    I know it is stressful but if you are saying that ebay have refunded you and the buyer is recompensed then I'd say that is far from an ebay 'woe'! If you'd sold it privately and shipped it yourself, you might be having a far greater set of woes to be getting an insurance pay out.

    The band I mentioned in my previous post had somehow acquired Sweet Caroline in their set by the time I rejoined. Transposed up a 4th to suit the female vocalist. They use an electronic backing track in lieu of a keyboard player....the opening intro caused my heart audibly to hit the floor. It's a shame because previously they'd aimed at being a pop / soul band steering clear of all the nasty songs. And they'd picked up work as a result. But identically the BL manufactured a false need for Sweet Caroline. I just thought it was indicative of a race to the bottom. No offence to anyone intended...I'd happily play High heeled sneakers for instance!

    If they're as good as my V7 they'll be great, but I'd need to A/B test it with a Cort Space. I wouldn't want to jump in feet first with a fan-fret only to find that I didn't get on with it.

    Great strings for reggae, Motown or any old school style. Distinctive purple silks, unused in original package. I also have a hardly used matching 5th string - 126 gauge available for an additional £5.00 if required.

    This is a very good quality plate, made by Fatboy Guitars Ltd. in Newport England, probably about 20 years ago. I have had it in a drawer for years and never even removed the plastic film so it is in new unmarked condition. The colour is a very pale mint green to my eyes which is not captured in the photos. Price includes UK postage.

    Interesting. Of course, a Squier Sonic Bronco costs less than £170 (new, less used) and that gives you a neck and a Mustang-alike body. However, this neck may be better quality.

    Wow, thanks guys - I wasn't expecting that! It was a really fun one to work on, and I enjoyed listening to all the entries this month. Hopefully it won't be another year before I manage to take part again... @Chiliwailer if you're happy for me to take this one I'll get an image over to @lurksalot shortly.

    Fair question because I can't tell if there's a generational shift in the punters you're playing to, or a saturated market of bands conforming to archetypes of genres that are getting hackneyed. I've certainly got jaded with covers. Not that there's anything wrong at all with it but I've got ground down with the repertoire, venues and the people I've been in bands with. A lot of that could be a post covid lockdown problem with my motivation! I rejoined and left a band earlier this year that I've played with on and off for over 5 years. Again, it's a specific unique case in point but it was hard to see what that particular band offered as an alternative to a solo girl singer with a PA speaker and a laptop backing track. Bizarrely I'm back enjoying doing originals ( in my mid '50s!!) doing less gigs but it's sustained my interest.

    Bought a ticket for Steve Hackett but it's not until Oct 2026! I don't get out much in my old age (62) but I may catch either of my two fave bands before then (Pendragon and Lifesigns) if possible.

    I've removed the 'RIP' from the thread title, as it appears (to paraphrase Oscar Wilde) that rumours of their demise were an exaggeration

    We don't have a PA bass capable so spare amp it is.

    Yeah. "They were really good when they played last time. Let's go again." Unfortunately, it's not how, or what you play, it's entirely down to how you make people feel. As a musician it sucks, as an entertainer, it's what makes a good band.
  25. JJMotown
    You know dhl have a maximum size limit of 120cm. So unless your parcel was under this size, it may be being held as its incurred additional costs.
  26. BassAdder60
    Yep I’ve heard good things about that pedal
  27. Quatschmacher
    Basically where you can cycle through a list of presets, say step 1 chooses preset 7, step 2 chooses preset 12, step 3 chooses preset 7 again.

    The alternative is getting a camera case or an actual rack, which, to me, seems kinda pointless if you’re reducing the bulk by ditching the wooden sleeve! Surprised about the weight - it only has one more metal panel than the normal version (on the top) and that has to weigh less than the sleeve. Has to be a mistake.
