My pleasure. Have fun with it.

Can I ask what colour the pink lacquer is, please, and where you found it?

https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/taylor-austin-dye-rest-in-peace-tab-s2078862t1/r2763330?open=editor Right, have a try with that...!

Hang fire; having another try.

That's a beautiful moment.

What a coincidence, eh?!

Liberace's nan?

https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/taylor-austin-dye-rest-in-peace-tab-s2071831t2/r2754229?open=editor I can't vouch for accuracy, but give this a try.

Don't be silly; how would he have operated the loud pedal with a wooden leg?

@solo4652 I might be able to help.... Let me see what I can do.

I dated Liberace and made him dress up as your nan.

I'm 1m80cm, c.90kg with broad shoulders. I play a P, and I look ridiculous, too. In all honesty I don't think the P has much to do with the ridiculousness, in my case!

That's really tough; I hope you can bring it to an amicable end.

We could blooming well do with some now; the farm is really struggling for water at the moment.

Some very useable sounds there, Neep. I like.

Bloomin' fabulous! What does it sound like?

People who say "pacifically" rather than "specifically".

Is that a young Jez Woodroffe (wearing glasses)?

Inside.

Nice work, Neep. You're making great progress on a very cool project, young man.

Singing drummers. Men who don't wear a belt. The word "plane" when substituted for "aircraft" or "aeroplane". Jazz.

Just goes to show that genius isn't always cleanius (or something).

That's going to be a very cool bass.

Just read the thread from the beginning, and it looks like a superb project. I had a cousin of this bass way back in the 1990's, a B Bass V (same instrument but with a headstock and five strings) and 17-year old me loved it. I'll be very interested to see the project coming to fruition, and it looks like you know your eggs around a piece of wood!

You know, everyone, I absolutely adore reading through this thread. Seeing how everyone goes about gigging in their different ways, with so many different bands and styles on offer; I even enjoy the reports of gig by bands who play genres that I wouldn't play myself, because there's always something to be learned. Seeing what you lot get up to at your gigs is a real highlight of my (usually) weekend, and I wish I was out there gigging again. Thanks very much for sharing your experiences with the rest of us!
