Money, it’s a gas. Hmmm, whilst I accept gas may have an intrinsic value and money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, I do not accept money can currently be a substance possessing perfect molecular mobility..

“I who have nothing” sang the lady. Sorry but you either have the wherewithal to pay for studio time or a kind benefactor who paid for you. I won’t even go into you having vocal chords etc etc.

Sun arise early in the morning? Perhaps not one for this thread but, no sh*t Sherlock!

One for the older crowd. It is highly unlikely you will teach the world to sing, no matter how many people use Zoom. Even then “in perfect harmony”? No not going to happen. Whilst we are here, note I do not live in a yellow submarine. That song is therefore also a terminalogical inexactitude.

FYI I have just received a new mic cable from designacable and it came with a card. The card promises 5% cheaper pricing than other marketplaces (I ordered via Amazon) and free UK delivery on all orders over £ 7.50. Worth also noting for some, they also do click and collect from their place in Nottingham. If OBBM cannot supply what you want now, perhaps worth looking at www.designacable.com

The house may be poor examples but it does not change the impact and effect of caveat emptor.

If the sale was by a private individual, fraud etc may possibly come into play, however under caveat emptor which is a part of English Law, yes, you the buyer are responsible to spot it was not a Fender. It is your fault. If this was a sale by a business, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) would come into play alongside various consumer protection laws giving you the protection the buyer would want. I do not believe Distant Selling Regulations apply to a private sale either, but am prepared to be advised on that. Two examples taken from the internet are: "An early illustration of this principle relates to the 1523 sale of a horse which could have been either tame or “wylde”. In the second case the seller would not be responsible, as: 'caveat emptor beware thou byer'. A more recent example is the 2004 case of Sykes v Tyler Rose. A couple in Yorkshire discovered via a TV documentary that the previous occupant of their house had brutally murdered his adoptive daughter there. They took the seller to court, claiming that they should have been told this before the sale. The judge was sympathetic but rejected their claim - it was up to them to find out about the house’s history if this was important to them."

Why would you ply it with Stew? A Pot Roast perhaps but never a Stew. 😀

That is for business sales. Private sales are subject to buyer beware or “caveat emptor” to use the legal expression.

On the basis I already look 8 months pregnant, I am not sure that is a good idea. 😲 😁

I have to say that for me having a lined fretless is pointless (although my fretless is lined) as I simply cannot see the lines on the fretboard at all. I can only see the side of the neck.

The corollary of that being " you must be a really great player to have spent that much on a bass"

I suspect not of anything newly current right now but a nice thought.

I am still using my original Audiolab 8000 bits from approx 28 years ago plus Wilson Benesch Orators from 19 years ago (edited as my wife correctly pointed out it was 2001; the year I had a heart attack - I came out of hospital, picked these up the following day, collapsed due to the strain of lifting them (48kgs each) and went straight back to hospital that same day for another two weeks). Always loved the Mission Cyrus stuff however.

Will do. I think we will be on plywood or similar covered pallets.

Gone, sorry.

Just dialled down the bass and upped the mids and treble and currently in Bill Withers heaven along with the Dingwall. I have registered as am very keen to get the latest "fat valve" update.

New amp day for me, mostly driven through boredom as I was not totally unhappy with my previous main head. I wanted a change, however, and so here it is: I have yet not had a chance to really play with it and it will take some time to dial in what I need through my BF Big Twin II. My Glockenklang Blue Rock was a little "stiff" in feel, but boy could it play a good clean sound and quite loudly when asked for; this is definitely a muddier and more bass heavy, albeit a bit more alive, which is what I am after. The Glock is also a much better build quality but also much heavier due to the huge power parts. This is physically much smaller. This is 1200 watts the Glock was 1000. Both at 4 ohms. My next gig will be a post lockdown picnic for the village, in a field with no PA or FOH. This should be able to be heard!

“Good Boys Deserve Food Always” and “All Cows Eat Grass” was taught to me at an early age.

I am a big Designacable fan. Never let me down yet.

😀 Indeed.

Thanks Prowler.

Thank you. I appreciate the sizes are the shaft size, it was working out which ones I need. I will look at the hole size and go from there.

I am thinking of changing the tuners on my Sire to Hipshot Ultralight but see they come in two different sizes: 1/2" and 3/8". Is the size I need the one closest to the hole size drilled in the head? Never done this before and this would seem logical but am concerned it may a trick description.

Sunny Wales? Are you sure? Welcome from a lapsed Welshman.
