In my experience I found Parcel2Go were only a go between for customer to courier company and when things went wrong, I was directed back to the courier company. You were lucky you got through to P2go!

This CD is available in the U.K. via https://propermusic.com/products/visitor2035-visitor2035?_pos=1&_psq=visitor&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Its the 1970's latter end of....I'm playing bass, answering ads in Melody Maker and making slow progress. An advert draws my attention and I eventually have a jam with the band down in deepest Sussex outside of Horsham. Visitor 2035 go on to do a series of gigs at universities and some festivals. Whats most important is that we start rehearsals with some pretty hefty jamming which has served me well. We respond to a series of adverts from a German record company who were advertising on train platform poster boards! We sign on the dotted lines and record an album down at Pebble Beach studios in Worthing. The record company have taken on a few UK bands, I think 'A Flock Of Seagulls' was one. They falter on our release date for 9 months and slowly leave us behind. Its the dawn of punk and our Weather Report driven Chick Corea meets Brand X music is slowly disappearing from the mainstream. Abandoned, we go our separate ways, keeping in touch now and then and for a couple of fun gigs. 2022....we get a call from Hannover based M.I.G. Music.de ...we have an old fan working there and he wants to re-release the album, now CD. Why not hah! Its a fusion of rock jazz type driven instrumental music of which many of us were partial too at the time. Proper Music UK sell it as do M.I.G. We have world release, wow, didnt get that before... NOW with a recent review from R&R latest magazine edition….and bass gets mentioned first! I hope this short sound clip and picture link works: VISITOR 2035 CD mix and photos.m4v

Nonsense pricing….

Twin pack of Da'addrios off Dave the MungoBass.....great dealing with Dave, strings sent all on time and well packed....cheers Dave.

Jansen…big name in NZ from the 1960’s……my start up playing days in Wellington NZ had me getting a Jansen tube bass amp. My drummer/cabinetmaker built two robust 4x12 cabs for me. I was probably loud 😄 The amp was great except, the tubes hung upside down in the amp’s open back enclosure and would rattle loose, (due to my volume 😜) Great idea of mine, turn the amp upside down so the tubes would be sitting upright which was sort of a bad idea because the top mounted strap handle became a pivot for the amp to ‘self turn’ on and there would be several looks of horror and calls to me as the amp teetered on the edge of falling off the bass stack……a learning curve eh…..never lost the amp of the stack though.

Yes to getting Neutrik.

I am leaning towards reuniting with the Schaller 3D in black but crikey, prices (and availability) have changed!

Rufus Reed has photos in his (old) book of DBs strapped upside down in a seat…I wonder if he got the bass’s meal and drinks!

The Schaller 3D will move when changing strings if you inadvertently pull the string across the roller…

Has anyone been using Goldo parts from Germany on basses and have they found a difference for better or not so over other 'established' names like Schaller, Hipshot etc?

Business concluded within an hour with Gary/Cetera for a spare pickup I had that he wanted! Terrific dealings, thanks Gary.
