I’m not going there if you’re not. i know you said there’s no black and white on this subject, but what colours is the Yamaha? (I wrote “Yammy“ and couldn’t bring myself to use it sorry)

You know I live in leeds

Technically I am a millennial. @AndyTravis too maybe. I think the comments are combining millennials and Gen Z into one though (typical boomer thing to do really 🧐)

You literally did then try and recap!

So business owners like @Leonard Smalls other half... should start making a lot of noise to their MPs. Ultimately our access to secondhand basses in France is fairly unimportant compared to small and medium businesses

even if under £135?

I imagine a lot of businesses will be kicking off.

You’ve meantioned this a couple of times now - what’s the source? does it include services? Does the axel of a BMW mini crossing the channel a few times count as trade, or is that just a company moving an asset over the border? Is it looking at overall balance of trade - or as you are responding to @Grangur are you just referring to UK manufacturing export?

First single "Honest mate it's a oven ready Sansamp pedal" coming out after much delay a few weeks later than it should have done

@Bill Fitzmaurice can't suggest it... but I can.... Look at his designs for cabs. You will need to check if your speaker works for one of the Simplexx range but I would think given the time and materials you will be putting in there's nothing wrong in buying a proven, tested design. https://billfitzmaurice.info/Simplexx.html For my 2p - by the time I'm buying lightweight ply Ild probably consider buying a new driver and see what existing designs are out there that suit what I'm after...

on the desktop version now and can see that your location is in Oz so that makes sense!

Was looking for a P bass, 65-66 probably in budget, Earlier If beat up more! I found ppl would help with “book price” valuations but actual asking places would be far over that

Looks lovely - when I was looking a while back there was a definite lack of player grade old instruments that I could find!

I guess the upside is that we all will be able to support our local music stores more

You managed to sell it, and keep it?!

At some point Britain (or more accurately England) will face up to the fact that it isn’t the head of a great Empire any more, and will stop carping on about the last big war it played a small part in winning ... untill that time we will have WW2 constantly referenced and the head-in-the-sand exceptionalism of the English Phych ... Which directly leads to us paying more for things from Thomann

“Dicky fountain in bass Players market U.K.” ps - it might be way over priced - I have no idea

Where is this documentary?

Did you see the guy in the midland on Facebook selling the mint ‘65 Jazz in sunburst? No idea if the price was good or bad but it wasn’t ridiculous

Breath out and go and look at some ESP catalogues or something

good point. the company I worked for a few years back every customer who changed their minds managed to find a fault.

I thought the whole thing was about taking back control. Wasn't that the point?

Which seems reasonable. So a lot of companies are just going to not bother selling to the UK then. Oddly enough - if a similar company in the Netherlands refused to go along with this UK system and did just shove it in the post with a declaration of value - what would happen? Like I can't imagine the Brexit deal obligeses EU companies to comply with our demands?

Are you suggesting that HMRC have built a digital solution to all this that might actually work effectively? That sounds like a good thing

the other interesting thing for UK businesses selling within the EU now is how distance selling regs works. For example under the EU distance selling regs we could send things back to a shop and legally the shop had to pay the postage. That legal right doesn't exist now. It will be interesting what happens the first time say a German individual buys something from a UK company, and the purchase goes wrong... who's court arbitrates now?
