YES! Good choice. I wish I had thought of that myself. Heeheehee.

I chased Rough Trade this afternoon and they said it was now showing a "Deleted". Their chap said that could mean that Proper Music had sold their stock but the disc might still be available... I tried to contact MIG but the listed 'phone number seems broken. I have filled out a message form on their site and am waiting to see if they respond.

I'd never have guessed... Great looking strap.

Black for me too. I suppose I could get used to the white body but I don't think it works as well for two tone music. Of course, A strong yellow body would be excellent.

I'm oscillating with excitement. (Shhh! Nobody tell Henry Cole about this or he'll start buying up the rest of the unwanted cabs for his "upcycling" TV program.)

On collective nouns - BEFORE AFTER

Will do. Although Rough Trade's Nottingham shop lists it, we all know that it is an optimist who would take that at face value. Fortunately, I am one but I will believe it when I see it spinning on my deck. No need for apologies. Much appreciated all the same.

Update. HMV aren't willing to deal with me in real life (by telephone). Rough Trade in Nottingham is the next best option and they are going to let me know on Monday if they can hold it for me at their shop. It's a bit more expensive but for the luxury of cutting out most of the digital feckwittery, it should be worthwhile.

Welcome Fugazi. You're not the first new member I've heard saying something similar. I sure you won't be the last. We thrive on humour here. We have to. If we didn't laugh about the way things are today we'd have to cry instead. Who has time for that? Enjoy.

BIG woof! Two eighteens? I want them at ear level either side of my head, heeheehee, instant brain liquidiser.

Welcome Mark. Zoom B3 owner here. I am slightly overwhelmed (as a hobby bassist) by the seemingly infinite combinations that this relatively simple multi effect unit is capable of. I have really only scratched the surface with what it can do. I am encouraged to hear that the brand is used by working musicians as you describe above. If you ever feel inclined, I'd love to see a post on how you would use it. Good point regarding affordable, yet playable instruments. Check out the Build Diaries. There is a lot of interesting stuff, from workable bodges to complete builds of boutique standard. Enjoy.

I hope you can do a build thread for the cab to drawer storage conversion. I promise not to throw rotten fruit.

This is the sort of band that makes it worth getting spruced up for a night out. Keep up the good work all ye.

Not yet Peter, I haven't been into Derby lately. When I go next I will see what HMV say. Also, I'm waiting for next month's income minus Council Tax, Water Rates etc before I can do much else. Don't worry. If there is one to be had I will find it.

Bill Of Materials? Welcome to the forum K.

I haven't tried it personally but I think with patience and careful control of the heat source (soldering iron @Andyjr1515?) it is less work than filling and gives you a better result. Ought to be cheaper too.

They look a lot like indentations. That means it should be possible to steam the exposed grain and restore the surface prior to re-coating - no filler required. i think @Andyjr1515 has done this repair a time or two.

I like that. It works well for you.

Hooray! A hat trick from Dom! Perhaps there is a kind member who would help Dom repost those pictures off of Farceberk for those of us who just use this site. Going for oak eh Dom? Good on yer!

Seconded.

I'm not going to the 'states until I've tried all the local record shops. Heeheehee. Regards to Bournemouth. I spent many dirty weekends there when I still had 'nuff lead in me pencil.

Yes. I may try that if you don't get a satisfactory response from MIG. Cheers.

Drop it off at mine and I'll take good care of that for you. You can have it back for the weekend (...not saying which one mind).
