290mm on the nose, I reckon! Maybe 289.5, if you're splitting hairs.

FFS, I just put it away. Hang on...

Last night, played with Nine Lives at the Balaclava in Fraserburgh. Quite an odd night of two halves. First half was pretty busy and we had some dancers up. Second half got a bit quieter, and everyone seemed more reserved, although I did note some head nodding and singing along. So we got finished, and then, to my surprise given the relative tumbleweed which was the second half, got 4 different folk say to me how much they enjoyed the gig, we were amazing etc. One fellow bass player too praising my performance - always nice to have one's ego fluffed a little! Gear was Ibanez ATK200 then G&L L-1000 into the usual cubular black and yellow trouser flappers.

Well, I can't please everyone

Nah, you're absolutely fine - completion of last year's orders is allowed. Enjoy!

Oops, drunk neep should have all his devices taken away from him

Not at all, just pointing out that while on the surface of it, adulting is boring and awful, it's not as if it doesn't yield any benefit whatsoever. It's just that sometimes those benefits/worths are taken for granted because they're not shiny or dopamine inducing. If I'm guilty of anything, it's the terse way in which it was expressed. Scottish stoicism at its finest, doesn't necessarily mean I'm being a meanie...

Right, but you derive no pleasure from having a warm house, yeah?

Oh right, "stuff you agree with" yeah? For context, I'm drunk, but take from it what you will.

Tomorrow night, Nine Lives at the Balaclava in Fraserburgh.

According to Thomann - "Made of carbon and refined aluminium"

Massive T2 fail on an epic scale! At least all that new non-bass gear might distract you from failing T1...

The acquisition of a keyboard stand would fall under tier 2, but you'd still be clear in tier 1 (which is the main event tbf). Happy to sign you up on that basis - be good!

Right then @Machines, I've compiled the results, and it's a majority 8-2 ruling for... NOT GUILTY In my closing notes I will say that you had a close brush with failure and you would be well advised to steer clear of guitar shops going forward, but the court will not go as far as issuing a restraining order. Be good. Case closed.

I honestly don't care if you buy some sheets of plywood. I bought some screws recently because I had to come up with an inventive way to mount a pickup (bought last year) - I didn't even mention it here - they're screws! It's clear you bought all the "gear" parts of the project last year, as did I. I've got no issue with this.
