  1. Looks like the days of getting YFS Towers featured in 'Hello' are now numbered then?
  2. At this rate, so many will have bought them at 'pre-sale' price, there will be no-one left to pay full price.....🤔
  3. Yes, it now has a '15' ' speaker, good job it's got a neodymium magnet.....!
  4. The irony is his company is called 'Public Peace'.......
  5. I'll have some, but only if they are good for Metal? Assume this is the confirmation just received from 'Strikingly' which my wife is now very dubious about? Could it not have been 'straplockingly'?
  6. No, you mean 'Cue', the monthly Snooker and Billiards magazine for the working man.
  7. My ambition over the years when I had a subscription, was to win the Q Crossword. Then one September I was doing the crossword and happened to notice my name as one of the winners for the Carling Leeds Festival tickets , which had happened a couple of weeks earlier! I gave them a ring and they admitted a mess-up and I was sent 48 cans of Carling and a promise to next years Festival ( which Carling stopped sponsoring so never happened). However they said in the meantime I could have 2 tickets to a gig at any of the Carling venues that were dotted around the country, went to see The Feeling at Newcastle. I also got sent a special framed copy of their 1000th Cover of which only 100 were printed and were quite rare. I now do the Mojo Crossword but during lockdown they have stopped the prizes and nowadays everyone can look up the answers on t'net.....
  8. Wot I said earlier, can't believe Adrian has not resolved this situation yet, maybe someone who knows him could send him this thread as a link?
  9. There's been another Reverb topic recently, a search should reveal all...!
  10. and Bonehead too, never was a guy more aptly named...... back to the Welsh bit, they obviously decided the Charlatans are/were a bigger band than MSP
  11. Lots and lots of info in the Bass Lounge, btw it's spelt 'Squier' if you need to do a search!
  12. Back on topic for the OP, there is a download called 'Honey' (ironic?) which claims to seek out discount codes. I've never got one except on Euro car parts and they have big discounts anyway but it may be worth trying, or as said earlier, ask if PMT will price match?
  13. +1 and there are lots of 'hacks' on here and YT for things like nut slot files. Indeed, there was a very robust exchange this week on the very subject.....!
  14. This is actually where you say "I'm sorry I did not mean to cause offence' and you take a long hard look at what you consider funny/wonder why there are so few women on Basschat....🤔
  15. and here's one for you but I feel slightly less liberated now😨

    1. BassTractor

      Aye, the liberation is starting to wear off, and in addition I have no flaming clue as to what the concept and purpose of this functionality might be. Sigh. Getting old.

      Try burning your y-fronts on the steps of your local magistrate's* for a truly liberating feeling.

      *May lead to arrest, incarceration and subsequent patronage by large sweaty lags.

  16. Over 100 posts and Adrian is happy to have his reputation called into question.....🤔
  17. I've told this story before but Brad Paisley who is a big Americana/Country star wanted a Pink Paisley Tele. He got CMI (Chicago Music Instruments) to source him an old battered painted black Tele and being a big star it sat in his guitar room for a few months when he was on Tour. On return he then gave it to his Luthier to convert which was going to be a big and involved job. Luthier looked at the finish and realised it was not original Black so did a test strip which revealed an original PInk Paisley finish below. Still took a lot of work to reveal it but many of the Pink Paisley guitars were overpainted when 'Hippies' fell out of fashion in the 80's. Some Americans think the Paisley pattern Guitars and Basses are a reference to Brad, but we ( and especially the Scots), know better! I'm here all week.....
  18. Its titled 'Repro Fender Jazz Bass'. That should be enough to indicate to prospective buyers it is a copy? Unless the 'Repro' is an edit?
  19. and promise to be the last time you'll be contacted before the offer is ended?
