The shareholders are a good mix though.

That's understandable, but not the three tuning pegs aka shiny things at the end of the long lined thing one of the wriggly things attached to the top of the centre blob thing rests on.

Can you explain how it comes up with so many three banger Fenders?

There is a problem to say "Brexit shagged it" without the detail. That's political. If you say, "since the UK became an independent tax regime there is now a lot more paperwork for me to get a simple job done", that's your truth and nobody is going to have a problem with it.

@Steve Browning might like to enlighten us what bureaucratic hoops a UK shop would need to jump through to do a one off export sale.

If France is like NZ there would be VAT to pay on the shipping fee paid even with it attracting VAT already.

Just a guess, but if they are all so sorted with tracks it may be that they have the facility to record your efforts at your jams. Maybe you compare well and they nix the bass track after you get up to speed. It would have to be very well paid for me to put all the work in and still be expected to mime it.

If VAT is 20% then it is 1/6th of the sake price.

You are saying the exact same thing! The sales tax is collected along the production path but not compounded. Each stage only pays in the tax on the increase in value from when they brought it into their books. That way at the end when it is consumed the purchaser is paying the whole amount of sales tax due to all the added value. The last link in the production pays on his share to add to what the government got from previous links. The sum being what the consumer paid.

"Get on up, get on up, like a...".... or not. Put me in the neurodiverse group.

The important thing is the local sales tax regime is nothing to do with what the exporting party charges to export the identical product.

Kinda. An importer of widgets, that go into his doofers which are sold domestically and exported, pays an import tariff on widgets. All the other stuff going into his doofers from local sources he pays GST on. He gets a credit on the GST paid. He charges GST on local sales and gets to keep the credit. He gets no GST credit on the tariff paid but charges GST on it. He gets to claim the tariff as an expense against profits. The doofers that are exported garner a GST credit for the GST that was paid in their production. No GST is embodied. The tariff may stay embodied unless a new mechanism is introduced. It is a cost of production. I was about to get to that, but yeah, local sales tax is on everything, ON TOP of any tariffs.

There is a big gap in your appreciation of VAT and sales taxes. There ic no equivalence in a tatriff!!!! A block of NZ butter sells for whatever PLUS GST in NZ. GST is our sales tax. When that same block of butter is sold in the EU it gets sold wlfir whatever plus TARIFF plus VAT. No GST.

VAT is a consumption tax. If something is exported it is not consumed. If VAT were put on an export it would be a tax on foreign consumption.

Good thing you asked before hooking it all up and letting the magic smoke out.

Look where economic cooperation with Russia is getting us.

That's from 2020.

Nobody wants to see your bass face.

Trace advised the SMX preamp as putting out enough at '4' to fully drive an amplifier. They provided extra gain in case a low sensitivity amp was encountered. Turning it past 4 won't get any more out of a Trace amp.

The engineers managed to insist on end feet but no promotional photo ever saw a magazine with it deployed in the vertical.

Thankfully it's two total. At the rate his cronies are attempting total destruction of the civil service I wouldn't put anything past him. The only thing holding him back is the civil service pushing back with civil injunctions and Judges agreeing. The Supreme Court is well stacked so the rest of the Judiciary are going to have to be right on their game. They will be holding it all back years and years deferring decisions and requiring more information before it ever gets to the Supreme Court.

Pluck with 2nd and third fingers.

The drummer used to have difficulty getting the countoff tempo correct in the heat of a big gig. I would have to wave him off if he was too far adrift. This time he counted it off double time and foxed me. Trouble ensued as the deps we use had the opportunity to pretend they weren't familiar and show off by playing it double time. Then the singer comes in, looking like a deer in the headlights but sounding like a member of The Chipmunks, trying to get all the words out instead of walking off. We finished hardly any slower than we started, shrugged, and carried on. To his credit the drummer bought a tablet for keeping it all under control from that day forward.

If you dropped the 2nd shelf after angling the guitars a bit more I reckon you could get another row of shortscales in it and have toom left over.

Halfway is full volume on slightly later ones.
