All I've got to say is: Oh-Thank-God you DIDN'T give her one of those horrible Hofner "Beatle" basses!

well. I left it there for a whole day, hoping some other musically-inclined Lumaholic would step up to the plate ... no takers. ( *sigh* ) Okay, here goes ....

When Giovane posted the original prosal version of this story, I was amused to read that Lum Plays Bass-Guitar. In the intervening months, I occasionally pondered, as would any good Equipment Freak (and show me a musician -- pro', amateur, or hobbyist -- who isn't an Equipment Freak), "Just What Kind (brand/model) of Bass Would Lum Play?"

(almost worthy of a separate topic)

Well.

I know what I would place 'round the shoulders of Our Beloved Alien Beauty (custom Alembic Series 2: Balance-K Heart-Omega body, Excel electronics [keep it simple, she's not going to want to fuss with adjusting the tone, she wants to pick it up and play]; flame Maple top, bookmatched-to-center ....)

... and what I wouldn't (the aforementioned abomination-with-four-strings).

duzzat 'splains it?

Oh. Giovane? Those first frames of Ataru playing guitar....

Block inlays on an Ebony fretboard. Hmmm....

Les Paul Custom?
Offtopic: I had placed a link to a picture of a Les Paul Custom here, but because it was a link to a commercial site I decided to remove it. -- D.McK.

Nice choice. :Y

we return you now to your regularly-scheduled thread, already in progress ....

veehive, you'd have to know: MY ENGLISH IS SO POOR, now I've to search to translate any word of yours.  ;D ;D

About the few that I've understood, is so many times that I'm trying to realize some images of Lamù, Ataru and friends playing: is so much difficult but also amazing !!!

No many words now: just the time to carry my daugher on the bed (and to persuade her that she has to sleep) and I'll translate your words.

Sorry for my being a dummy  _/-\o_  _/-\o_

Giovane:

Your English is fine -- and you are NOT a "dummy". I apologize to you if I have caused you any difficulty.


DarkDevil & Dak:

Does my reply to your questions give you the answer you want, or was translation the problem?


Everyone:

Your English is pretty good. It is so good that I forget that English is a "second-language" for most of you. I will choose my words with more care in the future.

sincerely,
David M. McKenney

Ok, now all is clear: thank you David (alias veehive) for the semplification  _/-\o_  _/-\o_  _/-\o_


OT

ps: I'm still wondering how to translate "giovane dinamitardo" in english: maybe "young-dynamite-manager" ?!?  ;D

"Johnny Dynamite"?

(I thought that "dinamitardo" might be "dynamite" in Italiano but I could not find proof.)

I'm going to ask Lum-chan to move these posts to another section. I did not think my original "Beatle-bass" post would lead the thread this far off the topic.
