  1. In a weird situation where I have £1k-£1.2k to spend on a new bass and I just can't find anything I want in that range 🙃

      Two options:

      1. Just put the money aside until something appears

      2. Find a luthier who'll build something that you do want, pop the £1200 down as a deposit and save up the balance while you wait for the build to complete...

       

      Option 1 makes most sense, option 2 is best though, of course.

  2. After loving the album since I was a kid, I've had to finally learn Diamonds On The Souls Of Her Feet for a first dance. Such a banger!

      That is wonderful! Thank you @Rich

      All that era of Paul Simon's stuff reminds me very much of spending time in the car with my Dad.

      I was 8 when this came out and I remember even then tuning into the bass line.

      Incredible music.

      Yup, she won't be going by air again, not for a very long time.

      The Eurostar can get you to Rotterdam now, which is close enough, and although they've had issues too, you're only talking about a couple of hours delay, not a whole day and ultimately a cancelation after all that torture.

      Well as it happened, my wife didn't even get to The Netherlands!

      Her BA flight yesterday was delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, cancelled.

      She was offered the risk of another flight in the stupid wee hours this morning but that would've meant getting up at 0300 in the morning, so she binned the whole business trip. We'll never know what carnage KLM would've brought to the party on the way home...

      Oh dear, that all sounds pretty awful.

      I had been reading about a fairly significant upturn in Covid cases again, which is largely unreported in the mainstream.

      A couple of folks from my office are off this week with it and a couple of kids from my daughter's class, but luckily, so far it's not spreading too quick amoung my circles.

       

      @RichI hope you manage to get some compensation, did you have travel insurance, perhaps they could help?

      I once had an Easyjet flight from London to Edinburgh cancelled, after waiting 5 hours to see if it would actually take off.

      Their alternative travel options included spending about 4 hours in a hotel at Gatwick, to then, get up at s**t o'clock to take the first flight back up.

      I ended up going back to my girlfriend's in London and taking the train back at great expense, Easyjet wouldn't even talk to me about compensation, so I ended up suing for it via a thing called EU Claim, and won.

       

      What a palaver.

      Yes :(
      No option really, she's in Zoetermeer for work.
      Just hand luggage, so I guess that's one possible issue avoided.

      How bad is it?

      @Dood what are you plotting?
      I've got one more ACG in me, trying to figure out what I can sell/steal to make it happen though...

      Wow!
      That is incredible!
      I've played a 4 string Le Fay and the neck profile was to die for, super comfy.
      We're going to need more pics...

  19. NBD! It’s finally arrived... ordered my once-in-a-lifetime custom bass and after 2 1/2 years of build time/delays it’s finally here.... got to be honest I’m not smitten 🥺

  20. I just bought a Warwick LWA1000, special deal on Thomann. £275 for a 2 channel 1000w class A preamp powerhouse. Bargain!

      Not all sadly, but you can buy passive splitter boxes which do the same thing.

      Wow!
      I've had my eye on these for SO long.
      I;m sure they were near £1000 originally!

      Please keep us all posted on how you get on, I am sorely tempted, even though I can't afford it. The only thing holding me back is the single speaker out really...
