Fairly self-explanatory, I'd have thought?!?!?!

   Sigh  ....

Hello from me too,  another bass player with a couple of guitars,  but i should do more with them  !

  So,    does anyone here play with a  slide  ?,  and if you do,  can you give me some hints and tips please ?,  presently tuned open  D,  is even that right ?, thanks.

I don't.

,,,,,,,,   simply appalling,   sigh.

I've never tangled with one of those,  maybe it's better that way ?

Good luck fella,  I haven't a clue   ......

Hi,  i'm assuming that's what the original owner did,  kept it in a shed or something,   the twerp.

Hi,  you'd need a lot of time to listen to my stories of spending too much money on guitars,  amplifiers  and even the odd drum  !

Hope you warm to it so you don't  mind  the cost  after all.

Hi,   I just wondered if there is anything that can be done to minimise lacquer checking  ?,  it's a 2018 HP Les Paul,  and though I'm happy with what I paid for it as the issue was highlighted in the add,   I would like it to not get worse.

Any update fella  ?

Looks so much better than my squier Strat,   that neck dink ,  how bad when playing  ?

This is great  !  well done.

Hi fella,  and welcome,     i have a Tele,    but its in a cardboard box in bits,  i ought to make more effort with it,   sigh.

  ......it’s all I have, short of physically making my guitar playing chums sign up.

     Ooh !,  i like the sound of this,  we could be like the Spanish Inquisition  ?

i've got my Strat project to finish one day,  its simply sanded down for the mo prior to staining,  i'd be interested in finishing gloop myself,  hopefully someone will suggest something

I sold my mint Lemon burst Gibson Les Paul,  now years later,  i replaced it with a pink burst HP Les paul,  lost nothing on the yellow job , but the replacement was nearly twice as much !

  Hi,  have you looked on Reverb.com and the like for a clue to its worth ?,   i upload pics and info to Richtone Music's website for a buying in price, they usually tell you what they would sell it for too.

One of my mates with a fine guitar collection has purchased allegedly for his wife's xmas present,  a violin bass,  then proceeds to tell me what he has learnt on it,  meanwhile m'lady is very quiet.

Good afternoon,  it seems to be bass-chatters with guitars, (not that you have one !),  last time i looked at the whole list as to whose on, there were loads of guests but few members.  the members you will recognize from basschat,  where i am T.B-B          HA - HA  !!!!

Yo Teebs - dude  !,  you were bob on with the tumbleweed sadly,   i'm going to upload some pics of what i have shortly, this is my works computer so has nothing i can use.

Hang on while i get me tin hat on  !!

Hello  Rich,  its a bit quiet sadly on here,  most of the action seems to come from basschat members,  i have a Les Paul HP,  and a manky squier Strat in  bits, in a box

Now then,     as a bass player my lovely Les Paul is almost useless to me, i have it tuned open D,  use a slide,    i have a custom build electric guitar with a wide neck now, the strings are on a 9mm spacing, (bass is 10mm),  BUT,  i got the idea from borrowing a huge dreadnought guitar which are made with that wider neck and spacing as standard as far as i know.  its an  arthritus  issue for me,  but getting a finger on each string sounds like the same issue.  Maybe of some help ?
