NBD knackered old SB-1

[ped]

Knacker is an archaic term for an old horse, "the knackers yard" (aka dog food factory) was where they sent them when too old to work. Knackered now just means beaten up/old

Yes that’s how it’s used now although I think the original meaning means to be tired from sexual activity, though this might be an urban myth.

Now I’m hoping nobody had sex with my bass

That has the Look for sure! Nice score!

I gotta find out where I can get me some tuner puppets...

 

[ped]

IKEA... well I bought one but as soon as you invite one into the house they bring all their friends

Maybe why it was cheap! I can’t tune it because the raccoon bites me

The first bass in history with rabies?

I've trained the animals on the Smith to keep the bass in tune for me, which is great. But that Racoon is just vile. The only reason I'm using flats is so I don't have to change strings/go near him ever again!

That’s how I like them.

Can you get them to sing the high harmony parts?

Can you get them to sing the high harmony parts?

One step at a time - the frog is desperate to play synths and the fox thinks he's a drummer. I spend more time arguing with my headstock than I do playing bass these days

That there is a player - nothing fussy or prissy about it: that bass exists to WORK.

Just broken in

In Australia there is another meaning. If you are male, the place you are least likely to want to be kicked is the knackers, if you get my drift.
The term does also exist for being worn out as well.

Here’s a pic of it with its sister. It’s just come back from my tech who has fully shielded it with conductive paint and added some more ground points, so it’s whisper quiet now.

And here’s a little jam I just made (ignore the frequent mistakes, I was making it up on the fly and I’m useless)

Damn, this is the coolest. I love the mojo and even the raccoon =0) I'm always on the lookout for a great old beater like this.

See anything different?

Radio knobs.
Simple, yet fitting change.
Really suits that old bass.
