A few changes. Does everything I want it to do (famous last words...)

Reminds me of my granddad's old gramophone!

It's definitely jazz... No smiling allowed in classical 😁

One last video for now. I keep coming back to this one. This has La Bella DTB but not LTF. Again the Fenders sound good to me:

Your logic is impeccable 😂😂

Jeff promptly replied to my Darkglass Harmonic Booster wanted ad with high quality pictures and a price (including postage). The pedal arrived in excellent packaging and even better condition. A pleasure to deal with, buy with confidence!

Quite a bargain compared to those Dogal Flatwounds! Even if I won the lottery I'm not sure I could get my head round paying that much for strings.

The original is a monster, but this is for a band that plays about 25% CCR songs.

I've bought a set - better be decent at this price The mist expensive strings I had bought previously were a set of LaBella "Jamerson" 1954 flats at around £50 (which seemed ludicrously expensive) Anyone else ordered a set yet? Or, any thoughts?

It's both. The fact that Civil action can be taken for an IP dispute does not prevent there being a criminal offence. Same in all manner of things. Many criminal offences have a linked civil one. "Conversion" is the civil equivalent of "Theft". In a civil matter the result would be an order to pay compensation / loss of income etc. In the criminal one it would be either a fine (payable to the state) or prison. Punching someone in the face is a criminal offence with criminal penalties. It is also causing a Personal Injury that can be sued upon as a civil matter. Pursuing one option does not mean the other cannot be pursued as well. ADDITION: Not to forget that the IP owner - the real composer can take action against GT for IP problems but a purchaser of a song via a streaming service cannot take the same action for IP... because the purchaser doesn't have an interest in the IP. The purchaser has been a victim of deceit = fraud. The real composer has been a victim of theft and an IP issue and has probably been denied income because of it. So - it's a multy-layered thing. But ultimately the evidence against GT suggests that he would fail to successfully defend civil and criminal actions against him...

I rather assumed that this was a Game Of Thrones reference ...

Thanks for being condescending, I can and have read this. This guy made most of his money from pretending to play guitar, therefore to take his income is to take money he has made by pretending to play guitar. If the problem is if the 'theft' of gear iwhy is the majority of the content about his passing off playing and writing music as his own ? also again I'm no lawyer but to me theft would be if the guitar was not given but loaned...ie can i borrow your lawnmower, i then sell it. Thats theft. This may be more a case of "Can you give me that lawnmower you have made for free as i review lawnmowers, its my property i can then sell it and its not fraud, If i agree to review it then its possibly gained under false pretences (which may be fraud and theft) but that would depend on the detail such as I'll review it by 2024 etc.. certainly breach of contract, which again would be a civil matter...but definately morally wrong Jonny

Celebration - Kool and The Gang

Well I really love the 9050 here. They’re in the blind test results at 1:48 (sorry for revealing!), and with tone wide open with pick at 7:24 where they sound exactly like what I want. He states that these are all slightly worn in flats. This also features La Bella LTF but not DTB.

Celebration(s) - Kool and the Gang

Not a bass, but my 1967 Gibson SG junior I drove to newcastle upon tyne from Dover. It was a 700 mile round trip and I did it in a day (it was a long day)
