That's very nice mate, I've recently bought a 424x - they are lovely things.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1430432717' post='2761511'] Are you some distance from your office? If I had a new bass, I'd be straight down to my office.[/quote] Oooh - I wish I had time! I work all over the place, so my office is just a base really. It's 30 miles west of my house and this week I'm working east so there is zero chance of me getting anywhere near a new bass until Tuesday now, boo.

[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pj_4_htr_deluxe_series_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...series_deko.htm[/url] £25 something. [/quote] Mmmmm, if I hadn't just bought that P, I might well have bitten at this one. I haven't got it yet btw, though I had it sent to my office and haven't been there since!

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1429892868' post='2756134'] There's a more recent trend of buy-it-now or best offer.... so one can put an optimistic BIN price on it while still retaining the option to sell if a sensible offer comes in. [/quote] This is what I do, sold lots of stuff this way. If you price realistically then items can sell really quickly too - no waiting around for your auction to finish. My old iPhone 4 was listed, sold and paid for in twenty minutes.

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1430078442' post='2757825'] This is utterly mental, and therefore one of the most entertaining things I've read on here in a long time... [/quote] Is there a 'thread of the year'? This surely has to be a candidate. Working at an airport, we get our share of complaints about noise, mostly from the elderly of Shoreham-by-Sea. Bootsy - I think you are going to do us an enormous favour and kill most of them off when this cab gets loose :-) so thank you in advance.

Uh-oh, I've had the 'shipped' email... It's coming!

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1429914433' post='2756428'] What did you buy?[/quote] [quote name='Vixivi' timestamp='1429914592' post='2756429'] btw: P bass listed as sold out[/quote] By the looks of it, the last P. €36 delivered. I've just looked on my account page and the order isn't showing, so maybe I missed the boat anyway. We'll see what e-mails I get next week. In order to extend my life somewhat, I have specified my office as the delivery address...

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1429911081' post='2756387'] Loads of Dekos! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/decorative_guitars_and_basses.html"]http://www.thomann.d...and_basses.html[/url] [/quote] Look, I know it's not [i]strictly[/i] your fault, but I've bloody gone and bought another one! If my Mrs finds it, I'm dead.

Self-adhesive Velcro pads on the amp feet?

Parcelmonkey is just an online booking service for other couriers. They're not a courier company in their own right are they? Or are they? I've shipped stuff round the world using their site and not had a problem.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1429824621' post='2755422'] APC will take anything. I've used them to ship 100lb 4x10 cabs in the past. [/quote] Another vote for APC, I use them pretty much every day for everything. However I have used DX Freight (via Parcelmonkey) when I shipped my Peavey 1516E, she was 50-odd kilos. Overnight in the UK was about £20.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1429747565' post='2754625'] [/quote] So let me get this straight, you bought a very expensive bass [i]and[/i] your Mrs is still smiling... She's a keeper mate. (and it's a lovely bass, but you didn't really need telling that by the looks of it )

It's sparkly pink - how could it not be bloody fantastic!

[quote name='bootsy666' timestamp='1429469857' post='2751695'] Do you live near shoreham? [/quote] I work at Shoreham airport. Sometimes it just [i]feels[/i] like I live there!

This is turning into an epic build thread :-) I can't wait to see and, given our apparent proximity, probably hear the finished beast! Good on you for building something wild, it's a corker.

Last time I came home from the US the limit before duty was payable was about £140 iirc. I declared what I had bought and was a bit over that, so I had to pay duty on the rest.

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1428959275' post='2746511'] Just noted where you live - luckily I am at a safe distance when you undertake tests. [/quote] Uh-oh, I'm not! I work in Shoreham. Bye everyone, it's been fun...

Holy Moly Batman, that's a cab. It won't be flapping your trousers - they'll be off down the street on their own!

Hi Josh, Welcome to the mad-house!

Awesome. I've just read most of this thread, what a corker! Hi Tim, welcome to the mad-house.

I reckon that's well worth the current price... 99p

LPB all the way.

I've got a new one... 'I pulled the trigger' Grrrrrrr, you mean 'I bought', don't you? My response is to ask whether anyone was injured.
