It was from my personal Gmail account so not a threat to national security I feel.

If I told you I'd have to kill you all 😎 Because of stuff around phones/cameras are left in lockers. As to breaks etc. yes of course we have them but it's actually a bit of a hike to retrieve phone and go outside etc. etc. and ends up using quite a lot of the time available so I'd prefer not to have to do it. Needs must however and I'll probably end up having to do this. Deffo comes under the #firstworldproblems though.

Thanks for all the reassurances folks. I guess the email may have fallen into a spam filter but in the past I have used it successfully to communicate with them. Also I got an automated response on the Facebook message saying that it had been received and that I would be contacted as soon as the office opened.

Oh well, it must just be me he dislikes. Or maybe he needs to rename the place Bass Parts Direct. I'll contact the manufacturer direct to see if I can get some bass goodness from them.

I've been trying to contact Mark at BD about ordering a bass; c.£2k price so not inconsequential. Unfortunately where I work we have massively strict rules about personal calls and this makes it very difficult to phone during their opening hours so I have tried emailing via the website as well as via Facebook but all I get back is a stony silence. Disappointed.

Congrats, that's a beauty.

Tom bought a bunch of hardware from me. Easy transaction, plenty of comms and very fast payment. Thanks very much.

Lloyd bought a pedal from me. Easy transaction, plenty of comms and very fast payment. Thanks very much.

Jack bought a pedal from me. Easy transaction, plenty of comms and very fast payment. Thanks very much.

You can buy them on the Sandberg site. I have bought stuff there and it arrived promptly and without delay if that addresses your concern?

How about this one? Used to be mine (active/passive s0 best of both worlds), light as a feather too: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/sandberg-vs4-red/

User Experience is very grim atm....and my avatar has been thieved

I saw that thanks Ped, but not telling us a great deal tbh. What's the approx timeline do you think, as the UE is not great atm.

I'm getting massive ammounts of huge ads that is making the site all but unusable at the moment. Firefox user btw.

Understand the first reason but not the second, why does the self selection of songs not work for you? Ii surely affords an opportunity to pick songs covering different styles and tempos to demonstrate ones general grooviness.

Mostly self taught but I used to be a good violin player so an amount of musical knowledge definitely helped. Weirdly whilst I can read / sight read the treble clef music I still struggle to read the bass clef, no idea why. Thinking of having pano lessons in an attempt to sort this once and for all. Thinking bass lines, the first band I ever joined (and am still with) is an originals band so probably doesn't count. For covers maybe the following: American Idiot (probably the first I learned) Dark Side of the Moon - taught myself to play the whole thing with a bit of tab help for Time Ziggy Stardust Can't Get Enought Of Your Love Eleanor (The Turtles) Nothing Else Matter (easy, but love the song) Aspiring to learn: What Had Ye For Supper, Maddy Prior iirc, beautiful fretless bass part & Starship Trooper

Any news on gigs yet?

Per Cuzzie's comments. I recently sold my VS4 and miss it massively (I had put a Nordstrand NP4 pickup in it).

I like comments on threads. One experience I had recently was in respect of an item I had listed. I got a PM from one of our 'glass half empty' members saying it was over-priced and could be bought new for virtually what I was asking. I thought, OK fair point let me do more research. So I did, decided this person was wrong, listed it elsewhere and ended up selling the item for more that I was asking originally.

They are the Delano/Sandberg items.

Since receiving the CD it has been on in the car constantly. Great work Lewis and band. Have told my Scottish mate who broadcasts a prog show to give some airtime.

Excellent. Pics will be required of course.
