Yeah, I think it is.

Cringe? My sphincter felt so tight it threatened to rectally invert me.

Is that, by any chance, the one Marc S sold? If so, “I hate you” (said in a petulant, Kenneth Williams voice). I’m so jealous 😛

Last week I decided to finally put the Labella flat wound strings that I had bought almost 2 years ago on to my Yamaha BB 1200. You can imagine just how gutted I was when the A-string broke as I was putting the strings on. Finding a single replacement string was clearly highly unlikely so this would render the whole set as useless or at least mean that I would have to buy a new set and have three spares. On the off-chance that they might be able to help me I wrote an email to Thomann.I heard nothing back for several days and thought, “oh well tough luck”. Imagine my surprise when, four working days later, I received a single replacement A-string in the post and that during the Christmas rush. Many thanks to those nice people at customer service at thomann. Merry Christmas XXX.

Much as its irks me to say it (bah humbug!) you make a very good point there.

Clearly he is either: a.) the reincarnation of a Mesopatamian king b.) hiding his identity for fear of reprisals (understandable really) c.) just a bit if a bell-end d.) all of the above

Thanks ikay, that is very generous and super useful. I‘ve run band rehearsals where I needed to keep an eye on horn entries or “where‘s that double chorus again?“ and such like while “reading“ myself. A normal chart tends to demand too much of my attention and just wouldn‘t leave room for that extra info. I improvised something similar, but not nearly so clear and concise. Good on yah!

Angeldust guitars http://angeldust-guitars.com/about_me/ This is an interesting concept. As far as I can understand he works in cooperation with other dealers across Europe and beyond. Simplest would be if you were to read his “About me“ in this link. He has an extensive range of vintage and none vintage.

It‘s a struggle but I maple through.

When I spotted that this thread had re-appeared, it felt like Christmas had come early this year.

Frankly, I feel you‘re being much too kind.?

Brings regular solarium visits to mind.

9 years, my God you‘ve got some stamina!......oh, wait a minute...... oh, you mean..... ....coat.

Pictures ir it never happened! ?

Just accidentally bought a new bass... oh, don’t you just hate it when that happens.....

My point is, that the fact that they‘re a functioning/trading company (albeit with a minimally altered name) with great products and not a fading memory.

Genz Benz re-emerged last year as Genzler https://www.genzleramplification.com/category/17/Bass-Cabinets.html Same family and he was even willing to pick up some of the maintenance work that disappointed customers didn’t get when Fender folded Genz Benz.

Thanks for that. I‘ll keep an eye out then.

Does anyone know if these are halfway playable? Only I‘ve got a project coming up (no joke) that it‘d be ideal for.
