Well, thanks UPS. They shipped my new bass from Tamworth to Amsterdam (where I live). And then to Stanford. And then to Amsterdam. And then to Stanford. And now it's on its way to Amsterdam for the third time in two days. Great.

I just called the paranoia hotline.
A guy answered "how the hell did you get this number‽".

Long-shot, but anyone in South Bucks (High Wycombe way) have a Spector Euro or Rebop 4 string? I’d love to try one out!

God help us all.

There's a first. We walked away from a gig without playing a note as the pub thought we had too many amps (we are a 5 piece) and our amps looked "too loud". We hadn't even plugged in or fully set up. When they asked us to lose a band member or play after 10pm when their restaurant was closed, we packed our gear and left. Lord Raglan in Wokingham, for the record. My advice: never accept a gig there

When you order la Bella 760fs and they arrive a day early you get excited to get them on, the disappointment when you open the parcel and they’ve sent you la Bella 760fs-‘m’ 😞
Luckily I didn’t open the string packet…

TBH, I think you could probably substitute the name of any airline there at the moment.
COVID and lockdowns wrecked the airlines business model and the industry hasn't had the gumption to reinstate capacity in preparation for the upturn when the rules were relaxed.
I'm not defending them and the fact that they took (and are taking) bookings for flights which may likely not occur is pretty shameful, but I think the airlines would go bust if they really did right by their passengers at the moment.
That said, I'm currently off work with COVID, thanks to my son, who brought it home from either a holiday in Spain (their Gatwick flight was cancelled last minute, but they managed to nab an alternative from Luton), an Ed Sheeran gig, a couple of nights out in London, his gym, or any of a number of other things he's done in the past few weeks. He also had his girlfriend over to stay, so she's likely taken it home.
Though I'm not particularly a fan of fling anyway, the idea of traveling at the moment seems just a complete smorgasbord of risks to me.
However, I hope you get it sorted out - good luck!

The famous 'This England' speech from Shakespeare's Richard II is much beloved by demented flagwavers:
"This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm,
This England."How many of them know that the speech continues thus:
"This dear dear land is now leased out
Like to a tenement or pelting farm:
England, bound in with the triumphant sea
Is now bound in with shame,
With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:
That England, that was wont to conquer others,
Hath made a shameful conquest of itself."Shakespeare knew.

Both family cars damaged on consecutive days. Law of averages loves me!

My 5 year old son has just been chatting to me and checking out my basses. His observation was that one of them is 'broken and not right'.
I suspect he is not the first and will not be the last person to conclude this in relation to headless basses.
