Surveys huh! What are they good for? Marketing 'bots, that's what. And they say the BBC is non commercial. Cuh! Actually that looks like a fair balance. I wonder what the remaining one percent wanted though? More coverage of polo for the horsey set? More egg blowing competitions for hipsters? A new channel called BBCs and GILFs?

Welcome Hugh.

Sky Arts 23:00 - 00:20 Tonight Thursday 16th Oct 2025 Ian Dury and the Blockheads... Hold on to your Structure. "The Blockheads perform live from the Hammersmith Odeon in 1985"

There is no harm in asking. It's a matter of how much of your time you want to spend pursuing it. If he doesn't respond favourably then at least you've tried. It's probably not worth twenty knicker to make a bigger thing out of it. Depends on how hungry the kids are, I suppose. One thing is certain. You can't give it back for a refund. It was your choice to go ahead with the project having asked for advice about it here. I don't think I'd waste time other than to mark the seller's card in some fashion. That way you know to be cautious if he crops up again with something you like.

Man that looks geeky. In a good way, you understand. It's beautifully uncomplicated in appearance. I bet it looks good with all the valves warmed up and the lights down. Why do you need a top handle? It's asking for the whole unit to be mishandled if you aren't there. Side handles would mean a two handed lift which is less likely to result in knocks or worse. Just a feeling you understand, I'd feel safer. Plus, you'd get to keep a nice clean top on it. Great build thread. Thanks for sharing.

I will be travelling light. Probably just the Ray34, my YamaCore bitsa, a Zoom B3 and a small combo. Let's keep it in mind and decide fully nearer the time. Cheers!

Depending on the amount of gear involved, are you interested in a ride share? My car or yours, mine's a five door Corolla. PM me if so.

Do I get a horse to go with the promotion Your Majesticness? I'll settle for a Moto Guzzi V100 if you need to save on stable fees...

Ni.

We have the Enoch Stone. It is a memorial to a disabled man of that name who was fatally attacked on his way home to Spondon from Derby in 1856. They call these markers Murder Stones. They are laid where the tragedies occurred. I haven't used it as a stage name but I was going to write a song about him for a local producer before the deal fell through. By then I had done some research about the 49 year old framework knitter and musician. It is an interesting case that was never solved. It would be nice as a respectful nod to a disabled family man who was a musician for someone to adopt it. Maybe I will one day. I'd just go by Enoch and my band would be called The Murder Stones. The Murder of Enoch Stone.

I admire your tenacity. This makes it a more interesting project too.

The embossed legend is enough to put most folk off anyway. It's a cheap and nasty Steiny rip-off. That's going by the number of users that I have read criticising it.

Welcome Laura.

That's like, so_____ cool.

@Frank Blank has frequently been jumped upon by Icelandic air hostesses or so we're told...

Watch out Pino! That's as nice a rendition of that bassline as I have ever heard. ...And I'm not just creeping because you are, well, Ped.

Somebody please tell me the band was originally called Big John Thomas and the Budgie Smugglers but was shortened so that the name would only take up one line on the label of a 45.

My stage name is Bob Gerroff!

Coo Ca Choo baby.

Do you need any cash up front Richard?

Is it signed by your good self? Y'know... for added value.

Hello Sté! Re-welcome.

I would never try to impose my moral values on another adult. Heeheehee. I am interested to hear how longer term owners of this feature feel about it too. For me, an LED based set of side markers would be perfect... if not for having to remember to carry spare batteries. On an active bass it wouldn't be much extra to remember, yet I would rather keep some consistency between my lot. Like you, I would prefer not to have to carry a special torch. It more than cancels out the advantage of having no battery for the side dots if you still need to remember to carry both the torch and its batteries.

Do you like them? More importantly, are they useful on stage?
