Bought an item from Tom, really good comms and super easy to deal with. Delivery, packaging, everything was spot on. As stated previously, deal in confidence!

I like that idea...the 10+ year badge, heh. I've been on this forum so long and I don't necessarily comment much, but for the 'little boy' in me as an amateur enthusiast, this has been the place of dreams for me over the years with some of the things I've been able to acquire here from some really nice people. Here's to another 10 years.

That is f'ed up...

Right, I often tell myself to stay out of these parts of the forum 'cause many times nothing good comes out of it when difference of opinion flares up. But this is bugging me and I don't like how it feels. Last year a bass I had longed for a while came up for sale. It was a good price and I saw it an hour after it was posted, so I did not hesitate. Unfortunately I was still too late as it had just sold in principle. The seller later reveals to me, that unknown to him, he later realised it was a well known shop that bought it. A few days later the same bass was advertised on that shop for double its forum price. It just made me feel so uneasy knowing someone who owns a shop and has deeper pockets than I do, swoops in and takes something off the forum for immediate resale. I'm a bit naive in thinking the forum is for the benefit of the members here to enjoy the toys we all like. I bring this up as I recently purchased something tres cool (to me), from a member who has been here a while, and owned it even longer. I feel fortunate tbh. But I 'know' that someone may have bought that to flip it elsewhere, and I dunno, just makes me sad. I'm not against free markets and all that...but I always saw BC as that place where 'the one that got away' could swing back around years later (as has happened to me) when someone is ready to move it on and let someone else enjoy it, all at reasonable prices. I'm not saying individuals don't flip items, but at least its not at a business level. Anyways, rant over.

Jazzbois, at the Jazzcafe Camden tonight! I was such a Youtube fan when I discovered them last year, went to I think their first UK gig in summer, then tonight. Place was full which was nice to see. Love their vibe.

Junior Gong and Steel Pulse tonight. I wanted to go but can't...man that would have been fun https://southfacingfestival.com/event/jamrock/

A little wake up for the weekend vibes...

You raided my 90s cassette tapes! Long live the 90s!!! (somebody, please take me back)

Remembering the 90s - went to see '311' last night. I had a blast. And for once with an older established band, quite a lot of the audience appeared younger than me!

Good vibes bro...good vibes... 😎
