Need to get Dispatches on the case if that program still operates!

Oil companies... What they've done over the years is complete and utter unfathomable bastardry.

I've also emailed the auction house just so they have it from multiple sources and don't consider one email to be enough to hold it from sale (which they absolutely should!) Hopefully this gets back in the hands of the owner! I'd still take this up with the Parcelforce CEO email addresses I provided, I'd expect decent compensation is due for the ridiculousness of how this ended up at an auction house! Fantastic spot though...

😆 Change your tone man, your tone is all wrong, the problem is the tone, if your tone was better your tone would be better... His comments have all the hallmarks of someone desperately trying to sound like they know something but are actually giving away the obvious fact they know precisely nothing! But... go sort out your tone, its your tone making your tone sound bad!

You and your crazy, radical ideas! It's so absolutely ridiculous it almost makes sense!

That. Is stoopid! At full tension a 6 string guitar probably has north of 180lbs of tension across the strings, not sure I'd want 180lbs of tension to crush my hand! I mean innovation is mostly always cool, but this is foolishness!

@knicknack [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Get Mark to blanket email the above executive contacts within Parcelforce. I had a similar issues some years ago (bass of higher value as it goes). After a good number of emails back and forth with the above contacts (firm but diplomatic from my side) they eventually offered a 'goodwill' gesture that covered the costs of the lost instrument. They didn't admit any guilt, but their 'goodwill' gesture covered my losses. Worth a go, so long as you approach them with a firm, respectful and diplomatic email and tone of voice, often they do capitulate. Hope this gets resolved. Russ.

Anyone heard of Aristides guitars? I first came across them when I went to see Caligula's Horse play at the beginning of last year. Sam Vallen wasn't playing his usual Musicman JP7 and had this incredible looking/sounding red sparkle thing... T'was an Aristides. These thing have really piqued my interest, they've just made a 6 string bass, it looks pretty tasty. Their build technique is really interesting too, worth a look! Also, the things they build are quite out there! The below is a 9 string, headless, fanned, fretless guitar! And this, the 6 string bass I mentioned. Cool stuff indeed. Darkglass preamp with 3 Nordstrand fatstacks, now that has to sound savage!

I expect the irony is that if he'd pled guilty and showed contrition he'd have got a lesser sentence and already be out!
