So, what did I miss?

Back in the saddle with a mini Explorer(ish) cut from a MAX bass. Fits in a standard case and will use a standard body blank.

Mock up.


Original MAX prototype of eight years ago in current state of undress.


Trimmed, the rest is sawdust.




Medium and short scales are going to be fun.

The German magazine Gitarre&Bass wrote a nice review about the Brooks EB-PL Noir that I built almost seven years ago.

I once worked with a guy named Rich Cummings.  No one liked him, so we called him Dick.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: What Bro Country Sounds Like to People Who Don't Like It

Get over the accents! More than half the British Invasion faked American accents (or what they thought American accents were) - The Beatles included - and when they didn't you monolingual Yanks thought they were singing in another language (---> Small Faces). Likewise, a lot of Yank bands faked British accents, to the eternal amusement of the British music press. And there is no region on Earth where an English or even American dialect is spoken remotely like what John Fogerty fantasized bayou lingo to sound like. Or does anyone think that Robert Plant grew up in a household where "love" was pronounced "luuuv'" and adults referred to each other as "babiiieh"? Rrrubbish! (For the avoidance of doubt: pronounced "roobbish".)

Once again, Dave is the one to be talking to about this.  Whether he even feels like it, I don't know of course.  I'm beginning to regret I even posted the topic.  To people who hate bro-country it's a funny video.  But to people who don't or aren't familiar with it, it might not be.  I realize all that now.  But the one thing I will comment on is the fake Southern accent in many of these songs.  Often the songs are by people with real Southern accents.  However, when they sing these songs, they are forcing the accent, making it sound artificial, exaggerated, forced, etc.  As someone listening to real Southern accents every day, these bro-country songs just grate my ears tremendously.  I honestly can't stand listening to this crap.  That parody video is funny to me, but bro-country itself isn't funny at all.  I can't even imagine how real country music fans feel about this.  Because I'm just a casual fan, being far more familiar with rock than country.  But if even I'm offended, I'm sure others are offended much more.

Fender Basses / Re: Antigua is back

The cheese-yellow-green tones all come from the clear coat yellowing, potentially. This would make the Squier finish an aged Antigua rather than exactly what rolled off the production line?

Fender have applied Antigua as a NOS some years ago. A friend of mine got a Strat, I thought it looked incorrect. We perceive Antigua in its lightly aged form.

Some 70s Antiguas didn't have lacquered guards, so the only body shows yellowing.
