£600 pre-VAT is £720 - how much is it listing for here?

Ah - thanks for the update Bill : it's been a long time since I was on that side of the pond.

The same waffle from the group of reasons car manufacturers have used for decades to justify ripping the UK consumer off I imagine: err exchange rates, tax, distribution deals etc. I honestly don't know - it's very frustrating. And yes - US prices are all before sales tax: when online purchasing I think you only pay if you are resident in the state they come from. Or something like that. It does vary by State, County and City.

£50 less for 400 fewer watts and 2 fewer freq options? and 'how much?!' for the cabs. Like you say - you can get top quality cabs for less than that. Have DG been smoking what Apple use lately?!

Hey, welcome! Which part of Canada are you in? Is it snowing yet?

To clarify then: by saying the victims need to be more responsible, you are tacitly accepting this behaviour is unavoidable.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1505917519' post='3375209'] I think the major thought process on this thread is that we all agree that these types of behaviour aren`t right, but we can all understand that they are unfortunately inevitable. [/quote] No - they are not inevitable. Saying they are only perpetuates the myth that they can't be stopped.

You are - by putting the onus of having to change or conform to reduce/avoid risk, you are essentially giving them the blame for something bad happening. There is no excuse for lewd comments or worse, none. There's a discrete difference between this and one person knowingly testing cause and effect of a criminal offence. The first ought to cause more bother for the perpetrator, but normalisation of its effects, frequency and attitude means it doesn't. Until millions of people a year try to photograph NK military sites, and tens of millions of others say 'it doesn't really matter, does no harm,' 'what were they thinking, placing their installations in that wide valley in full view,' etc. then it's not a fair comparison. And yes - however daft it might sound, you should not deserve or be asking to be robbed by walking about a rough part of town laden down with notes. That is exactly the sort of thinking that allows wannabe, impressionable people to think it's a suitable form of employment.

Because you're victim blaming and normalising the continuation of these attitudes.

Just when you mistakenly think society has progressed sufficiently for us to be worthy of meeting our interstellar neighbours... It's so annoying and frustrating that people think this sort of behaviour is still acceptable - so much intolerable behaviour is completely normalised - I despair of what it will take to shift this mindset.

Every Breath You Take by The Police

Well - you'd need Soup for a start. Can't get through a tour without the Soup.

Is it? I thought it was one of these complicated ones that needed a special adapter and messed up your pedalboard power. Might be another one then. Sorry!

I think it's commercially unwise to release the Ultra AO yet - the regular one's not been out long enough. Gotta maximise the upgrades! Cab and smaller compressor that works on 9v would be good,spose the third could be mundane, like an etched-design AO, or a rack-mount for the Amp.

Yowser. In all aspects. Thankfully I can not afford one

Does the Gain make it remotely growly?

I had no doubt Sheldon would like it: he is very ok and happy for his Ding owners to experiment. Go to TalkBass and see the array of pickup up mods that users on there get up to - he's shared technical specs and info to help them work out what exactly they are replacing and what change X or Y would mean.

The difference is that Thomas Moore is long dead and his actions gone. POC suffer very real discrimination right now. It's not that long since segregation etc. The flag (even though it's not actually the flag the Confederate Army used (there are many versions)), is used as representation by a vocal minority of white southerners as a symbol of their superiority and a return to the old ways (The south will rise again, and all that cr*p). They try to defend it with 'Heritage' and 'History' etc. but most of these idiots still think they didn't lose first time round. It's a very real and very racist symbol of oppression and has no place in modern society - nor do the statues of the traitors (at least not in public - in a museum would be useful - although given the whitewashing of many history textbooks over there, many people probably believe the slaves came here to fulfil the American Dream.)

Bah weep gra na weep ninibon. Bet it's still >£200.

Elitism is a big thing: go to TB and there's no end of 'it's not for real musicians'. I see nothing wrong with TAB. If you listen to the song you get the rhythm, and once you work out the pattern of the notes you can amend the fingering positions the TAB gives anyway, to suit your playing (e.g. I don't like open notes, they confuse my fingers.)

Would the b amp and berg cabs fit in the tvr though?!

Giggity...

The builders thread kept us all going this summer!

Hah - yeah. I was typing on the phone, while walking about, so it may have been too succinct. It's annoying when you press slightly too much of a finger on it and it opens the thread title option - which takes you to the first post. Gah!
