ABOUT BLOODY TIME. But yes, too late for many fine venues. RIP The Point, Cardiff. There are only a few lower forms of life than someone who moves in near an established music venue, knowing full well that it's there, and then complains about it to the extent that it is forced to close. Scumbags. I hope their houses get infestations of mountain-beaver fleas.

Senseless Violins - Sparks

Yep, what they said. Everything that has been suggested above, and just keep at it. At some point it will become second nature. It's the whole 'patting your head and rubbing your tummy' thing.

I Remember UHU - Frank Ifield

Go Away - Living Colour

Couldn't help it in all seriousness though, it is a v.neat idea. I'm normally wireless these days, but I'll try it next time I'm wired.

Very neat. Nice idea. When I use it, I shall be sure to point out that I am using the patented Al Nico 'Cable Restraint At Point' method.

You've got to admit though, getting any sort of tune out of a chimney is pretty impressive.

Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me - Sesame Street

Not many people know this, but I've got a time machine. I've just popped forward to 2029 to see what's going on there. A few things happening: 1. The USA has repealed the Declaration of Independence and is now known as 'Western Surrey'. 2. Joey Essex has just been elevated to the House of Lords. 3. You're buying all your basses back. Seriously though... it's always sad when factors cause one to fall out of love with anything, especially music. I really hope your new project brings you the enjoyment that your current one doesn't. Just don't sell everything.

That would be potentially very interesting. Pickups are one of those areas that are going to be an awful lot more complex than at first sight... "yeah well it's just a magnet with some wire innit?", I doubt that somehow Would it be worth re-approaching these chaps much closer to the time?

Breathless - the Corrs

Hotel Room Cervix - Pitbull

I choose £50 every 18 months for Elixir rounds

Lip Up Farty - Bad Manners

Sew In Love - Ella Fitzgerald

I was wondering who'd be first to spot it. Well done. 😁

My favourite is Micro-timin' With Mr Bloe.

Year started playing: 1982 Number of basses: 10 Music theory: 3 ** Technique: 4 Groove: 8 (** I did give myself a 1 originally, but then I realised that I can follow a chart quite well even if I can't actually read the notes.)

Number of strings: 5 Number of frets: 24 Scale length: 34 Number of pickups: 2 Number of controls (switches/knobs): 9 (6 rotary controls, 3 switches)

Ouch! - The Rutles

ABC - Jackson 5

Without wanting to derail anything, OldGit's Shuker 5-string P was utterly gorgeous. I played a whole gig with it once and the thing was just alive in my hands. When he had it built, there was no such thing as an off-the-peg 5-string P.
