No. The price now includes VAT and all charges. I’ve bought a few things from them recently. The only thing now is you can’t track your item until it reaches the UK.

It looks nice. I don’t actually like the pickups anyway, I’d get someone to build new cases using a nice piece of figured ebony, it would probably match better. It’s got to be worth a train ride over.

She’s fabulous. She often has some great musicians playing with her. Anthony Jackson was in her recent band, previously she had Tony Grey on bass, and David Fiuczynski on guitar.

Strings direct are excellent, as are Bass direct.

As if trading between the UK and EU wasn’t already difficult and more expensive than it used to be. PayPal are introducing a new charge on transactions between the UK and the EU from November. It’s for businesses - at the moment - so won’t effect private sales, but will possibly push up the price of buying from shops there/here. I wonder if it’ll apply to Bandcamp purchases? I know of several small labels here and in Europe that have given up selling across the channel. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58492953?fbclid=IwAR3Xc9KLEr2cZqq0dw1l96-Ea7dzMz5mVf9QDxvvhBHXpZk_1Q0au_4mYK8

At the moment they’re not doing any repair or mod work on other makes. I’ve been using their services for years, and contacted them to do some work on my W&T 6 string, they wouldn’t do it, they’re just too busy building instruments.

Nice. I get mine back from Tim Toft on Tuesday.

I’m not a fan myself, but any band that can write a hit song about the classic Indian dish chicken tikka has to be good.

That’s me too. Consequently I always try and avoid phone calls. My phone is permanently set to ‘do not disturb’. People who know me know to text instead. Glad you got a response. I played a Stingray with a Status neck a few years ago, it really was wonderful.

He did some lovely stuff with Tracey Chapman too.

Moseley violins in Birmingham quoted me almost £300 to fit adjusters. There’s a place in Oxfordshire quoted me £100, I’d already dropped it into Tim Toft though.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve taken it to a place in Stone, Staffordshire. They’ve quoted me a very reasonable £130 to fit adjusters to the existing bridge.

Where are you playing Thomas?

I believe the note was photoshopped in later.

I use either IReal Pro or ForScore.

I haven’t tried that. I do like their Plant kitchen range. I’ll check it out 🙏.

I’m sure it would have told you in the first minute if it had been vegan, you should send it back.

I’m put off by the fake meat things you can buy, they just don’t look appealing - probably too realistic? I’ve tried a few of the vegan cheeses and really don’t like them. Saying that though, I bought a tub of Sainsbury’s vegan soft cheese today to use in a cheesecake. It’s made from coconut, so hopefully should work well.

I had been vegetarian since my early teens when I switched to veganism. The hardest part for me was stopping eating cheese.
