  1. Try one of these? https://slingerstraps.com/products/harness-strap-guitar-strap
  2. Looked - nothing for me there, but others might find things of interest.
  3. As a follow-up, our appeal against the TfL fine has been upheld; in their representation TfL produced 4 pages of falsehoods and concocted rules (they spliced together partial rules to form new wordings) which the adjudicators describe as "verbiage" and which our representation took apart line-by-line. The adjudicators finding includes the following statement: Back to the topic of this thread - the risk is that (i) appointed upholders of the law can and will overstep the mark in attempting to implement an action, and (ii) it can take a lot of time and effort to ensure that an unjust charge is overturned.
  4. Sure - I just find it ironic.
  5. The pictures form part of the description and the logo says "this is a Fender bass"; you can't sell a fake Fender by saying "this is not a Fender" or just not mentioning it at all. So, it was neither a Limelight nor a Fender, but had branding for both. (Another group goes so far as to say they won't even allow sale of parts instruments with genuine Fender necks on them.)
  6. I guess you got the right person to look at it; I’ve stepped away from eBay. Did you report it as a counterfeit Limelight or a counterfeit of a counterfeit of a Fender?
  7. eBay don't care about counterfeits - they wouldn't take my word that something which had "Made in USA" on it and the seller described it as "Made in Japan" was really a counterfeit made in China!
  8. It had a brief moment in the limelight. 🙂
  9. The old "it owes me..." assertion.
  10. Years ago Schecter used to do a catalogue of guitar parts you could buy - enough to build a whole instrument. It was great. I think now it's just the name. (Oops - posted at pg. 1, then read @NancyJohnson's post; as I recall they were good quality and not so cheap.)
  11. It's as genuine as the Fender logo on the front of the headstock.
  12. Good point - that's why I could never have one of those.
  13. ...Squier... S-q-u-i-e-r
  14. Steve's Guitar Centre (Cosham, nr. Portsmouth) has one.
  15. The brand is Squier, S-q-u-i-e-r. (It's the name of a family business which Fender acquired.)
  16. I've just inherited my work 2021 Intel Macbook Pro 15"; I've just erased it, created my account, and logged in once. I'd like to set it up as a DAW. I'm guessing Reaper is a possibility? I'll be needing an instrument (guitar/bass/synth) interface too...
  17. Phew - the holes were still there, so it's back to stock. My new cheap 500C temperature controlled soldering iron didn't budge the existing solder though - dunno if it was super lead-free or what!
  18. I woke up to freezing fog, so I'm glad I stayed in. I've done a couple of jobs which had been sitting around for a while and now it's wings & roasted peppers for lunch!
  19. Well, today I'm reverting the V2 bridge on my 2013 jetglo back to the original. The V2 saddles are bottomed out and won't go low enough, so the action is too high and I've been reaching for other basses instead. @briansbrew had the same issue too. I'm hoping the guy who fitted the bridge (whilst it was in for a refret) didn't fill in the original screw holes!
  20. Alex said that Neil and Geddy were not at all happy about that. But the next day Neil apologised after some of his friends said how great it was.
  21. I might give it a miss - there's a couple of people on that list whom I'd like to give the opportunity of insulting me F2F rather than online, but I don't think it's worth a 2-hour drive for the pleasure.
  22. I don't quite understand headless basses with tuners on the headstock.
  23. I’m still debating whether to go.
