    One day, many decades ago, in maybe 1980, I was walking down the street wearing a grey trilby. A man stopped me and said 'Why did you buy a hat like that when instead you could have spent your money on drugs?'

    Never have and not expecting to do so very soon.

    Fela Kuti ought to be in any Hall of Fame.

    ... and neither are rock and roll!

    Most people don't even know it's a bass guitar. Anything with strings my father called a banjo and anything you blew into he called a trumpet.

    Surely the question ought to be: 'Am I good enough to play a cheap piece of sh!t and still sound great?'

    Scale length = 2 times the distance from fingerboard side of nut (or centre of zero fret) to centre of twelfth fret. Distance of bridge saddles from nut (or zero fret) will vary slightly from scale length (as given above) due to differential of intonation on each string.

    Very nice, but I say keep the tort.

    More what you might expect and very nice too:

    Very nice

    Whatever small difference one might possibly detect, it would be unnoticeable in a band situation.

    "Payment: Cash" I don't think so.

    As well as their own material, Lake Street Dive are very good at other people's songs.

    The only time I have needed to 're-nut' is when I tuned a bass BEAD with a 125 B string.

    Fender Precision, LaBella 760FL strings, foam. NS WAV4 EUB, can't remember what strings. Both straight DI. One overdub on Lakland Skyline Decade, GHS Precision Flats, no foam, also DI'ed

    Very nice.

    Wouldn't 'My Love' be Denny Laine on bass and McCartney on piano? As for out of tune, I'll have to listen to it. EDIT: The studio version does sound dodgy.

    Jimmy $avile tribute?
  23. EssentialTension
    Gold lamé?

    John Lennon, another very effective rhythm player. Also Nile Rogers
  25. EssentialTension
    Clarinet and/or tuba.
