  1. Yes, I think it was @bubinga5 who may have shared it. Quality.
  2. @Steve Browning - I agree the thread should exist as it’s brought a lot of pressure to bear. It’s also brought quite a few new people to the forum by its existence and that’s got to be a good thing. That said, there’s a lot of unnecessary posts in it and I recognise the easiest way to police that is to lock it, keep it visible (searchable) and rely on the members here to point people in the right direction if the name comes up again. I also think complaints about threads being locked are best discussed via PM with Mods/Admin or they can come across the wrong way. Maybe it’s just me.
  3. Having it pinned here may possibly stop a member here (who doesn't already know) from dealing with him, but that's a very small percentage of his potential customer base. As I said above, the thread has not been deleted, so it's not invisible to an internet search. I don't see how you intend to fully protect the world from this person. I also don't see the point of whinging about threads being closed when an Admin or Mod has chosen to take that course of action.
  4. Complicit in what exactly? The thread hasn't been erased and it can still be found through a search engine.
  5. I'm just considering sending a CS neck away for some TLC. This has right put me off.
  6. @walshy - delivered by friends of yours? 😂
  7. Great memories there. Thanks for sharing.
  8. Good piece that. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
  9. Interesting. On the first occasion I used them, as per my post earlier in this thread, the issue was (apparently)that I DID put a space in the postcodes. This resulted in a rescheduled collection from me, so no biggie. Every time I have used them since, I have put no slaves in any postal codes and it’s been OK. What difference it makes in the UK I have no idea. You’d have to be fairly stupid to not find your way to a correct postcode with or without spaces.
  10. I would be interested to hear @three's thoughts on the differences between the USA and Skyline basses. The USA I bought from him is just stunningly good, clearly better in fit and finish than the couple of Skyline's I've tried since, but I'm aware that's only a couple of comparisons so I don't think I'm in a position to judge.
  11. In fairness, I didn’t buy the Smith (which I really wanted) and resisted buying your Bravewood, so the method is working for me at the moment.
  12. I don't think I have a snowball's chance in hell of getting through 2021 without an errant purchase or three, but I will try 😎.
  13. From Mrs.H. She always plays an absolute blinder with Christmas pressies.
  14. Fraud is/was the overriding offence and false instrument on top of that would be construed as two bites at the cherry. She's right, but you probably wouldn't see a court convict on both. Academic now as that has been dealt with.
  15. +1 to that mate. Don’t know about yours, but the arms drop and retract backwards enough for me to use it as a seat for when I’m on Jamakazam. Used it for three hours solid on Sunday without issue.
  16. I’m not a fan of fabric. They tend to wear badly. Accepted it’s a little pricey, but the quality of components is top drawer. I very much doubt I’ll ever have to worry about replacing it.
  17. Fair enough, but Secretlab make different sizes for each of their models of chair and also give height and weight definitions for each, so you probably wouldn’t have bought one in error.
  18. I would like to ‘un second’ (and ‘un first’ for that matter) the notion of buying chairs on line. All I did was ask an experienced gamer what he would recommend and ordered one of them. Bit expensive, but oh so worth it. Only problem is, whenever I lean back in it, I fall asleep 😂, it’s that comfortable. https://secretlab.co.uk/collections/titan-series#titan_2020-batman
  19. Light and short scale is one thing. Cheap with a good B, plus light and short scale. Not so simple. Then you have to find a lefty. Good luck.
  20. Prima was batting way over his average with Maione. Great voice and beautiful to boot. Left her penniless.
  21. Depends. If you’re intending to cover certain songs accurately, then yes, you do. If you’re happy to compromise and play the low notes an octave higher, then no, you don’t (even though it’s wrong and you know it 😂). Fiver all the way for me when required. The rest of the time, I’m happy with fours.
  22. Agreed. I don’t think anyone has anything to worry about. Just hope the monies are returned 👍
  23. Technically, it could be either/both depending on how this plays out, but I really don't think any of the alleged aggrieved parties have anything to worry about.
