Unfortunately. Basil had to go and live at a rat rehabilitation center (due to son feeding him steak by hand, which apparently is what turned Basil into a maneater vampire). 😬 Edited July 8, 2019 by Ricky 4000 accuracy 1 1 Quote

I didn't mean 'maneater' in the Hall & Oates sense (😄)... actually, it was the wrong word anyway. Basil was more like a vampire... he would politely open up you finger (or ear), for a snack. Anyway, the rat trainer who took him away said he would have a very happy life in the school of rats. 👍 1 Quote

Couldn’t resist having a little ‘go’, which only confirmed that I can’t play a six string bass Now for sale here Have to say, that looks really nice, especially given asking price i was even stupider a few years ago, and after years of playing only 4's, on impulse bought a Listerud Totem 7 on BC. Fabulous bass, I but very soon realised it was beyond me, and apart from a brief dialliance with a Paulman 5 stuck to 4's ever since. Quote

Well, there is. I found out about it the hard way. I've maybe have mentioned this elsewhere but I sold an electronic circuit. It was bought within the hour and buyer duly paid. Seven hours later, he emailed me to say that he'd 'changed his mind' and could I refund him. Initially, I refused, as a deal is a deal in my books on ebay. He got shirty with me, saying he'd send the kit back if I posted it. Lomg Long story short, it seems that buyers can request a refund through change of mind on Ebay. He eventually got his refund.
