  1. Tonga being in the news brought this little ditty to mind (the first of the Flanders & Swann songs herein). Reflecting on it, I believe it would be rather less acceptable nowadays as it's about non-consensual sex. It's rather hard to imagine Flanders and Swann being more offensive than Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, but Wayne is giving a choice of having sex or leaving.
  2. I'm in until somebody sells an Ibanez SRF705 (or exchanges it for a Cort GB4). Hmm, really should get round to posting in the marketplace.
  3. I thought it was charged at the rate applicable in the supplying country, but looking into it further, it's the rate applicable in the supplying country if the supplier has annual sales lower than 10 000 Euros, and in the country being supplied to if it's more.
  4. He said "extra VAT" - that might refer to the fact that Ireland's VAT rate is 23% and the UK's is 20%. When the UK was in the customs union, VAT would be charged at source, so he'd pay 20%, since Brexit he'd have to pay VAT at the Irish rate of 23% on importing the item.
  5. Sad to see him go, Bat Out of Hell came out at around the time that I started riding bikes and partying with the outlaw club that I prospected for invariably included BOOH being played. Saw him at the NEC and he was excellent. A colossal amount of energy for a man of his size.
  6. That's a bit odd, his bass soon after he'd moved to the current premises and was using the garage in the field as a rehearsal room was a 5-string Warwick.
  7. There's an acoustic duo called Karen & Mike Fleming in the USA. Mrs Zero and I (also an acoustic duo) could team up with them and be Karen & Karen & Mike & Mike Fleming.
  8. Mus be a rick of the ligh, i looked like rather faded gold to me but maybe no.
  9. That's the great thing about headless basses, you only get the singer in the ear if you really want to.
  10. Look more closely. It's got chrome hardware.
  11. Searching for picures of Alan Davey and he Rick, I found one wih a Fireglo Rick. However, i's no he one in he aucion as i has chrome, no gold, hardware, so his wouldn' be any good o use in a ribue band.
  12. Surely he means "Watkins Rapier" (my brother had the Rapier 33 guitar). The website link gives a bit of a clue.
  13. One or two quite interesting ones in his shop.
  14. http://www.theglitterband.co.uk/ That website could do with updating, still uses Flash (woa-oh, he saved every one of us).
  15. The band I have recently parted company with wasn't called after the singer/guitarist, but it was very much his band, to the extent that the drummer and I got mere fleeting mentions on the website. One of my songs does feature on the CD that we did, so it wasn't complete blanking of other members' efforts, but it didn't seem like a band in any respect other than the music itself.
  16. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band without Alex? The Glitter Band? Individual circumstances differ, of course.
  17. At home, I put away the various bits and pieces I'd had out into the bagpipes box that my guitarist had given me, bent over to close it, and stuck like it. I was in my early 20s then. A day or two later I managed to get up to the pub, still bent over. Had a couple of drinks, and somebody passed a joint round. That was some relaxation that worked.
  18. And possibly the pen1s enlargement companies. Of course, he could say the water was cold.
  19. I had a chance to buy one a few decades ago. What a horrible instrument. If it had been nicer to play, I could have had my pension fund.
  20. There was one zombie thread a little while ago that I revived as the subject of it had mentioned it elsewhere (I think) . It finished up with me passing a bit of information between someone who'd come on here and someone I know from a newsgroup. This thread was the one:
  21. If you don't need to change the functions of the buttons, you don't need a screen. You just need space for a 5-pin DIN socket and a DC power socket.
  22. I use expensive couriers booked through brokers which brings the price down to very little more than cheap couriers. The broker gives me an option of which courier to use and I choose (it's almost always been UPS for pretty good reliability and insurance, at least IME). As I know which courier they're using and have a reference number for that courier, if anything goes wrong then contacting the courier direct means the message isn't being relayed out and then relayed back.
  23. How often have you used the alternative power supply? I've used an alternative with no issues. Does the HX FX work with the Diago PSU still? Could the Line 6 PSU be faulty? Or have slipped slightly out of the plug adaptor? Also, the Line 6 PSU is centre negative.
