    Looks like someone over did it when spraying the black.

    I think Peter Sarstedt played bass in his brother's band: Eden Kane [i.e. Richard Sarstedt] & the Downbeats.

    That does appear to me to line up with where the original mutes were screwed into the body.

    I felt it wasn't as poor and indeed was much better than I feared. I enjoyed it more when hearing it with the video. It might not have made the cut for any actual Beatles LP ... except the Anthology, perhaps its true home ... but for the completist it was surely necessary. I guess the technology used here and on Peter Jackson's Get Back film, will be digging up many other goodies from way beyond The Beatles catalogue.

    A 'pony' would have been more exciting as the price and not the name. That's £25 for our cousins across the water.

    I'm unconvinced by string-through, let alone semi-through.

    What is a 'semi-through bridge'?
  21. EssentialTension
    One. Two if really necessary. Three? Nah.

    It seems longer.

    I have Parkinson's disease but I wasn't formally diagnosed until late 2019 when I was approaching sixty-eight. Once I had a formal diagnosis, I gave up gigging (which happened to coincide with the Covid lockdowns). Of course, many of my Parkinson's symptoms predated any formal diagnosis by many years and included coordination of left and right hands and coordination of fingers, particularly on left hand. The difficulties were more noticeable on double bass which I had only taken up playing aged fifty-eight. The song where I first noticed difficulties happened to be Tami Lynn's 'I'm Gonna Run Away From You'; not a difficult song which I had been playing for some years. I do still play at home once a week with a guitarist friend, but I am too unreliable for gigging. On the issue of genetics, my understanding is that while Parkinson's can have a genetic basis it is not necessarily so.

    I appreciate that Basschatters have to post about something .... but really .... when should threads such as this old topic just call it a day?? It's embarrassing when everything has already been said and yet we get the same old topic, on tour again, every few months, or every year at the least .... Please .... It's had its time .... enough is enough. No? 😜

    I expect it's lots of people.
