Only used as thumb rests for me, nothing more. Both built from solid Purpleheart, and yup, i went a smidge overboard on the first

Top banana bth. This is what its all about. Absolute fun all round , from what i can see.

Thumb rests are the only reason i have 2 of my basses fitted with ramps. I dont dig in, cos i ain't a digger, so dont need a ramp to stop the digging in, ...dig ?

I also rememeber that most of the loons didnt have pockets anywhere at all.

Well she could of at least worn some chenille table cloth. What a lightweight

Oh dear cliff. My loons were gold satin. Not forgetting the chenillle ( table cloth of olden days ) jacket i wore. No photos remain, thank the force

Its always been those biscuits for me.

Me too. In fact, i enjoyed my first ever journey to France by Mini Estate with my pal and our 2 gitrlfriends at that time, and we only had a couple of cassette tapes for musical company. One was Lou Reed's Rock n Roll Animal, and the other was Rattus Norvegicus. Happy days indeed

You get a stale jam doughnut for the oldest thread revival known to man

I've offered to teach him the D and A notes. £60 each

Large Corps base their headquarters and tax affairs offshore from mainland UK and enjoy/exploit lower tax brackets. Eire, Luxemberg etc. Your local builders, bakers, and candlestick makers are just too small to be based offshore What the rules should change to is that any company that sells goods here, should pay the same standard UK corporation tax as any other UK based business.

You saw a mouse..where ?

While we all abhor the cunning corporate tactics of paying sweet FA tax on profits, this is a fault of the Govt. tax loopholes. They could shut these loopholes down in the blink of an eyeball, but they wont. Not even the local self employed plumber, electrician, builder etc , pays more tax than they have to. Everyone bar none, pays the minimum that HMRC requires. The big monster corporate money making machines are merely paying the legal amount, and least amount that they can get away with. Like every other business.

Dont ever bother with Musicians In Your City. Utterly awful site https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/musicians-in-your-city.co.uk

Maybe HSBC bank is different ? They certainly refunded me , as i stated earlier

Likewise. My TE gear had the same Dagenham accent as me, which was a smidge spooky

Great post Pro C. He is awesome and that's not the easiest of music to play. Mitchell is a writing genius, which is why i have 3 of her best CD's Impressive

Yup ! These payments can be reversed just like a normal Paypal payment. They can be reversed if funded by a credit card, Bank account or even if the funds are in the senders paypal account.

Exactamundo. No one gives anything away by giving out bank details to someone for payment. Remember cheques ? Same details are on a cheque and we used to throw them at businesses and people like confetti

Apart from one of my basses that was built by Andy JR on Basschat, all other basses are foreign, + Genz amp, PJB cabs, Far East pedals, etc etc etc. Still got some Trace gear in bits, but a Trace 4x10 combo is not to be trifled with unless you're married to a chiropracter. The Genz Shuttlemax i can balance on my head

I had over 100 new kitchen tiles " go missing " from Ebay. I paid for the goods via PP. I was told by PP that they had proof of delivery from the courier. Trackable doesnt always mean a signature is required. The courier hits a few buttons on his courier pad to say the item has been delivered. Thats all PP / Ebay need. After a few weeks of messing around with messaging ( had to do it on Facebook with My hermes ) who denied everything. They dont have a customer line anymore ( no surprise ) so FB is the only way. In the end, i found out the courier had delivered the tiles to the Chinese Takeaway 30 yards away, who in fact never received the goods. I got so hacked off with the courier ( who probably stole them ) and the seller, who didnt give a hoot. and Ebay and PP who didnt a give a hoot either, so after about 7 weeks or so, i contacted my bank and got them to reverse the payment. Suddenly, PP took notice ... i paid twice because he only sold in bundles, and i needed 2 bundles to complete the job, but for some reason, PP only reversed one of the payments, and that caused more mayhem. But the bank of HSBC helped and i got all the money back, but only because i got my teeth sunk in like a Jack Russell with a rat. Bar stewards, the lot of 'em.

Found long term bands there twice, but mostly seems to be full of numpties of varying degrees, as already noted. EG delusional about their skills, some are time wasters, some dont answer, but i guess thats not special just to JMB

What dunc said. 100% Old scam, but it catches people out
