I've had a nesting box up in the garden for about ten years. This year, finally, at last, the great tits are in residence.

My neighbour has a small hole on the side of his roof, where I constantly see tits enter. I have already let him know very early this year, so he can fill up the hole before nesting starts, but apparently he missed it, now he'll have a noisy loft I guess
I had a teeny tiny gap at the side of my PVC fascia board under the gutter, and amazingly these buggers could still enter there. Would not have believed it without actually witnessing it. We chased them out then had it filled in with silicone, as they were very loudly knocking in there every morning, like some tiny woodpeckers. Only from like 7:30 to 10am just to definitely wake me up on a weekend, then they stopped for the day 😁

@PhilLawton sorry no, I was just about to update the thread. -
I'm looking forward to seeing & hearing this. I'm really hoping I don't like it, if you see what I mean

Back in January of last year, I scratched a big itch and bought this Status S4000... I didn't need it at all, but you know what GAS is like, especially when it's something you've always craved. Well, anyway... jobless since last December, and redundancy cash only goes so far, so it's got to go. I've given it a thorough service/set-up/clean/fret polish, the only thing I couldn't shift was the mysterious black spots on the tip of the lower horn (see pic). String-wise it's currently wearing my favourite part-worn Elixir nickels 45-105. From what I understand the black hardware is fairly unusual for this model. It had new batteries last Jan and I'll fit new ones again before I let it go. You don't need me to tell you how good it sounds. The case isn't brilliant, the foam is very roughly cut, but it does what it's supposed to do. I'm looking only for what I paid, which was £1300. Obviously I really really don't want to ship it, a meet up might be possible depending on your location.

The Performer is one of my favourite Fender basses ever. The body shape is just gorgeous. If I'd known about it at the time, I'd have copied the shape for my Shuker build. I'm thinking I might bring my Tanglewood ABG along for the ride as my TBC.

Many many years ago my band played support to A Famous Vocal Quartet Who Had A Big Hit In The 70s. There were only the four of them on stage, two were strumming guitars, and they sounded great... but I heard their soundcheck and absolutely everything was on the backing track except the one lead vocal. Not a note from those guitars, and although there were some live BVs the majority of those were on the tape too. It was karaoke writ large.

Any progress since this, Eddie?

Good point, however it still has its rubber feet attached, which are standing on the bottom of the case. So contrary to how it looks, there's actually plenty of air underneath it.

My poor addled brain read that as "picked up a used, Japanese, Sadowsky Metro Express for a fiver". Just for a second it was the deal of the century

NWD (New Wireless Day) -- incoming Sennheiser G3. Ludicrous, ridiculous deal I couldn't walk away from.

Today's office with the Soul Destroyers... two one-hour sets, one either side of the match itself. Predictably the crowd were a lot more lively in the second set *coughcough cider* and we went down a storm. And Bath stuffed Glaws too. Result. 🙂🔵⚫⚪

Ta folks, I've gone with 4 for the moment. Might change my mind and go 5... We'll see. And yes, I can see the damn tape is lifting already 🙄😄

Well, I managed to pick up something vaguely similar on fleaBay. Not machined, just screen-printed, but they still look ok. I therefore have 5 options. 1. Leave it as is. 2. Both new badges. 3. New badge on left, blank on right. 4. Vice versa. 5. Nothing. Thoughts?

A setup demonstration would be a good idea. For a lot of people it's a really dark "I wouldn't know where to start" art, I know there are youpube videos etc but there's nothing like seeing it done right in front of you. Charity donation for definite, but the endless tea is already included in the entry cost, as is the food. Oh god, the food. Dammit, I'd managed to get this far without thinking of the food, and now you've gone and done it.

Had an intermittent fault with one of my homemade cables at the weekend. Did some investigation, and on inspecting one of the plugs I found that ONE STRAND of the screen had escaped the solder and was just touching the core terminal. It may only have been the one strand, but it was enough to cause a short.
Note to self: in future, tin the bloody wires properly. *slaps self* -
So there it is... ...and it's never too early to start an attendee/gear list 1. Rich - Trace Elliot TE-1200 amp, Barefaced Super 12T cab, earplugs , Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood TRB-CE acoustic bass gtr. Also, start digging those raffle prize donations out!

Genz-Benz Shuttle amp RACK-MOUNT KIT rare, £35 posted

Here y'go. I used to be a draughtsman, does it show? I don't have one for the Streamliner so I can't measure/draw it. -

Sadly I don't think it will. It's tailored exactly for the Shuttles. -

What an opportunity - be Gene Simmons' roadie for a day for $12.5k
Rich replied to Clarky's topic in General Discussion
If I had 12.5k to throw away, the absolute very last person on earth I'd give it to would be Mr Witz.
