Think it must be a typo, there is a 1005sms and a 1505ms, not a 1505sms https://www.andertons.co.uk/ibanez-ehb1005smsemm-ehb-5-string-bass-in-emerald-green-metallic-matte https://www.andertons.co.uk/ibanez-ehb1505ms-plf-5-string-bass-in-pacific-blue-burst-flat

So you are ok if you are a shadows tribute then?

The vaccine news is good, but I suspect not may. If I check out the vaccine roll out and the groups in line to get it, I am due to get it it about mid may, because I am in my 50s. Assuming that all goes well, it means most of the audience aren't due to get it until autumn. And if they do this half dose thing, then it isn't going to be totally effective, so who knows. It would be nice if I can do gigs in the later part of 2021

Err.. yes, we noticed, just up there ^

I am not sure they hate, just don't see the point of.

Well, I looked at statistica and it had gone down from 1.2m to 1.1 up to 2019, but that is as far as the data has gone. Then I looked at Reuters, The latest Morgan McKinley Spring London Employment Monitor, which details hiring trends across Britain’s financial industry, showed the number of job-seekers fell by almost a third in the three month period from April, with available jobs plunging by 72% year-on-year in that month alone. maybe some of that is pandemic, hard to say, although comparable figures for Frankfurt are up in the same period I would like that car please certainly sir, you can drive it away now oh but I want it red, and with wider tyres, and no roof and only two seats and a smaller engine, and I want be shorter but that would take a long time to do Hey everyone, the car shop is bullying me to stop me having what I want! -- if a deal is already written up, it can be just used. As it took the negotiations 3 months to shave 6 months of the reduction time in fishing rights, a separate deal would have taken a long time.

I think visa free travel is free to anyone who has a reciprocal arrangement in place, which we refused. So we don't get it. The UK seems to have a strange view in these discussions that the EU should grant them rights that it is not prepared to echo, just because we once had the same rules. Such as your question on Equivilance. The reason that they wont (indeed, can't) grant us equivilence is that we refuse to be bound by the rules on equivilence. It is irrelevant that our rules are similar to theirs now when we have made it clear we want to change them as and when we want to and won't accept the standard arbitration method. We have demonstrated quite clearly if we don't like the rules we are happy to break them. And lets face it, its not like they need to. Our financial jobs are flooding away to their countries, so its not like it is that important for them.

This was actually part of the Canada deal documenation, but it appears in other places too*, so I assume it is what is meant by their musician visa. It is different to the tourist visa as it allows you to earn money, and the definitiion of musician was quite wide to cover support crues etc. * It is on the EU website, which is pretty hard to navigate (or maybe it isn't if you know how it is structured).

I had developed gas for those, which is why I searched for and found Quillys thread and brought it back to life! I think I saw it on an advert for G4M

Just looking on the EU website, there is a touring visa which allows non EU nationals to travel in the shengen area for 90 days without additional requirements. So I assume this is what was offered. It is a lot easier to offer something you have already established the rules for.

Which to me sounds like they didn't want to roll the standard contract out, they wanted to wrap up touring musicians with business travellers, which I don't think is the same sort of thing, and would have complicated it. Seems very much - here is our standard cut and paste musicians scheme we already do for the rest of the world, can we have that - yes / no. Not like they had any other time to negotiate as it had been left so long I have met DJs who believe they fit in the musician category. Obviously free to talk about what you want, but we have done the vaccine and covid to death in other threads, and to avoid al riding in here on his spitfire to save us, can we sort of have a thread where we can talk about touring musician issues rather than end up at the same (locked) thread about b*xit?

That sounds like the sort of thing I was hoping for. I would not expect huge quality at that price. But couldn't justify more on something I don't use much

It will take more than brexit to make amazon pay tax!

I am kind of interested in these at the moment - are they as massive as they look and after a few months playing it, how did it go?

That doesn't preclude the burning though...

I know the problem, f and g are next to each other and writing 'buffered' has caught me out more then once

Mabye more fibre optic and less perspective?

Trust me, with a connection to british retailers, there is absolutely nothing good in this for them, unless they are amazon sized, then they are going to clear up.

No, this shows how poorly gibson has handled all takeovers. Takeovers in general are not always that bad, a lot of the big names now only got that way because they were taken over. Just gibson have a very bad history. Maybe they will be better as they have someone new in charge, we will have to see if that has made a large culture change.

No need to apologise, I am not complaining, I am pointing out that there is obviously something with my communication that I need to look at.

It is an indication that I need to communicate better, as I thought I said the same thing. Maybe I should be more consise.

It had no meaningful presense on the DAW market, or the electronic music market, or the drum market, but it didn't stop it killing products there

And opcode and cakewalk, and kramer and a load of other companies.
