I’ve just nutted the server tower, has that helped?

Maybe when I can get someone to figure it out - I tried to put them in there but it made keeping track of orders a right pain so decided to keep it separate!

It’s mostly because the bulk shipper I use only offers UK service (always have). If I sell internationally I’d have to use a second service for those which will be more expensive and trickier to organise this end - I’m not ruling it out though and may well add that option in the future 👍🏼

Hehe I'll be sending you some with the first batch!

https://www.basschatlocks.co.uk Now available for sale to UK customers only Four strap locks for £6 including postage! Being luminous orange (to match our branding) they are very hard to photograph but I think this picture shows them most faithfully. They match the orange around the logo font very well. You'll see when you order that shipping is done in batches, and collected from my house every couple of weeks, so please bear that in mind when purchasing. Here are some more pictures to tempt you, and some ideas for uses even if you hate bass guitars and strap locks in general. I actually have one on my keys! Got your strap locks? Show us a picture of yours 'in situ' here! Cheers ped

I’m thinking about charging EU scum

There’s nothing quite like it. It’s a great club but I joined shortly before starting a new job which means I can’t really go now during the week and the weekends are impossible to find any spare time. I’ve done a fair bit of flying and don’t think anything compares to the feeling of a glider. I’ve sat in the winch a few times; that’s a cool piece of kit. It’s a big V8 attached to a pulley. Sounds amazing at full revs. There are quite a few BCers around Pock actually. I did think about opening a bass shop in York at one point (easy train ride from London)

As a member of the gliding club I’ve nearly crashed into a number of businesses on the estate

Yes they’re based in the Pock industrial estate. They have a few basses (P,J and short scale versions of both) on their Instagram. It looks like lovely workmanship. Their take on the stray shape is lovely! Great to hear about them especially as they’re so close!

Surely they could have adapted the Tesco Finest range logo for this one?

Like most sellers on eBay feigning ignorance I should think he knows bloody well!

Seller sounds a bit of an arse too. But hey it’s an investment opportunity 🙄

Well they aren't likely to take an email you sent into account if they didn't reply to it in the first place - and I don't think your consumer rights are enhanced in any way by sending a written record any more than what you said down the phone. And anyway - it was a general enquiry rather than anything sinister, so personally I'd pick up the phone if I wanted the instrument enough. It is frustrating when emails go unanswered, sure - but even running BC I get a decent quantity of messages that I often flag to reply to only to find that when I remember, the issue has resolved itself or the situation has changed. I imagine Bass Direct have a lot on their plate currently and they deserve our full support.

Thanks yes I’ve messaged them and their luthier is a member here who has given me their technicians address. I’m hoping they can provide some schematics or something for a UK tech to use (although they might not need that?) I’ve bought some GK accessories like a breakout box from Keld Ampworks http://www.ampworks.co.uk/tag/pedal-repair/ So have emailed them. I’ll give Owen a try as they came as recommended also. It’s certainly worth fixing I think

Ok that’s weird. The seller messaged in the end to say sorry to hear the problem and that he’s find out how to do a refund. In the meantime my case was handed to the reverb team who have just emailed to say they have refunded me and I don’t need to return the pedal?! Not sure if that’s because the seller said ‘keep it’ or not - but strange. So do we think it’s repairable? Any ideas who might be able to have a look?

And then Warwick could copy the Spector made Sadowskys and balance would be restored

I'm not convinced this pickup screw is in properly

I had to take my shades off to be sure
