I send lots of stuff by rm international standard (airmail) - rarely gets lost

I’m guessing the red splashes are blood, right ?

So go back and snap it right now ... you can claim it was an accident, defective timber or (with an air of sulkiness) “it was that router wot done it”. No one will ever know

I’m a programmer by trade and it was the worst interface design I’ve ever encountered

Whisky sauce ? why not just drink the whisky ?

I have an sr16 and that was a total pig to program

Yes, random Intermediary couriers are a common hazard

Yep - had just the same experience except they also smashed mine up. It had to go back to prosebass to get repaired at my expense

Parcelforce will charge you for insurance but don’t actually cover instruments except under very strict conditions - like it’s shipped in a purple flight case, on a Tuesday and has a sign saying (exactly) “beware of the leopard” I’ve had no trouble with UPS @chris_b inter parcel are not a courier, but rather a broker- you could end up with Hermes... I’ve also had a very negative experience with Menzies recently where I now won’t touch them with anyone’s barge pole

Think of it as pale magnolia 😛

I WANT one

I highly rate the 62ri versions of both J and P made in Japan - jap market versions, not even the US suffix export model the P in particular I just could not put down

Or a line of silver filigree? Maybe squeeze a bass string in ?

No - that’s an opportunity for a maple veneer feature fillet

Well that takes the biscuit ...

And before taking any incriminating photos...

Probably volume, balance between pickups, treble, midrange, bass likely the rear-most four will have center notch positions https://en.m.audiofanzine.com/misc-electric-bass/traben-bass-company/array-attack-5/user_reviews/r.28628.html

No, I’ll get your coat

You may want to read up on the zoom b2.1u multi fx which is cheap as chips and has an octaver and it runs on AA batteries or mains and it has drum patterns and a volume pedal and it’s built strongly enough to survive nuclear attack

Yes the “was delivered by Hermes” bit is just unbelievable - they lose everything. If he’d said “was despatched in error by Hermes to Reigate, in Mozambique... and claimed it to have been left in his porch” I would have found it significantly more plausible

Zooms are fine with amps - I used mine straight into the board (from a p bass) and to PA and everyone commented on the sound. I also used it into an amp, a small one, with equally good results

Go me - a freaking wooden genius

Isn’t it also called Linden? Used to be used for wooden shields as it was strong but light

Zoom b2.1u cheap as chips and awesome
