Simple? I did think of "She sells sanctuary" but although the bass line is simple, I think it's more guitar-driven than bass-driven.

Cheapskates could have inlaid a logo.

That's come up nicely. Next I suppose you'll be asking whether it should have a white or a tort pickguard.

My stepson (23) has just got back from Downpour. He rang up to let us know - seemed to have enjoyed himself despite getting soaked and managing to sprain his ankle badly.

I think it was his "Compression 101" post - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/30431-is-a-compressor-of-any-real-value-in-fast-rock-music/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-1148269

One more than I currently have.

Can I correct your corrections? Seller ID for the corners, ki_117 - underscore rather than hyphen. Seller ID for the felt is diy-foam-upholstery-supplies.

Looking for the needled felt - "needled felt" throws up a lorra lorra hits because Ebay doesn't think you know what you're looking for, "needled felt -needles" is much better. diy-foam-upholstery-supplies is the seller ID. Stevie, sorry to be a PITA, but could you confirm if the right stuff is the firm needled black felt in https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cotton-Upholstery-felt-flock-wadding-Firm-or-soft-all-types-upholstery-padding/172117993027 or is it a different one?

The seller ID. Not strictly needed though if you search for "8pcs hard steel guitar amp corners".

If she was currently wearing them, she'd be a centipede.

Search on seller works better if it's the right seller. Trying to be helpful rather than critical.

Parts list shows the corners as from ki-11y, it's ki_117.

If you post which drawer it is on here, you'll be able to find it again when everything else gets here.

Ah, St Valentine, patron saint of goats, donkeys, and stilt walkers.

"Beatified" isn't a posh version of "beaten", you know.

Isn't that "character"?

The early Warwicks up to 1990ish with the carved backs to the headstock.

The living room contains 7 basses hanging on the wall and another couple in cases. And I have a bass and a guitar with me on holiday. As for Marillion inspiration, I already had a Warwick JD Thumb, but I did get a strap the same as his and a Cort GB4 which is identical (apart from the colour of the logo) to the GB94 he used for a few years.

I've had a Superfly and a Superduperfly - loved the preamp but didn't make proper use of it, the power amp modules weren't quite as good and were a bit weird as you get two power amp modules but with no bridging option. I did suggest to Ashdown that they release the preamp (digitally-controlled graphic with presets that you could select through MIDI) as a stand-alone preamp. Sadly, they didn't.

Mine (bought second-hand here) has been working happily for the last 7 years. Shame you didn't get a replacement rather than a refund.

It's got to be worth a try with baking soda first, that's not going to be exactly expensive.

Tascam GB10 and headphones.

That's what I thought when I saw it too.

It's the Dunning-Kruger effect, and it's not just beginners who overestimate their own abilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
