The Bassist and Guitarist thread

Maybe your right ear could instruct your hand to change channels, or even to turn it off? I haven't listened to the radio for years!

i used to be forced to listen to Radio1 at work... it was torturous. No wonder so many people have a sh!t taste in music if that's the station most people listen to

The last time I listened to Radio One was the day before I moved from BBC radio to BBC TV - and that was in 1982. It was only on because the other people in the office insisted.

It could be worse...

I did a factory night shift for a year and one of my co-workers insisted on playing the entire Bat Out Of Hell album 3 times a night on his huge portable stereo. Meatloaf may tell you that '2 out of 3 aint bad', but played loud in the middle of the night over 600 times I can assure you that it bloody well IS!

Really struggling to find anything to keep me occupied, so I've stripped the jazz bass for a repaint. That'll keep me busy off and on for a week or so.

I keep busy playing the damn things - 3 hours at least per day. No time for painting them!

 

[Drago]

Aye, a good couple of ours a day here at the moment.

Done three hours this morning already! The joy of a day off and the dog waking me up at 4:00 am.

JB stripped, body rubbed down. I'm going for a very light relic look, I want careworn rather than roadworn, or full on archaeological find that some folk go for. PUP covers, tuners and neck plate rubbed down with 2000 grit and soaked in a mixture of salt and vinegar, which has give a light age. Scratchplate next.

What do you guys recommend cleaning a guitar body with... specifically a satin finish monogamy one?

[Drago]
