Are those dot scores on the fingerboard..? A bit wide, I think.

Be prepared for a stream of replies; this has been hotly debated (and definitively answered...) several times over the last decade or so. You'll come across a few new terms, maybe, such as 'excursion' or 'heft'; I'll leave it to others to fill in the technical details. Just as a clue, and assuming you have ear-buds (or at least a set of earphones...): do you hear bass through those..? Are they 18"..?

Yes, it's too bold.

I bailed out of bidding, as I'm sure there'll be a run on it, the pitch is so fine.

Yes, lad, just what the World needs right now. Go for it, Tiger; go for it.

With your voice..? ...

Eight entries, but only five entrants have voted. There's still time, of course.

Oh no..! It's going to be another bloomin' catastrophe..! Why, oh why, are all the compositions this month so good..? How to split the winners..? All those certificates..! Oh no..!

Oh, I do so hate it when that happens. ...

(And, to avoid any risk, play only a repertoire of Radiohead songs...)

Soooooo, is this still, like, available..?

Good evening, Kevin, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

... and a snare drum... and kick pedal... and a hi-hat clutch ... and a defibrillator...

He was on the list at the very first Festival, Godshill, Isle of Wight, in '68. Spectacular, at the time; I have fonder memories of Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention and more; well over half a century ago now..!

Why..?

These new picks are an 'opportunity' to learn again how to play guitar, so I'm starting from scratch. Today I did Page Fifteen of Bert Weedon's 'Play in a Day' method, the first playing exercise in the book. Open strings only, down strokes, then up and down, then moving between strings, with a sort of arpeggio thing to finish, across the strings. Tomorrow I'll do the same again then turn the page, the next day again, and so on, with an extra page a day. It's all written on staves, so I may get a bit of reading practise at the same time, which can't hurt. I'm not so sure about the 'Play in a Day' part, unless one gets up very early and skips meals, but the first lesson has gone off quite well, and I didn't drop the plectrum..!

Buying from individuals inside the EU is the answer, as VAT and duty do not apply to such sales. BC has many such members, and there are other sources, too, such as Ebay, LeBonCoin and many more.

Yes, import duty and VAT are applied to every item bought, whether from a shop or a private sale. The Seller has to declare the value in the forms filled in for the dispatch.

I'm a drummer, and always have a spare kit on hand, just in case a drum head splits, or a shell gets crushed. I double up on cymbals, too, as they are so liable to break if hit hard. It makes finding space on stage a bit tricky, of course, but I've peace of mind, so... ...

? ? ? Why do you need a fretted..? A fretless can cover that, Shirley..?

Lousy bowing technique ^^.

For me, it started when 'Freak Out' was released. It started, but never stopped. Great Stuff.

Good evening, Gunther, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. We have topics for photos and nature; have a scout around...
