Yes, don't think Promenade Music and Bass Direct (who are the only big box advertisers from the UK) would sell much to the USA, wot with the £ being worth diddly......

You could pair it with someone wishing to send something/going to Jon Shuker who lives there I believe....?

There will be a final edition for UK subscribers only but Issue 426 is the last UK/USA edition and carries the announcement of going fully digital. I got my subscription edition 426 earlier this week so suspect if its not in the shops it maybe slightly delayed with the distributors? I never realised they were a joint UK/USA edition but that may explain the $ pricing of some items which I still find bizarre, as all the reviewed items were in £ Sterling and the overall feel was UK too.

Must be cheaper than paying a scribe to write more editorial, unless of course they paid for them years ago and can re-use the picture subsequently?

Just a point on photos, I made the observation in my earlier post that there are loads of Getty/licensed images in the current issue of hardcopy Bass Player, yet many have no relevance to the article other than it is a picture of a famous Bass Player i.e. Lee Sklar and seem to be used in place of editorial..... Oh and another moan, why can't they be consistent about pricing, this last edition has items in editorials priced variously in £ and $; given the additional costs that US stuff incurs is usually the same in £ and $ why not just use £? When I last looked it was our currency.......!

Wasn't Ron Griffiths the Bassist with bad finger?

Now that's Steve Miller Band......

Ta!

If only there was a Mod around to maybe someone amalgamate the 2 threads...?

Surely you mean Neil Sedaka?

Spoke to Nordstrand who said there was a low incidence of this being reported and the pragmatic/recommended solution was Loctite Blue. As the other incidence reported was also an A string saddle it was suggested by others the tooling may be worn. Anyway, my Bass was pre-loved so I was on shaky ground for free replacements. Amusingly Nordstrand said they had sent out one set of replacement grub screws or saddles to someone who had used Loctite Red and could not then move them at all!

Posted this in the Bass Player Subscription thread 9 hours ago Well, just received my last of the £5 for 5 issues and they announce the Magazine is going totally online with no further print editions. TBH having been a long term reader from years ago, I felt my recent 5 subscription issues contained lots of articles from back then that have just been 'refreshed'. This month features Bernard Edwards and I'm sure I've read at least 3 appreciations of him since he died in 1996. Other features such as three Bassists you've never heard of answering a questionaire which is edited to look like it wasn't a questionaire are ho hum for me. Spurious Getty Images dotted about to hide the lack of editorial still abound. Afraid just 3 reviews of gear a month does not satisfy my thirst for gear knowledge and some of the photography choices were weird. Last month they reviewed the new Trace Elliott Amp with one large photo at the top of the article and the same photo cropped to around 20% of the size to one side. Why not use the rear of the amp in the smaller pic to show the connectivity there......? However a note of praise for our own Dood on The Last Note, interesting and entertaining! I know it's 'different strokes' but as you may have already guessed, I'm afraid I won't be going digital with them.

Was it a black star that was enhanced?

I'm sure they were on at the O2 fairly recently?

All that Dymo tape, is this a Happy Jack thread?

Buying from abroad? Haven't you heard, we've taken back control of our borders from the EU and nothing can get in or out unless the French staff at Dover say 'We we'.

Do not disturb

I would have bought it but it has 'dirt', eugh!
