Back to the '80s

September 23, 2020

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.

Music

No, not my music. I don't play much any more. I spend more time with the band saw than the band.

This beautiful instrument was built from a teak cutting board that I got for free from Home Depot for review. 32" Eden neck, active electronics. Teak is hard enough for a simple oiled finish. This one was built with a minimum of tools, mostly by hand, to show that it can be done and how.

Minor Ding Removal

Minor dings in bare wood can often be popped out by applying a bit of boiling water, which will swell the grain. If water doesn't work, try heated acetone. Place a small container of acetone in a large container of hot water to heat it, away from any ignition source. Steam will also work - to fix up large areas, use an iron on low over a damp towel. I have even gotten the hot water trick to work through a finish, but there is no telling what the result may be, and I don't recommend trying it.
