This time last year I had 4 basses. I now have two, and one of them I'm not sure about (it's got 5 strings 🤣). I do spend more time playing. It's good advice from @Crawford13 My problem is I've still got the bass funds from selling a couple!

I had a Tecamp cab and measuring it and working out how it hadn’t been designed properly was the start of a journey through well engineered cabs. With the caveat that I’m not an expert, and I may not have measured correctly or done my sums right - it was an awful piece of non engineering.

Calling @walshy

I have no idea if there is an equivalent GAS but I want this https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/land-rover-defender-42110

I give up and bow to your genius

What does seem to be unique is EBMM deciding to tie their supply problems with a seemingly disproportionate price hike for the EU&UK markets. so that might have meant that their margins are squeezed and they have to rise prices- So the smaller as a percentage rise the US market is seeing would show that. For us in the UK/EU it might have meant that shipping prices have increased a bit (I think they have) but then we would expect to see similar price increases for every instrument imported. Which we don’t seem to have. so, I don’t want to be patronising, either there is a supply problem at EBMM in which case increases in price should be proportional in US and U.K. OR there is an increase in shipping costs in which case we will see similar increases in Fender, Gibson, Yamaha et al (of interest To most forum members) OR EBMM are using this as an opportunity to move their products into a different market segments - Treating them as a Veblen goods. It can’t be the first, and if a giant like Thomann are following suit it’s unlikely to be the second so to me it seems obvious it’s the last. which is fine, it’s their product they can do what they like- what about that being the case do you find so contentious?

Where? Have you got a link? That sounds interesting

Roughly level with the mini switches under the pickups?

that's there one you sold me? With Shadow pickups ?

No you don't. sometimes you mention IEMs

nah more this monstrosity

gold metal flake I think

In white? With “Yammy” written on the headstock?

is that a polite way of saying "everything" @agedhorse?

that was a joke BTW.

Heft?

there was always that lad at school with a shirt that looked like that wasn't there? (possibly a generational thing - I knew @AndyTravis would know what I meant if nobody else)

Want me to do a photoshop job?

That flat black isn't the most exciting finish- ten min in photoshop and you can do some nicer things...
