No - I’m done for basses, I did a back and forth on some HiFi gear last month and sold a Peavey bass to get a second Casady.

 

It was a deal I thought would soften the blow of the Ripper leaving.

 

Now the ripper is staying…I’m a “fat bottomed girl” kind of bass player.

 

I actually have no more room or cases for basses…

 

if we didn’t rent our rehearsal space to other bands (the drummer owns it) - I’d leave my gear there.

 

But the other bands can’t put food wrappers in the bin, so a Gibson or Epiphone on a stand would be broken within a week…

[Clarky]

Well, more good news. JG just paid out the first (majority) amount a few days early and it's now with the Travis family!  Go Iris and the Travs 😀

I’ve transferred to the boss with “Iris’ money from BC” Into the family savings account.

 

Have spoken with Ryan the plumber about the tap discovery…

 

He’s adjusting quotes accordingly.

 

Again - much love guys xxx

Great news Andy, hopefully the mains discovery will save a decent chunk 🤞

[Grooverjr]

That's a pair of fantastic bits of news. Glad to hear the money is now "real" and Brucey bonus on the front tap (stop sniggering at the back 🤣) should mean it goes further.

I was really pleased to see that the target has been reached. Well done to all

More than happy for you to leave your gear with me for free. We're almost neighbours (for some value of almost).

 

Just trying to help

I've been playing with alternatives to Barefoot Buttons for my pedalboard and have this design which I shamelessly stole off Thingiverse. These work really well, they are plastic rather than metal and fit 10mm foot switches. They do not fit the smaller foot switches yet, e.g. my own Mod Dwarf, but I'll adapt the design when I have time.

 

These are in sparkly blue as thats whats on both my printers at the moment. but I can do red, black, white, Prusa Orange (thats the orange you see on Prusa printers), yellow and any other colour that I have lying around.

 

I'll do these for a £1 each, you tell me the colours and I'll pay the cheap postage in the UK, you simply make a donation to this fund for Iris. So if you want 10, make a £10 donation and let me know and I'll print them up and send them to you. Any special requirements drop me a message and I'll see what I can do.

 

 

 

Just taken delivery of some of @rwillett's lovely 3D printed pedal toppers for the price of a donation - they're fab and you should buy some (by donating).

It’s the plan. Will have to clear out my attachment folder 😂

Your new West Wing (other wind directions are available) must have a proper name too.
How about "The Ripper" facing the street  -  -  in happy, milticoloured neon-lights?  Bit like the Party Cannon logo?

[Clarky]

Amazing offer here

Demnit, forgot a bump bump
