Might as well buy one now if you wanted one then, probably not going to be around long!

That is handy if your MP is someone who cares about their constituants. Mine has litterally said he doesn't, he is not interested in people who haven't voted for him, and as a member of ERG, he not only won't listen to anything which could be taken as a critisism of brexit. In addition to that, he is actually rather thick.

Its what businesses have always been crying out for, more red tape. I am glad the government have finally listened.

Maybe thats true - I have no idea whey any of them within 50 miles of me are though, so online is definately fastest.

Scott devine from scotts bass lessons - he starts everything with wassup guys

I think the only people who can really say that with a straight face are people who like want to buy a fender strat or live in London. Local music shops are for the rest of us, the reasons places like thomman and the like are so good!

I still want a behringer X-Control, although if I had one, I am nto sure how much I would use it

I presume you mean Scott, as he starts all his videos with that. Mind you, he strikes me as someone who would say that anyway.

Another of my wifes suppliers (her major supplier in fact) has contacted her saying effectively the good news is that there won't be additional tarrifs, but the bad news is that there will be more paperwork and additional shipping complexity which will be handled by their shipping partners, and the costs of that will be passed on. So its good she can still get it, remains to be seen what the cost increases are and whether they can be absorbed or if they have to be passed on. I suspect a bit of both. She has spent the morning appologising to european customers and trying to work out how to send stuff to northern ireland.

Checks youtube. <refresh> <refresh>.. well?

Not only seen it, my wife talked to some suppliers that said it wasn't worth the hassle of shipping to the UK, and that they couldn't get couries to transfer the stuff anyway for the same sort of prices that they used to. Unfortunately budget couriers are paid by the mile, not the hour, so it doesn't make economic sense for them to risk the UK.

Yep, shukers are my favourite Surprised there isn't much love for the fender X12 'flacid' headstock, especially in its new Paranormal incarnation..

String changing is easy but I haven't done the E-C thing so I don't know about that.

Yes, appologies, I didn't want to get into that but constant pushing is going to do that. Its not really an interesting subject any more (if it ever was), but is here now and I am interested in what the new rules are for shipping things between countries. I was asked last week if I could ship my thunderbird to europe, It didn't seem like a good idea

anything I do is on an big external drive if I want to keep it, easy to copy it over if you want to fiddle with it

Are you getting paid by the click Al? Although I am not interested in discussing brexit any more (just the difficulties it has imposed on me), I didn't find it highly recommended reading, or even particularly insightful, and whether it was the economic editor or something else, it was a set of points that have always been not only true but obvious being used to jump to a conclusion the points didn't indicate (in fact the points point the other way). I can't believe there is a person on the planet that says that the way that the EU has run business has been particularly good, and it is understandable a lot of people have a hard time, but a lot of that article just points to the economic issues in the UK and lays them at the feet of the EU, like the EU was something imposed on us from afar. Far from it, we were one of the big drivers of the economic integration, and had a big say at the table. In the last few years our influence has waned as we elected clowns to represent us who weren't interested in doing the job, only taking the money. To blame the EU for things like low wages and the north south divide, while very convenient for our governments is very easy - these were choices our successive governments made, and by extension, we made. No law says we have to pay farmers nothing or care workers, we liked it because it made our taxes less and we didn't care. The current government seems intent now we are unconnected with the EU to turn the UK into a low tax environment, which means less money for the people who need the help, less money for health and social care etc. That article is written from the point of view of an economic editor - ie, someone at the top of their field who is paid well and is interested in the idea of economics, but not from the point of view of someone wanting to get by. There is nothing he says that is wrong from his point of view, there is nothing in brexit that is going to keep food from his table, and the EU was always viewed here as a right wing thing, the hard left has always wanted to disconnect for protectionism. There is not going to be more money for the people at the bottom from this, there is not going to be more money for health or social care or agriculture or anything the left value, because the people in charge (and him to an extent) don't care about that. Just that there needs to be is irrelevant. Just because care homes need more money now, doesn't mean they are going to get it. They were understaffed before, they will be more understaffed now. Just means the government can get rid of protections to save money. Manufacturing isn't magically going to come back any time soon, there isn't anyone to sell our products to. Brexit is an idiological battle, one that both the left and the right share, but they have very different goals in what they want from it.

Oh yes, this is a small vs big thing. If you are a big business it is just an overhead to work out, like so many, just get someone to deal with it. If you are a small business, you just don't have the capacity. In the context of this thread, the Thommans will be ok, it's just the little guy. I am sure it will help Amazon greatly

it can be (note isn't by default) narrower at the bridge - the maths is fine. However, the GWB1 will be probably narrower at the nut. The necks of the normal SRs are narrower than the EHBs

It is - from any logical point of view, Northern Ireland is effectively in the EU and separated from us now, with a caviat that they can say they aren't. Like Gibraltar. Think it was too much for boris and he didn't care about it unlike Theresa!

Yep, there to distract the enemy while the hurricanes went up and won the battle

I went through headstock. Well, thats not so bad. Mine initially wasn't baxes fault (other than they sent me a bass with a cracked headstock), but their return process, unlike all the others I had used where someone turns up and picks it up, involve going to some shop to post it back, which they don't want to do as it is too long, then hermes losing it, then a complete lack of comms and the impossibilty of finding out what is going on. Their initial delivery wasn't too bad (a few days late, but the pandemic had just kicked in big time at that point). That was the problem I had with bax, that even when they offered a replacement, which I said yes to, deliver was in a week, then 3 weeks, then 3 months. So I said I would have a refund and got a repair.

I can't remember what the issue was, but it was a long time ago, as it was the original one which I got in about may. Would love the 6, especially if the spacing is less, just that it is not a cheap bass, and every time I get a 6 I end up not getting on with it. So until I can get a reasonable second hand its probably not worth looking, and considering supply, it might be a while before there are many second hands. In the end they replaced the neck, I know that it was the same bag with the spacing done, but the neck was a different colour (and 4 months older). I did see another one on the net that cracked the same way but I think that may have been the causes for the slow startup. I suspect Ibanez UK fixed the one that bax sent me, as I talked to them and they were actually helpful, unlike bax. But can't complain, it is upstairs, and I really enjoy playing it.

It was in the smallprint. Values of power and control can go up or down.

No, I understand the calcuations, I mean physically I couldn't get it to adjust 1.5mm

Yep - most things are easier when you know. Although I looked at her communication with HMRC on the subject and it seems that maybe that isn't true, because they didn't seem to know much either. And as you said, this is what people wanted, they were always clamouring for more red tape.
