Planet Smasher - Devin Townsend

I don't know, I know nothing about them!

My guitarist bought me little knob covers because I’ve been so excited about mine literally since April. So now all your anagrams look weird to me 🤣

I don’t find it confusing at all. If something inspires you and gives your life meaning go for it. If you are doing it with sincerity I don’t think it’s anybody else’s business to judge. I always got the impression George Harrison was profoundly moved by his experiences in India and had a genuine love for the country and the music. He did things his way. The only way to do things.

The hunt goes on unfortunately

A bag of gravel a week...? LUXURY. I like the hotcovers stuff - good quality at a decent price. Their website doesn't say if they're made in the UK (I think they are... have emailled to ask) I had some Roqsolid stuff in the past and found them a bit flimsy butr to be fair, I probably had the cheapest option stuff. EDIT: Hotcovers stuff is made in the UK (They didn't say if their workers work 29 hours a day and pay them for permission to come to work and when they get home, their mothers and fathers kill them and dance on their graves singing Hallelujiah. I assume not.)

Not sure that the fade is the main reason why this bass looks iffy…

World Machine - Level 42

Totally... I agree... B & C direct are also UK based & the factory is in Wakefield ... What has been described to me sounds like of similar quality.. but not received it yet, so we shall see......

Roqsolid aren't the cheapest, but they do make everything in the UK. They don't sell stuff made by people earning a bag of gravel a week in third world factories.

An engineering marvel. The tailpiece is so simple, but so effective. And the headstock, very neat for something with 12 tuners. Very pretty - I'd be all over that if it was a 15-string....

everybody wants to rule the world - tears for fears

I'm not sure this is as confusing as you seem to find it. Cultures bleed into and enrich each other - this is a good thing. Taking ("appropriating") an element of another culture in order to suggest a shared experience that may not exist introduces the risk of looking insensitive or cynical. Much as you yourself alluded to above: it's a matter of intent and sensitivity to the subject matter.

Is the tea grown in India and the shirt made from Indian produced cotton?

When Santa Rules His World - Deicide

Just to bring you up to speed with the last 15 years. It's the same people, chatting the same chat but the gear got lighter, GAS got more intense and basses became a lot harder to sell. Other than that, you've not missed anything. 😀
