Excuse my ignorance Steve A Bass guitar usually has four strings, a rhythm or lead guitar usually has six. Usually acoustic guitars are not electrified, but they can be, also you can get acoustic bass guitars, confused? You will be! As the late 70's sitcom "Soap" used to say. 1

Had this Bass since I were 17 and she's been everywhere with me, I've done in excess of a thousand gigs with her, everywhere from Glastonbury to Oswestry and very many studio sessions. Although she looks mint in pictures and onstage she is actually considerably beat up when examined close up. With string muter engaged and Fender Flatwound strings getting on for twenty years old (the strings) matched with this lovely vintage Vox she is perfect for that classic vintage McCartneyesque tone. With neck pickup only switched in she has that lovely rich tone ala Jamerson, actually in the right hands the tonal possibilities are endless, I do have other vintage basses but this one is my baby and can be seen most weekends in a club somewhere in the extreme southwest! That's a great looking instrument you have there,Simon.You can't beat a 'Rick' for that splendid throaty growl that they possess.. practitioners such as Chris Squire and Geddy Lee spring to mind in particular! I started out on the bass guitar in my teens before switching to the guitar but have recently started playing bass guitar again a lot more on my own recordings as opposed to just sampling the majority of bass sounds I use from records etc. Thanks for sharing ,I'm a complete sucker for this kind of stuff!

Thanks, yeah I was aware that we share the interest. I have one of two vintage Fenders too but I've always been known as a Rick man. The bass is a wonderful instrument, glad you've gone to it.

Ste. The owl is perched on top of an industrial greenhouse and used by the owner, who breeds racing pigeons, to scary away birds of prey and other predators that might take a fancy to the pigeons. The owl's raised wings came about as a result of a storm the previous night - in the high winds they'd become detached from the body. I just had to capture the comical effect! 2
Winsford Soul Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 These decoys normally have a short effective life. Apart from the Heron lookalike for your garden ponds which surprisingly works. I once worked at a recycling plant that had a major problem with seagulls . They fitted a plastic hawk on a flexible pole which worked great for a few days then the gulls realised it was no threat and returned to the factory Steve 7 minutes ago, Amsterdam Russ said: The owl is perched on top of an industrial greenhouse and used by the owner, who breeds racing pigeons, to scary away birds of prey and other predators that might take a fancy to the pigeons.
