time after time - Ozzy

While it's good to hear that they are honouring obligations from before the bankruptcy, I'm a little miffed (with them, not you!) that you got sorted out for an issue from February, but I've heard nothing yet about my back order from September last year

250??? 250 !!! That is a score and a half! Looks to be american made, The R logo and serial would put it in the 80's for certain. All the switching options and knob design all point to the USA as well. I would put the pictures and details onto the BC rich Junkies page on facebook. There are people on there that could tell you what the builder's wife's cat was doing at 7 minutes past 3 there Thank you for sharing dude!! I look forward to seeing it on FB

They are still there, and have scaled back to concentrate solely on drums and percussion. Part of the former shop space has now gone over to the above mentioned Hippo Guitars. I didn’t know you had a Derby connection, Stub.

You can get spray cans of Matt finish polyurethane from Boyes in Kendal.

That name reminds me of Allstrum and Bangit, another vanished emporium methinks?

I've owned a retail business. I think the best policy is either you refund in full or offer to repair at no cost. The buyer is responsible for getting it back to you in the condition it was sold in if he collected it in person. He's not entitled to a refund for inconvenience (how did he lose out, exactly?), he's just trying it on. He will probably complain about it, but then he'll probably also complain if you do what he wants. I think if you want to make a go of it as a business, you have to price accordingly. You can't sell a bass for Harley Benton money with botique luthier service. You also need clear t&cs that fit in with the law where you live.

I used to go to Rattle & Drum on Osmaston Road.

Regularly travel from Glasgow to Edinburgh on the train with bass in original hard case and haven't experienced any grief whatsomenever.

Congratulations on the offspring!

The amp was pulled from a combo, so there isn’t really a case, as such! The heat sink should sort it. I don’t recall seeing a Trace combo with vent holes, and there’s no fan, so would assume it was designed to be fully enclosed. Equally happy cutting more holes if the experts think it worthwhile!

Interesting. I had a look and have seen items that I know for a fact are no longer available anywhere else as "available in 8 days" on their website. I wonder if they have a secret warehouse of unsold stock or if they're taking orders that they can't fulfil.

Oh yes - that's allowed! 🙂

Typically, the voltage of an alkkaline cell rebounds when taken off load quite fast, then it slows down over a longer period, so if you measure when they come out of the bass after a gig it may have gone up a bit by the next one. It doesn't really affect the capacity but can mean a battery you thought was flat can appear to work OK for a while. Obviously, over months/years they self-discharge which is a different effect.

People are allowed to protect their intellectual property and this includes schematic diagrams. If there is something "special" within that diagram sending out copies willy nilly means that anyone can clone that piece of 'special" rendering it worthless.

Make sure that the amplifier sleeve doesn't block any ventilation holes in the amp's case. You don't want the amp to overheat in use.
