I absolute despise haggling. If I'm selling something I list it at the price I want. If someone tries to knock down the price I can't be arsed dealing with them. Similarly if I'm buying something and the price is fair I'll pay it no questions asked. If I think something is overpriced I'll just simply ignore it.

"Refurbished". "Recently replaced strings" If the rest of the refurb is as good as the string replacement it's worth about a fiver.

The Vox VT stuff is really good and you can dial in pretty much any sound you like. Not strictly a valve amp but had a valve pre and makes some lovely noises. Can be picked up pretty cheaply too. But fair warning. If you go for the 2x12 version it weighs about the same as a bungalow.

Good question. I have a very bad memory and very little musical theory knowledge so it always takes me ages to learn a new song. I look forward to hearing the advice of the more seasoned players here.

Behringer. 😂

Sorry for the misunderstanding. It was my idea of a joke in response to Geek99's post saying "you don't have to be a grumpy old man on this site", and nothing to do with you joining. The welcome was incidental. 😁

Ahem! Are you sure you've read the site terms and conditions correctly? Welcome Suezee. 😉

I've heard mostly good things about Markbass. I just can't get over the *pimped by Halfords" look of them. They're the musical equivalent of an Essex boys hatchback.

You don't need beer for that. But I need lots of beer to make my playing sound as good as everybody else. Of course to everyone else it's also dependent on the amount of beers they've drunk.

No but it looks like something a gay Klingon would play. 😂

Me too. If it was also less ugly, a different shape and a nicer colour.

I'd rather have one cheap Harley Benton and lots of beer.

Extremely easy. There are a few English in the village already so the locals are used to us and our quirky ways and are extremely friendly.

I'd be more worried if it was the other way around. 😂

As some of you may (or may not) know. I live in deepest darkest rural Bulgaria in a small village with only about 300 people. So imagine my delight when I recently met a guy from the UK who's just bought a house in my village, who is not only a guitarist but also a qualified sound engineer and has his own recording studio in the UK. He's planning on bringing all his gear over soon which comprises of everything you would expect from a good recording studio, including a live state set up. Loads of instruments, several drum kits, mics, and lots of old valvey goodness amps. I think he's going to be my new best friend. 😆

Yes indeed. But they disappeared for a good few years. I wonder why they decided to reproduce them? There was some muppet trying to sell one for a grand and a half on eBay. 🤣

I don't think I've listened to any kind of charts since the unbeatable lyrical genius of 2 Unlimited. "No no. No no no no. No no no no. No no there's no limits." It just doesn't get any better than that.

That must be what they've been concentrating on for the past few weeks instead of stocking up on existing models. I've had a hankering for a cheap HB acoustic bass for a local drop in jam session I've been frequenting. But there isn't a single bloody one on Thomann's website other than a travel bass and a uke bass. 🤬

I was about to roll my eyes at yet another tort scratchplate thread. But that looks mint!

We've had a similar thread on here before and it absolutely amazed me how many people on this here forum couldn't care less about lyrics. For me it's the most important part of any song. Any idiot can make someone dance. To move them to tears. That takes talent.
