I'll also wager that your next gig is in a large population centre, quite close to other large population centres, relatively speaking. But even in our isolated outpost of civilisation, I'd like to think that one might hook in a few curious people. Maybe people are so skint that spending a fiver on a lineup of bands they don't know is a gamble too far. I think I'm going to be on a hiding to nothing with this point, as I'm sure a fingerpointing from someone at our lack of initiative when it comes to self promotion is in the post, so I think I'll leave it there.

Plus, at the local level, we find it hard to get people to get off their backsides and pay a fiver at the door to come see us. Please, restrain yourselves from commenting on the quality of the fare on offer, you scamps - you know what I mean!

Yup, I just checked in Chrome and Edge, filters do hee haw when you click on them - they should present a drop down menu to choose from, yes?

My usual reaction these days is "Eff off! I'm not paying that!" Scot's gotta Scot. But it is getting ridiculous, and it's not just gig tickets. Someone's making money at our expense, and it isn't me, that's for damn sure. I rarely go out to the pub these days, never mind gigs, because the price of a pint is taking the p!ss. Maybe it has to, because if it's not the pubs who are taking the mick, then it's someone above them in the supply chain taking the mick out of them, to then take the mick out of me. I'm not having it. My wallet has a vote, and it's voting "no" a lot more often these days.

Breaking collarbone in first learning period

Heal up first. You'll remember more than you think when you return to the bass. I didn't play bass for two years during lockdown, and nearly quit altogether but thankfully I got back on the horse and it all came flooding back. Your bass playing will be fine and it can wait. Don't compromise your recovery by trying to do physical things before you're ready. I haven't ridden a bike for years, but I'm pretty sure I won't need my stabiliser wheels put back on... -
That's what you get for not paying your bills?

Something Gibson-esque (speed knob, bell knob, witch hat) in keeping with the EB-ness of it all?

Epiphone Thunderbird Classic Pro IV in great condition. This is the neck thru (not the cheaper bolt on) Thunderbird with the Gibson USA pickups. Bridge is a Hipshot Supertone and the tuners have been replaced with Wilkinson tuners. Comes with official Epiphone hard case, and has Schaller straplocks fitted (will include a strap). Would prefer a local sale (Aberdeen) but can meet somewhere agreeable within reason or can post at buyer's expense. Tryouts welcome.

I used strips of wood veneer to make rings of wood to make up the difference... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/514065-it-came-from-the-black-lagoon/#findComment-5523942

Everyone knows what these are - T-Rex Fuel Tank Jr. - PSU for smaller pedalboards, 5 individual outputs. Comes boxed, has velcro on the bottom (and is missing a foot, sorry) complete with mains cable and 5 connector cables. Also have thrown in my ingenious brackets for mounting it to a wooden board (they're bike chain links, bent through 90 degrees - you fit them to the casing by removing the bottom case screws, then screwing them back on through the holes in the bike links, then screw through the other half into the wood or whatever, have left some pickguard screws in there which are perfect for this). £45 posted seems to be the going rate for these, so... £45 posted then. -
After a wee break, am back on the gigging horse with Nine Lives at the Balaclava in Fraserburgh on Saturday 25th Oct.

I suspect Inga is on a quest for quick post count amassing... do people still care about that these days? It's like having a visitor counter on your Geocities web page, lol.

Well indeed, apart from the TRC I can't see what you're looking for here. But I'll throw some fuel on the T-40 parts fire... When I fitted a T-40 pickup to my DeArmond Jet Star, the pickup ring was a bit warped and sad, so I got one 3D printed using this model - fits great! If they're not bothered about originality of parts, this could get someone out of jail - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3587735
