No mad rush.... Look after yourself first... Hope you get well soon.

I guess I need to be finishing that power supply! Sorry, been very distracted (and now I'm Tom Dick 🤢)

Don't worry, your processed meat in tubular form encased in pastry is safe on my watch.

I used to go to America and buy vintage clothes back in the 1980's and bring them back to flog. It was a lot of fun, and a nice way to subsidise my holidays. There was a shop in the Kings Road called American Classics that was very trendy (and very expensive). I could get most of the same gear half the price. However, even in those days in the States no one was giving the stuff away. All the shops selling secondhand clothes knew the value of the American market for classic and vintage gear.

If this was a product a few years back I would've chosen it over the Quad. Now? I don't think it would be worth the effort or make sense to sell the QC to buy this. I also feel obliged to stay loyal to Dougs new company and products since he has helped me out a good few times over the last few years. Just please port the Darkglass plugin into the QC!

Don't you dare chlorinate my sausage rolls!

Regardless of current turbulence, the pound is unlikely to recover historical strengths against the dollar. It might be a bit better than piss-poor, to use a technical term, but no one will be filling their boots with cheap American luxury goods in any foreseeable future. Trade deal or not, American goods such as musical equipment will remain priced at a bit more than they are actually worth. Just an aside, when you see the state of some of the people dining in Greggs nowadays , I think accepting American chlorinated chicken as part of a trade deal is the least of our worries. We've already accepted far worse in terms of diet and food habits.

That. That right there is clickbait! Heeheehee. On the contrary. Now we all want to hear it.

Thanks, there's more to it, but I don't want to get to long winded.

That's a pretty cool story it has attached to it. Really nice!

She's picky who she sleeps with! LOL!

It's pretty much as slick as snot at this point. It was originally LPB, with matching headstock, white/parchment pickguard. I have all the original parts. This bass had a problematic neck till around 75 I took it to Brian Dunn at rainbow guitars in Tucson Az. He had it for about a month as he heat treated the neck and got the Truss Rod to move as it should. Before there was limited adjust ability. I was never a fan of matching headstocks or vintage style frets so I had him refinish the head stock and do a refret with med jumbo wire. The best thing I ever did was to take it to Brian. It became a real player. Then I had the body repainted black. Back in those days they were just basses, no vintage value attached. I could have walked into Rainbow at any time back then and bought 2 or 3 for $200 buck apiece. I've messed with this bass for years and now I've got it where I want it.

I’m based in Fleet, so if Chris_B can’t make it, I’m available.
