That's a very, very dangerous thought you should immediately erase from your mind. Almost heresy 😉

Speaking of Andertons, they already have one of the new Euro 4 RSTs (Sundown Glow) in their clearance sale (2 in stock). Sounds like a great deal: £1,729 instead of £2,399. Quite surprising given that Spector only launched the new RST series recently: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/spector-bass-euro4rst-paulowina-body-w-flame-maple-top-sundown-glow

Sorted 😎

Good point. Fortunately, I don't have any basses that are worth 10k 🙂 BTW, for three of the four basses BC sold for me, I actually ended up with more money, even after the 20% cut, than what I had paid for them (all used basses I have to say though) 😍

Man, what a story. Almost Spinal Tap-ish ("Please assist in providing a detailed invoice listing the scientific name (genus and species), source (wild, captive) and country of origin of the mother of pearl inlay" - Really?). At least it ended well. I sell all my basses via BD. Ok, It costs me 20% but it saves me hassle like the one you experienced.

I also have to confess that "I'm tired of pretending I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars" 😎

Loser? Who is a loser? Not me, I am a winner. WINNING. WIN HERE, WIN THERE, WIN EVERYWHEREEEE

60 is the new 40! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/09/old-age-why-60-is-the-new-40

Black and maple, timeless classic 🤩

Agree, "bold and bright" immediately made me think of this recently released bass

Really? Are you sure? "Cremation takes its piece of your supply, The night is dressed like noon, A sailor spoke too soon, And China's on the dark side of the moon" Sounds good to me. Compare that to Scooter's lyrics and you will quickly realise how awesome RHCP's lyrics really are: Start the danger Rearranger Not so cool Mercy I'm the vapour On the radar Get up on the mic and shout it Yeah, move it I spit bricks got the kicks in the mix My pricks long out the rigs Party of bricks like Jackie X No diggedy diggedy HP I'm the bad boy, roll MC, so sexy Hold your back for the rhythym attack Coming down on the floor like a maniac Hold your back for the rhythym attack Get down in full effect Hold your back for the rhythym attack Coming down on the floor like a maniac Hold your track so clean up the dish By the way How much is the fish? Aaaah! I ramp, me no ramp, Me no skin, Me no play, yeah When me chant 'pon the microphone And me say with the DJ Junglists in the place Junglists on the case Scooter are you readyyy?

Man, this looks killer. Hope whoever bought it made you a great offer you just could not resist.

Just checked the "Hound of the Baskervilles" Wiki entry. There it says under "Inspiration" "Moreover, Devon's folklore includes tales of a fearsome supernatural dog known as the Yeth hound that Conan Doyle may have heard". Well, I doubt it looked anything like this, clearly bored one, though:

Wow, did not know that Black Sabbath's Paranoid is a cover of Cindy and Berd's "Hund von Baskerville" 😉 Did I spot a young Boris Johnson in the crowd?

I don't know. Maybe your example is the so-called exception that proves the rule, or your rule is a different type of rule, or I only reminder bits from my uni class. Man, it's 25 years ago, so I probably don't remember everything, don't even remember what I had for lunch today 😉 So, as the great philosopher H P Baxter once said, the question is what is the question?

I honestly did not think of politics. I just thought back to a course at university (sociology, social systems) where we discussed that a rule always includes the non following of the rules. For example, if no one ever kills anyone, then you do not need a rule or law saying that "you must not kill" in the first place. Anyway, back to finding loopholes to be able stay in the gear abstince game 😀

Yes, it is just a bit of fun and, from a philosophical perspective, it is crucial that some people break the rules as there would not be the need for a rule without any rule breaking otherwise. Breaking the rule is a requirement for the rule to exist in the first place. Think about it.

"Need more speed" - sorry, I am a bit confused. Since when is it ok to openly ask for a class A drug on BC? 😉
