Unfortunately, I have a gig the night before. I know I said that last year and ended up being able to attend because there was a cancellation, but I'm not placing any bets on lightning striking twice. You never know, but at time of writing this, I will be unable to attend and lumber you with my recycling

FFS, giggin' the night before -
Which companies are dead to you?

TBF it's usually "The 'Spoons", I don't think Wetherspoons is posh enough to have "The" in front of it -

I hope you're talking about Wetherspoons, and not The Inevitable Teaspoons! (we often get shortened to 'Spoons - it caught my eye) -

I don't think so. Mine works fine, ergo the post is bollox. Also, judging by the spelling, I think @itu has had a few shandies... -
Connecting IEC to Powercon (stupid) question

Worst name for a product ever - all this talk of PP3s makes me think of you hooking a 9V battery up to the mains. Which I know is bonkers but I can't get that vision out of my head! -
Ahh, the devil drink strikes again! Enjoy the bass

Clearly (and unfortunately) enough people fall for this scam, otherwise scammers wouldn't do it.

Is it amateur hour again?

What's your beef with basswood? It's not balsa! Are those tuners small? They're elephant ears, no? When you said "small tuners" I was expecting to see something akin to a Gotoh GB7 type thing with small Y key. You must like 'em BIG if you consider these to be small. I just scratched my head a lot. You do you, but I'm really confused!

Use the spare money for some lessons, upgrade yourself instead? Unpopular suggestion, no doubt, but I thought I'd throw it out there. If you improve your playing, you improve how every bass you'll ever own sounds.

The Cave - a barber shop in Aberdeen. Needed a quick haircut and was looking for a new place as my old one closed. So I went into their place. Got told by the lady (receptionist?) that it was appointment only. Place was empty. I said I was just wanting a single gauge buzz cut. Lady went to the back shop to speak to the barber. Guy actually looked at me through the open door then shook his head at the lady then disappeared back into the back shop. In full view of me! Well, F you then, you snobby C! Went to the place next door to it and got sorted out no bother. Also Wetherspoons can eat a D. Owner's a knob. Managed to successfully dissuade my staff Christmas night out from going there and go to a nearby establishment instead, and will continue to fight the good fight. Me and Gibson (USA) are on a long term break... -
Keep up the good work!

You just can't help yourself, can you? Are you even reading our input, or just using any excuse to berate bolt on construction? Just rename the thread to "I hate bolt on construction and I think anyone who owns one is an idiot" and be done with it, because that's all I'm getting from this thread now. Cool story bro. I'm out.

OP doesn't have a bee in the bonnet, got the whole damn hive

You're wasting your time.

This is the kind of creative thinking I've been hoping for

Also, we get it - you don't like bolt on construction. You're off base with your description though. I've seen many pieces of wood screwed together with military precision, with lovely recessed screw heads and sculpted heels. A well done neck join is a joy to behold, regardless of the method.

I just found a font I liked and used that. It's kinda like the font used on the cover of The Cure's "Wild Mood Swings". The letters kinda look like they're dancing? It's ruined now, I've explained it

Hell no. I would set fire to a grand of it as a symbolic gesture then use the remaining FOUR GRAND to buy a G&L or two.

What you doing up there anyway?

A mysterious chip appears on your brand new bass guitar.... you....

E - learn how to set up your own basses so you don't have to take it to a tech for a "minor adjustment"? -
Doing some homework for next rehearsal: Blondie, "One Way or Another" Hole, "Celebrity Skin" Garbage, "Only Happy When it Rains" A rocked up version of "Ring of Fire", kinda like Bowling For Soup perhaps. And making sure that these haven't trickled out of my brain in the interim: Ozzy, "Bark at the Moon" Queen, "Tie Your Mother Down"
