Is that just udder cream in a repackaged pot? I know a dairy farmer with lovely hands. 🧐 In a similar way I recommend the O'keefes Working Hands or whatever it's called. I don't normally buy into these TV advertised miracle cures. But due to my job I often great cracked fingers when the first really cold weather hits. In laws bought me some and, although I hate the feel of it on my hands, it really does work. I just leave it on as long as I don't have to do anything in the evening and then wash my hands as it always seems to feel damp. But even doing that it clears up my hands in a couple of days, without leaving them to soft to work with.

I like idea of the trough along the centre. There's always something in the way no matter how much room you've got.

Do you know I considered that, but it means buying a sheet of tort. I've got black and bronze pearl.

The tuners are cleaned up the best I can and back on, and the neck looks surprisingly nice. Now here's the daft one. The cavity cover is a very poorly made black one. I thought I would had some single ply black sheet left from the BB424X scratchplate I made but I don't think there's enough. What I have got to hand is some pearloid bronze left from the Hofner Artist (yeah yeah, not finished either 😉). It kind of goes with the neck colours so would it be rediculous to make a rear cover from that, the front knobs are gold so all the colours tie together? Or stick with boring old black? 🤔

I'll go through them when I've got a hour or two and get some rough idea of price from ebay/discogs. I'll probably try the more valuable ones on ebay first at a decent price, if not I'll do a few bundles on facebook marketplace. Unless anyone on here is a collector. I'll pay my subs first. I'm not looking to make a load of money as it feels quite horrible picking through someone's belongings to see what's worth money. But if I just give them away then sure as hell someone else will make a profit. It would be nice to find someone who would like them for themselves and do a sensible deal for both parties. Unfortunately I might make you take the Sigue Sigue Sputnik album that's in there as well. 😉 I've also got a load of old gramophone records that belonged to the dad of the chap who's left me the punk records. Heavy as hell and 10"(?) by the looks of it. Probably not worth anything but a shame to just ditch. I've just realised this is beginning to look like a for sale thread, it wasn't meant that way.

Ha ha ha, you gotta love a chancer. The Pistols interview picture disc.

Two basses have already caught my eye, but I haven't made a move on either of them. Things are looking good. Although I have got nearly nine hours before 2022. 🤔

SP and PiL picture discs are prohibited from sale as well. I don't know why.

@BigRedX, I've just tried to search for a couple and there are about fifty versions of Nevermind The Bollocks. A few other ones listed are banned from sale on there, good old Sex Pistols 😄.

Just had a look on Discogs, the white label PiL one is in the wrong sleeve, I have the correct purple sleeve with a different 12" version in. It says £40/£50. Exactly why I didn't want to just offload it all to a local record shop. Thanks @joeystrange. 🙂👍

I've been left a couple of cases full of records. It's mostly 70s punk and 80s post punk, centred mainly around anything Sex Pistols/PiL related. I'm not sure I want to keep it but don't want to just give it away if there's something valuable lurking in amongst it. What's the best way of finding out what's rare and what's not? Several 12" singles as well, mainly PiL and Gaye Bikers Here's a sample of some of it. Picture discs, the GBOA one still has the poster and sticker inside, and is bright green, the sleeve is orange. The punk collection has a little sticker next to the price sticker which says 'very rare'? 12" white label PiL 'The Body'. Any ideas or help appreciated. 🙂👍

Well that's odd, because as soon as I saw the OPs picture Travis Bean popped into my head. It must've been a subliminal Rats connection.

Didn't the Boomtown Rats bassist use a Kramer? I remember the headstock from Rat Trap on TOTP years ago.

🙂👍 If I was paying attention I'd have remembered that. I just got all excited looking at the picture above. 😁

Go get 'em Floyd!

The seller probably doesn't even them. Buy from Thomann, photograph at home, and return to Thomann free of charge. List on ebay for free. If someone does actually buy one, then just order from Thomann again and get it sent straight to buyers house.

Cough. Matching headstock. Cough. 🙊

I had the space so went mad 760 mm deep by just over 4m long. It's actually two plain fire doors screwed down to a frame. The doors are pretty solid and plenty firm enough for my needs. I made it quite tall as I hate stooping over, I have a large standard height desk on another wall if I need a lower workspace. It sounds nice having around 5.5 metres of workbench, but I have about a metre of workbench at the moment and 4.5 metres of clutter. One thing I missed out on which I didn't even know I needed, but since seeing it know I do, was an old architect/artwork chest of drawers, the sort you used to see in schools. The drawers are massive but shallow, perfect for bass project in each drawer. It was only £50 but I was too slow. Any others I've seen have been stupid money.

Offshore Banking Business - The Members

Conversely I know the Zombies version well, but couldn't say if I've ever heard the Santana version. What do I know though? I like the UK Subs version.

If I hadn't bought so much lately I'd be very tempted. I liked the blue they did them in but they haven't got that anyway.

Flick of the Wrist - Queen

Signed up to the 'Gear Abstinence' thread yesterday. See this today! 😬
