Guitar forum. It's hilarious over there at the minute. They have the strictest "No politics" rule ever, and are trying to have discussions about what tariffs will do to them. It's a place where people have been suspended for a week simply for asking IF they can make a thread on a particular subject!

They probably made a very attractive offer because of the advertising revenue TGP gets.

One of the biggest forums in the world with a massive amount of users and ad revenue.

Obviously I don't know about the OP, but for me it would be concerns about workers rights, conditions, equal treatment, pay that doesn't mean needing more than one job. So that really rules out a lot of the USA!

I was properly surprised - my eldest arranged it. It's expensive so she spoke to pretty much everyone who would have got me a gift: wife, other kids, parents, brother, even the Mother in Law! Funnily enough this challenge is making me think about the stuff I have but hardly ever use - and thinking about selling to make some room in the house. I've got 8 basses and I really only play half of them, I've got so many pedals but again only use my favourites. Some are cheap, others expensive but it's kind of dead money sitting there. Even for guitar use, it's usually just a fuzz, vibe, delay and that's about it - cliché Hendrix but I like it. It's giving me an extra layer of thought - almost moving instantly from "Looks fun to I want it" to "Yeah, but I'll probably sell it within a year"

Yesterday I discovered that my family have clubbed together to get me a Line 6 HX Stomp for my birthday, which is in a few weeks. I have wanted one for some time. It wasn't solicited, but they did know I want one. It's been in my Amazon wishlist for about 3 years! Is that a fail?

There's even a reddit about them... https://www.reddit.com/r/4x4/comments/hw1p3a/vertical_scope_forum_killers/?rdt=53278 Oops...

It seems that many members are not happy...

That's a shame - I fancy trying one myself. I have a L6 Stomp incoming now so I'm hoping that will do me for a while. I've had a Helix rack since they first came out so I'm well used to setting up sounds in that system. Should be here on Saturday so I'm looking forward to a weekend of playing and patch creation.

That depends on whether US companies making things outside of the US are covered. If there was anyone mentally competent / stable in the White House that isn't a pet we'd know that already.

I've just looked at my basket - it's gone down to £566.36. Probably due exchange rate alterations. Until UK tariffs are done in retaliation it shouldn't affect us. USA tariffs don't affect us buying USA goods. We'll need our own tariffs for that.

I love my Sandbergs. Very pleased with them.

It’s a Sterling not a stingray. And it’s actually inspired by an old passive copy of one that Vulfpeck had, that they particularly liked for recording. So other than things like EVH’s frankenstrat it’s about the first signature model based on something dirt cheap.

Might not be as easy as I thought. The proper USA ones are usually between 7lb and 7.5lb, but it seems that the Sterlings are much closer to 9lb, and unfortunately that's too much for me these days. All but 1 of my basses are under 7lb. aaarrrrgggghhhhhh

I have wifely permission! Bow before my negotiation skills! (Also, I have to do a lot of DIY round the house).

I am in serious negotiations with MrsF. Just the single bucker in natural will do for me.

Classical Thump. I spent about a year on that and I just couldn't get the parts to work together. I hardly ever slap now, and when I do it's 1970s disco type rather than Mr Wooten style.
