    Now the owner of a Squier Dimension 4 string. A bit oddball and quirky design but it's good fun.

      I've got the 5er...

       

      More bass than you'd expect for the price.

    Any thoughts on the GK legacy 800 bass head?

      I don't know that particular model but I've never played a GK that didn't impress..

    Just put new strings on my Epiphone Casino. Took about ten times as long as changing bass strings.

      I understand - the strings go round and round, where they stop nobody knows. 😉😉

      You wouldn't believe that it - students.

       

      Bomb Squad carried out a controlled explosion before letting residents return to their homes.

      JOOI what does the endorsement entail? Is the gear free or do you get a significant discount?

    Really really pleased with a couple of purchases from fellow BC members in the last week or so. Got myself an amazing AI DoubleShot cab, and a Danelectro Longhorn bass. Both amazing. A good start to the new year for me :)

      That's something slightly different. Involves a license to print loads of money.

      I'm lucky (currently). Not a lot that I want in the marketplace.

    Well, that was a fiddle!  I've two locks on my flat door, when I go out I only ever lock the bottom mortice lock so I only carry that key; the top lock is a cylinder lock outside with a hand turn knob inside ... I use that when I'm in the flat so I can always get out the door without needing a key (A lesson I learned from my fire!).

     

    So I get home today and the top lock is ... locked! 😱

    (Not sure why ... one cannot open the top handle if it is locked so it wasn't that ... I can only imagine when I left this morning I was drowsy and unthinkingly turned the knob on the way out ... or it somehow locked itself when I pulled the door too!)

    Call to my local friend who has a spare set ... I never gave her a top lock key.

    Brief attempt to McGuyver it open using a paperclip ... not surprisingly unsuccessful.

    Phoned my landlady who lives about 30min drive away ... who happened to be just around the corner, popped into estate agent to get spare keys and then let me in ... PHEW!!!

     

    Lesson learned ... NEVER going out again without BOTH keys!

    1. TheGreek

      TheGreek

      Been there. I've locked myself out several times.

       

      Now I have spare keys with 2 of my neighbours and I have theirs. Keys have been exchanged both ways on more than one occasion  - obviously only do this with people that you trust ( or get a big dog).
