time and then pick it straight up again with no loss. I could never play in an outfit that required reading the dots or similar, then again I wouldn't really want to anyway 😁 I'd say the important part is to provide just what the piece of music requires, no more, no less.

    The resemblance is uncanny isn't it 😂

    It's likely a bit of a lottery but I've had a few things from them that were fairly good, including a 6 string active bass that was imho excellent.

    I've had huge gaps of time in the past doing nothing musical at all, about 20 years in one case. It's something you can put down and pick up again I found. The first gig I did after the long hiatus was an O'Neills type place, pretty packed and went down well, it kind of felt I'd never been away. Nothing wrong with having a break from it, can even give you a new perspective and steer you in other creative directions, but bear in mind you can always jump back in again, you're not necessarily by any means "giving up" ..

    Haven't thought about him for years, he's certainly "unique" I suppose. I actually saw him live in Manchester would've been 1981 if I remember correctly. It was a good gig in fact, somewhat different to what I'd normally have gone to see at the time but good to try other stuff sometimes. The one that for some reason sticks in my mind was "Small change got rained on with his own. 38"...

    There doesn't seem to be the hoopla you used to get trying to spend 50s these days, I've had a few recently and spent them without the person behind the till giving 'em a second glance, generally I've spent them in petrol stations tbh...

    I could never get on with Jazz basses at all for some reason, and I've never kept one every long

    And the suspenders I hope...
  19. Waddo Soqable
    You wouldn't, whoever's at the other end of it might...

    You want one o' them electric shock wand things.. 😲

    Old Stan can't have much worthwhile to say then...

    I've generally defaulted to black, though I got a bass Vl in clownburst as it was 50 squid cheaper.. The Gretsch has a sparkle thing going on in the black though

    Archelogically impossible to differentiate between sheep and goat remains aparrently...

    Hopefully you're wearing the appropriate Julie Andrews tyrolean frock (it is the weekend after all)
