Poopy.

We're getting a separate room for you!

I stopped going to TalkBass after they trashed their UI.

I occasionally check out a post, but I don't think I've ever managed to watch one all the way through.

Yep - the Wal doesn't sound so great.

I really like dropping in there and having a chat, but his asking prices are typically about double what I'd consider top-end.

I posted a pic of it in the FB Rickenfakers group back in August; it wasn't cheap.

...and that someone is certainly not me! 🙂

Well, if you buy off Aliexpress you do have to keep your wits about you and I certainly don't believe the branded products for sale there are genuine. However, with eBay you pay a buyer's premium (sorry, "Protection Fee"); I'd raise a dispute, citing them bein fake/not as described. Similarly, if you buy something on Amazon and a fake turns up then there's recourse by contacting their CS via chat/callback. As for Hercules wall hangers, I think there were issues with them a while back and I wouldn't have them anyway. That said, they are often used in shops.

I’ve seen Guy Pratt with his Spector. And his pink Fender.

But he said that the Rickenbacker is the best bass.

So, is relicing one equivalent to scratching your ass?

Sounds perfectly rational to me. Oh, and bloody "influencers"!

I sometimes respond with "I don't know, so I'll just sod off then!".
