The danish oil is going on nicely on my jazz bass body.
 
Hours practice today as usual. Had 3 or 4 goes at Sultans of Swing. John Illsley is an infernally difficult bassist to emulate.
Yup, nothing complex, just quite a unique style.
Similarly, listen to early James Taylor to hear the smooth, sometimes surprising lines of Leland Sklar. Does great stuff live with Phil Collins and Toto, and, to top it off, is a really nice guy.

A few more days to harden then I'll rub down and polish. Scratchplate due to arrive tomorrow, which is jolly exciting.

It is all evenly coloured, just the flash highlighted one corner and made it appear lighter.
 
Me and Lee! Just found this pic, taken at the South Devon Arts Centre in Totnes in early 2015. Despite the name, it's a shed on an industrial estate...

The gig was on a Judith Owen tour, and was probably the least salubrious venue any of them had played in decades!

Going for Entwisle pickups on the Jazz build. General feeling is that they're exemplary performers for a bargain price, and you need so spend Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio money to really better them.
