[quote name='Big Dave' post='131126' date='Jan 31 2008, 09:16 AM']Yeah I guess I'll just have to try a few. I am partial to fish and chips back home and I live 2000 miles from the ocean. Are the prices on the Bass Centre website correct. If they are I am sorry for all of you. I can get an EHX Big Muff for about $80 and that website has them for £85 so thats what $170? Jesus! And a Tech 21 Sansamp Bass driver DI is $200 here and £179 there. Wow I should just fill up a suitcase with American made effects pedals. Are there strict laws regarding knives there as there are laws regarding guns? I generally alwas carry a folding knife with about a 10cm blade on it and I wouldn't want to get in trouble for carrying a conceled weapon or something like that. Thanks for the heads up on luthiers to watch out for. I have always been a kind of out of the box musician so I have never really owned any custom instruments. I would really hate to come home with a high end piece of sh*t.[/quote]
Well, if I were you I'd bring say a Stingray, a Lakland, a Jazz, a Precision AND a suitcase full of pedals - after all you are hoping to jam with your friends here
+1 for the blades - the legal limit is a 7.62mm blade and it has to be a folding knife - no lock knives, switchblades or daggers. Cops are usually ok about a leatherman with a locking blade as long as you have a 'reasonable excuse' for carrying it - i.e. a gigging musician and it's in a toolkit etc.
If I lived in Brighton I'd show you around, drink some proper english ale and find the best damn chippy in the town
