Welcome DJ. If you want to officially represent your employer there is a category of membership that identifies you as a company. @Kiwi, @ped or @Woodinblack can help you decide if this would suit you. As I have tagged them here you should receive a response shortly.

Welcome Nitram.

No need to apologise Mick. I'm not likely to be interested anyway. If it helps though, you can always do a screen shot of what you see and paste it here. Many BCers do that.

Thanks Mickey. It's my Irish half you have to thank for that. I bought the original vinyl shortly after its release in the late seventies. I recorded it to cassette and left the LP behind when I left Ireland to return home in the eighties. The tape is worn out now. I can listen to the digital release via DDG's ad free view of YT but I want the CD case and artwork, sleeve notes etc. I'd like very much to support the re-release by buying the disc if it's at all possible. MIG emailed me straight back and asked where I am and where I shop for records. I've mailed back with HMV and Rough Trade as two outlets that are within a reasonable distance from home. Short rant; The "digital first" approach that many services now try to get everyone buying into doesn't work for me. Payments are often stopped by the need to return a link that they want to send to my non existent "smart" 'phone - grrr. I could receive that security link by email but I do not give out my email address generally. You have to be very important to me to get that. Internet banking is not in that category. I remain defiant. I am not a digital entity. I disagree with most online account Ts&Cs as is my right. It is a matter of choice not a legal requirement. Pardon me for being belligerent about it.

Don't forget the black light poster paint and UV strip light.

YES! Good choice. I wish I had thought of that myself. Heeheehee.

I chased Rough Trade this afternoon and they said it was now showing a "Deleted". Their chap said that could mean that Proper Music had sold their stock but the disc might still be available... I tried to contact MIG but the listed 'phone number seems broken. I have filled out a message form on their site and am waiting to see if they respond.

I'd never have guessed... Great looking strap.

Black for me too. I suppose I could get used to the white body but I don't think it works as well for two tone music. Of course, A strong yellow body would be excellent.

I'm oscillating with excitement. (Shhh! Nobody tell Henry Cole about this or he'll start buying up the rest of the unwanted cabs for his "upcycling" TV program.)

On collective nouns - BEFORE AFTER

Will do. Although Rough Trade's Nottingham shop lists it, we all know that it is an optimist who would take that at face value. Fortunately, I am one but I will believe it when I see it spinning on my deck. No need for apologies. Much appreciated all the same.

Update. HMV aren't willing to deal with me in real life (by telephone). Rough Trade in Nottingham is the next best option and they are going to let me know on Monday if they can hold it for me at their shop. It's a bit more expensive but for the luxury of cutting out most of the digital feckwittery, it should be worthwhile.

Welcome Fugazi. You're not the first new member I've heard saying something similar. I sure you won't be the last. We thrive on humour here. We have to. If we didn't laugh about the way things are today we'd have to cry instead. Who has time for that? Enjoy.

BIG woof! Two eighteens? I want them at ear level either side of my head, heeheehee, instant brain liquidiser.

Welcome Mark. Zoom B3 owner here. I am slightly overwhelmed (as a hobby bassist) by the seemingly infinite combinations that this relatively simple multi effect unit is capable of. I have really only scratched the surface with what it can do. I am encouraged to hear that the brand is used by working musicians as you describe above. If you ever feel inclined, I'd love to see a post on how you would use it. Good point regarding affordable, yet playable instruments. Check out the Build Diaries. There is a lot of interesting stuff, from workable bodges to complete builds of boutique standard. Enjoy.

I hope you can do a build thread for the cab to drawer storage conversion. I promise not to throw rotten fruit.

This is the sort of band that makes it worth getting spruced up for a night out. Keep up the good work all ye.

Not yet Peter, I haven't been into Derby lately. When I go next I will see what HMV say. Also, I'm waiting for next month's income minus Council Tax, Water Rates etc before I can do much else. Don't worry. If there is one to be had I will find it.

Bill Of Materials? Welcome to the forum K.

I haven't tried it personally but I think with patience and careful control of the heat source (soldering iron @Andyjr1515?) it is less work than filling and gives you a better result. Ought to be cheaper too.

They look a lot like indentations. That means it should be possible to steam the exposed grain and restore the surface prior to re-coating - no filler required. i think @Andyjr1515 has done this repair a time or two.

I like that. It works well for you.

Hooray! A hat trick from Dom! Perhaps there is a kind member who would help Dom repost those pictures off of Farceberk for those of us who just use this site. Going for oak eh Dom? Good on yer!
