For preparing the enclosure for my latest build, I finally bit the bullet and invested in my first step drill bit, and have used it for the majority of the holes. So much better than plain HSS bits, especially for the bigger holes. Highly recommended if you don't already have one.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night - Sound of Music OST

Sweet F.A. - Sweet

Norwegian Wood - Decca Rejects

Rock the Casbah - Clash

It's even worse if you do it in kilometres.

Just A Little Herb - Aswad

Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith

Oh, and welcome home @BassAdder60

Why not? Maybe people are intetested to see it? I'm not aware of any rule that prevents posting pics of basses that aren't for sale.

Can't we have one thread, just ONE fvcking thread, that doesn't get bogged with snide remarks? Life is sht enough as it is without coming here and having to read aren't-I-clever comments from alleged adults. Pack it up. If you've nothing nice to say, stfu.

When I hung my old Hofner on the wall, I used two gert big cup hooks, one for each strap button. They worked ok because it's such a light instrument. I wouldn't want to try that with my Wal.

To my teenage me: Don't be such a horrid little **** to your parents, they are fabulous people and are doing their best. Cherish them, respect them, above all be their friend. They aren't immortal. Learn to play the piano in the front room. Work harder at school and stop pi55ing about so much. When John Bosley starts pushing you around, put a stop to it immediately. Otherwise he will make 18 months of your life a misery, and when you reach your fifties you will still hate his guts and want to beat him to within an inch of his life. For god's sake talk Mark out of buying that motorbike. He will be killed on it, and it will devastate you. To young bassist me: Learn to read. Yes, slap is great fun and you'll get quite good at it, but it's not the be all and end all. Work on other things too. What you DON'T play is just as important as what you DO play. Learn. To. Read. You will get an opportunity to do session work in London. GRAB IT. Don't faff about indecisively. Buy the pre-EB Stingray you will see advertised for £250. Also, buy as many all-original vintage Fenders as you can, and keep them safe. They will be a great pension plan. Did I say 'learn to read'?

Living In A Box - errm, Living In A Box

IIRC, Mark King borrowed one of these to record 'Love Meeting Love', Level 42's first single.

Look, I've already asked you to stop for the sake of my credit card. Don't make me ban you.

Sloop John B - Beach Boys

Venus in Blue Jeans - Jimmy Clanton

I'll have to get back to you on that. Counting up to 4 has never been my strong point.

Nice Legs, Shame About The Face - The Monks

Thief in the Night - Young Thug 'Agane' surely?

Why choose Nicky Wire of all people?

Now that would make a very interesting A/B test.

One of @Jabba_the_gut's tiny-weeny-sized-but-sounding-absolutely-huge basses might work? They have to be heard to be believed and weigh about as much as a well-fed sparrow. Very, very best of luck with it all. Everything's crossed.
