The Morality SWAT is inbound!

Is this after both James Honeyman Scott and Pete Farndon left the building?

Yes. They both left during 1982. I was looking for a pre-gutting-the-band video, but youtube was not being helpful that way.

Nah, Pete Farndon died in April 1983. We may be in different time zones, but not THAT different.

 

[Gaolee]

You win. Brian is a better player, but she has nicer legs.

Almost as good as Veronica's. Blasphemy to compare any legs to Veronica's, but there you have it.

 

[Gaolee]

Do you have 'bee's dick' as a unit of measure?

We have a RCH on jobsite. The net nanny wouldn't like the spelled out version.

I dunno. Maybe.

R?

No, no more than rosewood to my knowledge, the combination would be like a 7enderbird, which is cool. The was a Lull Non Reverse at The Bass Shop that had Dark Stars and a maple neck, I did play it briefly but not enough to form an opinion. If I recall that bass is owned by one of our club members though.

I do have a Lull T4 with Dark Stars. The pickups are quite a bit different from the normal pickups Mike uses and I think they make a lot more difference in the sound than maple vs rosewood finger boards.

Meshell N is playing in Sydney this weekend. Unfortunately I am otherwise engaged otherwise I may well have been there. Not been to ‘the factory’ at Marrickville as yet.
Could have been a notable first time.

 

[RedVee]

I don't think so, but I might start using it and try to introduce it into the culture. I think our equivalent would not be allowed to be posted here, because minors and all. The Internet is otherwise such a wholesome place.

Commonly used in “1/2 a bees dick”

 

[fasterpussycat]

Yes, that's a mouse.

Question for all you Thunderbirders!

I've started gassing for one, and would love to add an Epiphone Thunderbird to my stable. I play P basses and Stingrays, and I prefer the slightly wider necks to those of a jazz bass.

I understand only the standard bolt on Epiphone Thunderbirds have the wider neck, while Classic Pro and Vintage Pro have 1.5" jazz like neck width.

Even still, I take it both Classic and Vintage are a better choice for that rocking classic Thunderbird tone, and probably have better QC and quality in general? Best thing would be to try them all I suppose, but that might not be possible that soon.

Farndon was dismissed, after Scott left said building, for drug use. Died the following year.

Yes, you’ve got it.

(But the bolt-ons have their fans as well)

That's a pretty big organ to be moving around.

Would you be referring to an RCH?

 

[Dadagoboi]

There was something in the post this morning. It wasn't shoes.

I see you managed to install the string retainer. How's the action?

Are those bitches in Oz equipped with dicks as well as marsupial pouches?

 

[fasterpussycat]

Pretty low. It's fretting out around 15 but I can live with that for a few days. I don't expect it will move much but best to wait.

Had to look up 'R'. Yeah, that's it. I've typically heard it from macho construction worker types.
