The Squier Mini Precision is very nice and fits in any standard strat/tele gigbag.

Oh yes, I also had that — I originally received a euro cable with my powered HB spaceship pedalboard a few years ago. They sorted it out for me as well.

Each of my last two orders from Thomann has had a mistake in what I received. Nothing serious, in each order there was a main 'big' item, and then a shopping list of a few smaller bits & bobs. in the first shipment I received a set of 010 electric guitar strings instead of the equivalent 010 acoustic strings I had ordered, and in the shipment I received today they missed out one of the two schaller switch tips I ordered. They put the first order's issue right by sending out the correct strings and I'm sure I'll get the missing switch tip in a week or so now I've sent an email. Have I just been unlucky or do they often make this kind of mistake these days?

No one suggested they were musicians, I wrote that I wouldn't be in a band with bigots like them.

I don't know about the NW necks, but If you're not in a hurry to buy and want a top quality neck, check the prices of the Fender necks on Amazon as they tend to go up & down. A couple of months ago I managed to snag a fantastic Fender Precision to Jazz conversion neck (i.e. a jazz neck with a precision decal) for £211. The fretwork was perfect without needing any levelling etc, the pre-drilled holes meant that it was quick & easy to fit, and it has a thin finish (satin on the back, gloss on the front of the headstock) which makes it feel like a played-in neck. It came with a nut fitted which just had pilot slots cut, so it needed slotting & shaping which I had done at the Gallery.

Broke and Hungry — Blind Lemon Jefferson

I wouldn't be in a band with someone who has bigoted views. Several years ago I almost joined a band which was newly forming where the keyboard player told an unpleasant racist joke at the first rehearsal. This was the first time any of the band members had met each other and he probably felt that it was safe as everyone in the room was a white male old enough to remember the 70s. He was also more 'Jools Holland' than 'Booker T', overplaying rinky-dink piano over everything and polluting my sonic space with his left hand. I wouldn't be in a band with bigots like JK Rowking or Graham Lineham either.

Go Now — Bessie Banks

Disappointed Bride — The Hearts

Roundabout — Yes

They weren't really brothers so probably not.

The headstock shape looks pretty much the same to me if foreshortening due to perspective is taken into consideration.

The guitar looks like a Vox Super Ace https://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/vox/1963_Super_Ace.php

Looks like a Vox Symphonic Bass to me. https://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/vox/bass/

Me, Myself, and I — De La Soul

The socket isn’t marked. It isn’t as flimsy as the usual cheap ones and looks just like a switchcraft, just with without any makers mark and very slightly thinner metal used in its construction. I’m sure it would have been fine if I was using any other cable, but the weight of the cloth covered curly cable put more downward force on it than it was probably designed for.

I get mine from printed.com
