Ah yes, this is true, the text you type in a normal reply box is saved by your browser and has nothing to do with the forum (specifically), other than the ID of the post you are replying to. On my machine they are contained within a database in my user profile area, this is on a PC, but it is browser and OS dependant.

Unfortunately not, as I do not understand what you are reffering to, or what process you are having issues with. Where are you writing this text, how would you be expecting to save it, and where would you expect it to be available for acceptance or deletion after relogging in?

So it turned up today, my £63 (inc shipping) bass. Took it out of the box, and out of its gig bag (not great, but.. £63 and it has one, which is more than many do) and marvelled at how really green it was, seriously more green than the pictures. Really nice dark neck, a bit thicker than I would like ideally but ok. Good frets Tuned it up (tuners are ok), and played. It plays well, very impressed. I haven't plugged it in yet, that is tonights thing (comes with a lead too). Knobs feel solid (more solid than the ibanez EHBs). All in all its pretty amazing what you get. I will give it a try at a gig at some point, although they are a bit thin at the moment

This one:

Which one was that?

I must admit that uniquely amoung basses that I have used, the detuned E seems a bit too loose on the ric, which is a pain as they have such odd specific sizes (which it didn't have when I got it, it had 100-80-60-40, which didn't fit well), and I think the E is snug enough that I doubt I could get a wider string in there.

Well, it should be fit for purpose for a period that would be reasonable of its type, which probably in this case is at least 3 years. However, as it is a refurbed unit I am not sure how that plays out

I thought it was repaired really well, but then the guy is an organ repairer. I never saw the jazz bass, wasn't it hot chocolate? Still, plenty of jazzes around! Sort of coincidently as last week I had watched a whole video of a rhodes bass piano being serviced, which was way more interesting than I expected.

I just have the one ric - well, 2 but one is a 5. So are they all the BT-5? I asked BTN music who until recently had one, but no such luck. At the moment it is not too bad as I am only using it in drop D, so I take a 5 string and the ric drop D'd, but it would be handy,

Yeh, and guess which one I have been looking for, the only bass I want to drop tune!

Oh look, its feb.. "HI Woody, Thanks again for ordering your new gear from Bax Music. We've got great news! Your order has left our warehouse and is on its way to the courier."

Glad it worked in that time, but no, I don't think so. Its not some dodgy product off aliexpress (although I have had some great things from aliexpress). If they could only be used for a few hours a day the internets would be full of bad reviews and they really aren't - I looked at reviews as it is something I would maybe consider if my X18 ever died (although I have an XR16 too). I have had my X18 on for over 16 hours without any problems, and that is what I would expect from yours.

WHSmiths? Not unless you happen to be an airport these days!

Absolutely - if you buy online you get a lot of protections that you don't have in a shop, regardless of price.

Hmm.. not sure of the relevance as punk didn't try to do what the conservatories were doing, but cheaper, it produced a new form of music. whereas the AI thing is to produce the music without needing the people of the punk and the conservatories at least on recorded materials.
