Back again - it's like yesterday once more...

That is remarkably awful.

Well, she certainly had her fan base, but I never latched on to her; I found her a bit disparaging of the music I liked and a somewhat offputting on the OGWT. (I guess "passed" is a shortening of "passed away", which has been a term used for many years.)

My interest in music peaked when I could download easily from Pirate Bay; I'd have a listen, buy the album, and often go and see a band. As the option withered away, so did my interest and I've not really got into watching on YT as much as I might've. The last band I saw was James Oliver at the Kempton Park Guitar Show - he was really good.

...and we used to have to sweep the lake...

Back then it was the norm to leave school and go onto the Dole.

They are rubbish; both the guitar and bass versions. I’ve written about the ones I’ve had; I’ve now replaced failed and second attempt bass ones with a Hohner one and a failed guitar whammy one with a custom one from a chap in Ireland. They are copies of the Steinberger ones, but are made of Swiss cheese and not up to the job.

£3k for an Ibernaise?

£10k for a questionable looking 1963 MIM Fender.

Yep - there wasn’t a fire sale going on. I did get a Tele pickguard which I needed for one of my projects, but they said most of it was going back. Shop floor stock was depleted and lots of boxes were out for shipping.

I was in there today - they close Sunday week (the 14th).

Oh, there's a thread about it...

There's a poster on the door, at the desk, and they're in the process of packing things up. I had a bit of a chat with one of the folks there.

OK, this isn't eBay, but as a homage to @TheGreek I've put it here 'cos they had this. Also, the Spinnaker looked a bit like an alien spaceship had landed. PMT is closing Sunday week (the 14th).

It's streets ahead of others I've seen!

It's either AI-generated or run through a translater.

If you bring up the various coloured ones in separate tabs and select them in turn, they are the identical picture, just coloured. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315038797956 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315038774533 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315036032343 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315038818278 It's either a joke or a scam. Or perhaps they're placeholders for the seller to fill in later?

£450 is a fair price. Interestingly, I'm going to Brizzle next week, but I think I'll give it a miss. I had one new back when they first came out; I sold it on when I bought a real Status Graphite.

Tell the guitarist you're thinking of doing the solos in a couple of songs.

I've always wondered why Jesus had a Mexican name...

Nah - it's just a misguided notion, pending the realisation that a larger one is what's always been the requirement.
