To win it by spending 10% of what it was worth, you'd be buying 5% of the tickets (as the ticket total is about twice the market price) so you have a 1 in 20 chance of winning. Enter 20 draws and you'd have roughly a 2/3 chance of winning one or more, and if all the draws were pretty much the same, you'd have spent double what one item was worth.

The covers band charges to pay, although we do do very occasional charity gigs for nowt - they're gigs direct for the local charities in question though, not charidee events with promoters etc. I've just joined an originals band - that looks like being unpaid, at least for a while, but I don't mind. I think the eventual plan is to get paid.

In response to the title of this thread, I would say that this post merits the answer "yes".

I sent the bass next day, it arrived next day. I would agree that once a non-nextday package arrives in Evri's maw, traversing its labyrinthine intestines takes several days.

I used Evri to post a bass a couple of weeks ago. No problems. Did you ask whoever told you that what they thought of the moon landings?

A rather more minor issue with DPD which does highlight an issue with their computer system. I ordered two items from different suppliers - a pedal from G4M and some rechargeable batteries from Ikea, both of them for drop-off at the local post office. I got notifications that both were in transit, then got a notification that the pedal was ready for collection, with a QR code. Went to the post office, and the lady on the desk went looking for my parcel. She returned with the Ikea one. I told her that there should be another one as well, and she had another hunt and found the G4M parcel. She gave me that but wouldn't hand over the Ikea one as it wasn't showing on the system. Then the next day I saw that the parcel was now showing as collected. I've been back to the post office - the week that I'd been in to collect the stuff, the staff were agency staff, and the full-time lady never managed to find the parcel. Ikea have refunded me (for the batteries, not the postage) and I've bought the same thing from Ebay, delivered to my house. I've raised this as an issue with DPD - the G4M parcel racking history shows as in transit, then ready for collection, then collected. The Ikea one just shows as in transit, then collected. I assume that the QR code is generated at the point where the status changes to "ready for collection" so it would appear that an item can be collected without a QR code, which makes a mockery of security.

You never know, their stock levels may suddenly and unexpectedly increase enormously.

You changed two letters for others - z -> v, y -> i. I think a Hard Stare is coming your way.

This is why you should never play slap on an Ashbory.

I feel that the problem is being approached the wrong way. Let the laws of physics work for you. Just become besties with Elon Musk and get him to fly you to Mars. At 1/3 Earth gravity, your bass will become considerably more manageable.

The Mamas and the Tapas

Ah yes <boggles>

There's a few basses that crop up on Ebay you could say that about, because the diseases that you catch from them will finish you off.

If that was from The Bangles, it should get a hard stare.

Last night, had a rehearsal with the originals band then straight off to the Shirley British Legion as a friend of mine that I used to be in a duo with some time in the 90s had said he'd be there - he's been very unwell, and lost his wife a few months ago, so I wanted to see him. He was there with another friend, the widow of the organiser of another open mic which I became the house bassist for and which introduced Mrs Zero to singing in public. The evening was finished off by Kevin getting me up to accompany him once again, which turned the clock back very effectively.

Towbar and trailer.

Loosen off the screws you have got in and jiggle it all around a bit.

Jack-jack from an instrument jack socket on the mixer. Pretty sure it was a lot more than 48V. Subsequent testing of both the mains sockets involved showed no issues. The mixer in the room is a different one now, it got swapped after the shocks.
