HA! Stand down emergency, if you'll pardon the pun. Plan B came through unexpectedly well. I have all the stands I need now. Massive shout out to my local, friendly, independent guitar shop - Ramjam in Aberdeen who had the exact stands I was looking for - not in their official inventory but bought for their own purposes but not used. Sold them to me especially. Great bunch of lads. See you tomorrow!

Right, it looks like I've been screwed over on the stands front. Despite me paying for first class postage, vendor used RM Tracked 48, a 2-3 day service and I just got the email from RM to tell me they'll deliver them... tomorrow. FFS. Which means I'm 4 stands short. @peterjam - could I please hijack the triple stand you were offering before it goes to its new owner? @rwillett - I know you mentioned spare stands, but I think @ossyrocks already asked for spare stands so maybe you could help him out with yours? Cheers folks, see you tomorrow!

I'll be there early doors - no point otherwise!

I may need to borrow this on Saturday before it goes to its new owner, if that's OK with the new owner. Ordered some stands last week but it is unclear if they will arrive in time

I've got a lot of time for this guy, even if he has a sign in his workshop which says "I DON'T BUILD BASS GUITARS"

It's the online equivalent of trying to get served in pubs when you're underage - been going on since the beginning of rules/controls on the matter. You're never going to stop them trying, bless.

4kg / 8.8lbs - bathroom scales and I couldn't be arsed taking the leather strap off so make of that what you will.

Unremarkable? But just for you, I'll give it a wee weigh when I get home from work. Might be later on - got band tonight ('Spoons).

It's back... same ridiculous ETA as the last time I used this order but they arrived way sooner than that. Anyway, I'm not in a rush, just handy to have some extra spares at a silly price!

It might be catching on the pickguard also...

Ah, don't take it like that. I get paid in my professional life to be paranoid when it comes to these kind of things...

That'll be most of them then, unfortunately...

I did drive about 550 miles in each direction to collect a Markbass cab, but to be fair I was also going down to the SW Bass Bash anyway, so I don't know if it counts as I wasn't going there with the sole purpose of collecting gear...

About 200 miles each way is the most I've gone for the sole purpose of buying a bass.

I see the problem here - you need a bigger sofa, mate
