Of course, it could read 'husband' or ' partner' instead of 'wife'. My bad.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Due to the sheer scale of the event and numbers who attend, are you guaranteed an audience or do some bands end up playing to virtually no-one on a stage tucked away in an unpopular corner of the site? Has anyone who has attended as a punter witnessed this? I have to admit I'm not a massive fan of festivals in general, but the more I hear about the festival the less impressed I am from a band's PoV. Like so much in the current musical climate the artists who appear to be able to make it work are those who already have some success and a following.

Here is an observation. I am still selling on there, using the free account, but here is what i have noticed... where an item im selling might have normally 50 80 100 views my good items are getting 15 20 views my lesser wanted items are getting 5, to 0 views. so my sales are right down. Now... you can click "promote you items",, here is what you get... ---------------------------------------- General 100% more visibility, on average. Basic access to ad placements across eBay Pay per sale - only pay a fee when an item sells Accelerate sales on any type of listing, especially useful on low quantity listings or,,,, Priority 200% more visibility, on average. Preferential ranking in ad placements across eBay Pay per click - only pay for clicks on your ads Multiply sales on multi-quantity listings, especially useful in highly competitive categories Exclusive access to the top of search ad placement -------------------------------------------- so im thinking its not hard to see whats going on there... all the time my items will be bumped to the bottom of a search list topped by people willing to pay for there ad to be "promoted" and also by all the traders that pay to have that priority as part of their package. that's all if you use the default search "Sort, best match" so if you use the sort by "ending soonest" this would put everything in line with no advancement to anyone paid or business account. that's just the way im thinking of it i may be wrong ? anyone ? i know your all thinking "what do you want for nothing", and fair enough, i get that. just an observation.

Snap!

Welcome to the Starstream owners club! I love the artist Starstreams, I've got 3 of the buggers now, 2 A1H with the MM style pickup and 1 A2S with the jazz config. I've got short scale EB Cobalt flats on one A1H, and they're perfect for it. They basically sound like played in rounds, with enough tension to work well at 30" scale but not too stiff either. That particular bass has become my goto for almost everything. Can highly recommend them.

There's an interesting account of how the post covid lockdown boom affected the retail music industry and as it expanded, venture capitalists took over PMT and other chains........ when the market began to shrink in the last year or so....... the big profits to satisfy the VC's wasn't there.... hence the closures. Check out Chat TGR Episode 38 for the actual story...........

Snagged one from Guitar Guitar. Will be reporting back soon 😬

just listened to John Fogerty on the iPlayer, the sound was so much better than when I listened to him live, the bass was up in the mix, and we got the full set, wish he hadn't done quite so much talking though, he might have had time to do Bad Moon Rising then

Eagles - Take it Easy

Hi Lemmywinks Very many thanks for the info 👍

But at least it was a good idea to have Olivia rodrego on the Legends slot And wasn't Velvet Sundown set good?

Can I just get in really early for Glasto 2027? Ahem. God, the lineup is crap. Why haven't they got all the bands that *I* like? Thank you.

The Nightfly KILLS.

Interesting reading. For my own part, I've never been sure about Japanese Fenders. Some are really good. Others are no better than their Mexican equivalent....
