This one, 928 🤤

Fawned over these as a teenager!

Apologies on Mobile as ever… https://on.soundcloud.com/mUfCXxZRY54xug4M7 Called it “Bubble Vs Bird” A little bubble floats off on a summers day…happy and growing into a big strong bubble; a bird spots it and swoops to pop it…does it survive the chase? meh, I did some music - I’ve tried to squidge my idea into fitting with the picture… recorded today, sponsored by courtesy car woe and hangovers.

Gold and orange 🤢

Aguilar cab and AG500?

Tiger backplate, tiger stitch on bag…tiger blood finish… leopard print inside the case. 🥴

I’m going to guess £1100? bit more than JMJ?

Just got a Gotoh Bridge from Dan. All absolutely perfect Many Thanks

The amount of pianos we used to “recycle” when people would trade against the latest iteration of Yamaha Tyros (urgh…) or Clavinova used to make me sad. Anything teak/70’s/80’s used to get skipped - if the cabinetry was deemed to be outdated/unfashionable - they’d get trundled up on a forklift and dropped into a container. But as stated - we couldn’t give them away - offered to schools and charities, nobody wanted them. Madness.

Would another luthier/builder be able to get it across the line? it’s hard - I lived 18 years with a builder (my dad) and my mums complaint for years was that he started jobs in his own house and never finished. it looks brilliant

Follow JDouglas on Instagram, love some of the stuff he comes up with.

Understand that. I wasn’t responding to your personal circumstance, I was responding to what @ubit had said. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it - I just wouldn’t shop there or even consider buying from them in future. give it another 5 or so years and there most likely won’t be any guitar/bass shops left to visit, for reasons outlined above. crap margins, aging customer demographic, business rates, online business models with lower overheads - etc. But the elitist behaviour exhibited by some people in some stores is mental, I never understood it when I was in the trade - even less so now that the MI retail trade is dying.

Used to stop it regularly when I worked in a shop. There are organised groups of thieves who target guitar shops. And…opportunistic passing addicts. I don’t miss that element of the job. We weren’t paid enough to deal with it, but by god did we get it in the neck if it did happen…

Oh yeah. Yeah they do 🤢

NEW SQUEEZY CHEESY PEAS!

That’s up for sale, a lot… think that’s the third or fourth time in the last two years. I think Jaydee basses are ace. And the BB3000 is recitals one of the all time greatest passive basses (the 3000a obviously different) it’s like beer being nice and Coca Cola being lovely…but you wouldn’t mix them.

Wild Beasts. was introduced to them years ago when “Two Dancers” came out. Hadn’t really followed their progress much as I get easily distracted. Gutted I didn’t as they’ve disbanded and their subsequent albums were absolutely masterful. “Present Tense” and “Boy King” Also, Bombay Bicycle Club are on the speakers a lot at the moment.

Just got an LMB-3 from Fleabag. ace packaging, super quick…etc

Yeah - really enjoyed that one @lurksalot
