Doing Things Wrong

Back to the '80s

I make no excuses or apologies.

still love this bass line
Duran Duran owned the '80s
ever seen the other cut of this?
search for the 'night version'
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find it
this is the internet!
remember vinyl? or film, for that matter?

This album cover is by an artist named Patrick Nagel, who did a lot of very stylish pieces like this, most of them a lot racier than this.


This is the latest Ric project. I tried to use a Gibson-style nut, but it just can't cope with the Rickenbacker geometry. If you make the string slots deep enough to keep the strings from jumping out sideways, you end up over-cutting them, even with the 1.5mm shim I already installed because I was expecting that.
