fleabag

There's fack all art in copying someone else's guitar / bass lines. Fun though. I do that very thing meself. The kiddies are talented, yes, clever too, but ultimately a zzzzzzzzzzz fest The magic comes from the mind of the original composer. When the embryos eventually compose something worthwhile, then i'll be impressed.

Yeah i've heard that Stevie but that's mostly rubbish. I suppose if the sellotape had lots of folds / ridges / too many wraps, maybe. I've used sellotape for barcode labels since barcode labels came out for parcels. Never had one fail a scanner till this thread i started. Not only that, the shop can type in the tracking code on the label, manually, into the scanner. That would totally rule out the sellotape mucking things up. The 3 times they tried this at 2 different shops, even manual entering the number proved to still throw up an error ... something was duff at Yodels end and they still told me the label was a good 'un, its the shop's scanners. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Pretty disgraceful all round. Parcel couriers are a bluddy shambles.

This real person offered me the option of a 1-2 day refund if i had the money sent to Yodel account, instead of 5-7 day wait back to my card account. Much chuckling at my end.

More amusement. Despite the ' live ' chat ( real person in real time, ) telling my she was cancelling my booking, and refund back to my card in 5-7 days, the money has not appeared. That was over 8 days ago Back onto live chat again today, i ask where the hell is my money, go through all the same carp as before, postcodes, tracking, ref numbers, invoice numbers etc, tell real person that the previous real person cancelled my booking because of Yodels rediculous system, but my money has not been repaid Real person says she's looked into this and it wasnt cancelled by previous real person. So first real person, she lie like a persian rug. Outright lie. Today's real person cancels my booking and this time i get .PNG that downloads from the chatbox to my PC so i check the file, and this time , it's official. Another 5-7 day wait. Marvellous. Bonobos could run a tighter ship than this bunch of degenerates

A painless deal selling Andy an amp. Very communcative , and friendly. 10/10

I've visited Blegium. Bluddy ghost town - just full of tumbleweed

Original sounds almost identical

I seem to be homeless

There's a luthier called John Soderlund , who goes by the name of JGS Guitars by i have no idea if it's the same guy that built yours

Dammit freak, that was friggin awesome. 9/8 is not easy to play but you guys nailed that 100%. My fave LZ track too. Nice work out for any drummer and vocalist. Is that band still going ? It should be if it isn't I've played that bassline too, and love it above anything else i've done

I would recommend a Peavey KB100 / KB300. British and so well made / built These are keyboard amps, with 3 channels, 1x15 and a great EQ section + Reverb. I rehearse at my mates mini studio, and he has one of the KB100 combos, and its awesome, i swear. Saves me hauling my own rig to his place all the time. Its a fabulous amp, and if it weighed the same as my Shuttlemax and Barefaced cab, i'd use it live.

Well, DPD came to the rescue. Cut those muppets Yodel loose, and dropped off my parcel at a local point, Wed PM. DPD picked up Thurs. Delivered to my buyer today. What the frig was so hard about that ? Yodel... take a lesson and then FO

It's a filthy lie , i tells ya

I remember having a problem, just once TBF, with a courier booked through Interparcel, and Inter were on the ball, good comms, and i got a refund fairly quickly

They're now on my FU list along with Hermes/Evri

Excellent mr meister Good for us little folk, then

Well, thats the thing. There are people who have not had any bad experiences with UPS, FEDEX, DPD, PF, etc, and there are people who have had bad experiences at sometime with all of the above, and others. If you were to not bother using a courier because someone said they were useless, then you wouldn't have a courier left to use. I used a courier that i have never had any dealings with in the past, despite others having had bad dealings. Now i know. They'll never get my money again. Luckily i had a very patient buyer, who wasnt ruffled one bit I've used RM and been ok. But i'm not sure they take parcels of 6kg weight. Besides, little point using RM right now

That is exactly why i dont use them. Unclear and confusing T+T's is a recipe for get out clauses, IMO. Well done for contacting them. They could easily do business here if their terms were much more transparent for us private individuals

This old pedal i've had for many years, is the danglies for vocalists, lead or bv. You can alter anything on the main and harmony / ADT - the dymanics, loudness, EQ, delay, reverb, pitch blah blah. 3rds, 5ths, triple voice, radio ( honest ! ) and gender on any harmony It's dynamite as long as you put the work in. It has loads of user presets too.

Just the dog version of punks gobbing at the band if they were good. Dog loved the band, obvs.

Read the small print. As monsieur fretmesiter says, no good

Correctamundo, and it wasnt a bass so if they'd been better on price and no possible strikes, i could have used their services

Next time maybe they'll be a bit more competetive, so will keep them in mind.

I probably would have used PF, but i was apprehensive about strikes, and they seem to be more expensive ( at times, anyways )
