While surfing the internets, I found this list of drummer jokes that someone has maliciously edited into bass player jokes. These are the worst ones. This is not funny at all. This is the sort of thing that gives guitarists a bad name.
Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? A: Only one - but the guitarist has to show him first.
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.
