Please could someone walk me through how to delete images?

Click on your avatar/username top right 

Select ‘my attachments’ 

Go through (only 1 page at at a time) and check the box on the right of the pictures you want to delete 

Once you select an attachment, a bin symbol will appear with the amount of selections you’ve made 

Finish all the selecting for that page and then hit the bin symbol to delete and confirm when asked.

I find it best to start at the last page of attachments and work backwards.

I would say it's fine. You didn't buy the bass, you bought the potential to win it. Raffle tickets aren't gear, last I checked. I would just say well done and celebrate your good fortune, jealously

 

I didn’t even have to buy a ticket. It was GG’s wins Stingray comp that only required an email entry. As it closed over 2 weeks ago and I haven’t heard anything, I can only assume I didn’t win it .

first long service award offered is for 25 years,

Cheapskates! The place I worked at the longest gave 5 and 10 year awards, whether there was anything beyond that, I don’t know, no one achieved that during my tenure AFAIR.

Still, useful gear avoidance for you @neepheid. Here’s a thing, what if one entered a competition, where the prize was a bass and you won? I did this and didn’t win, but it did make me wonder.

googling where Tenbury wells is... 

 

Fortunately for me, too far. This would have seen an early exit from the abstinence thread if I were nearer.

So, they've offered me £25 off the purchase price. I think I'm ok with that.

It seems to be their standard, damage discount, amount (I received the same for my chipped bass headstock). It’s reasonable enough and certainly saves the agro of doing a return to the EU, plus instant mojo.

The picture on the BBC looks like it’s been badly photoshopped for some reason, not the bass, the guys left hand. Maybe it’s just my brain playing tricks, but it looks wrong.

The chipped paint is disappointing though. You don't expect that on a new instrument. 

Send Thomann an email with picture (if you haven’t already) and they’ll offer you a discount.

Just perusing the Ibanez site as I still have a hankering for a bass with the Powerspan pickups after trying one a while back. I fully appreciate Ibanez do things differently, but this is just.....eeeesh.

I heard some clips of one of the Premiums with Nordstrand Big Singles in. Sounded so good I really wanted one, but I don't like open pore necks.

I love those Big Singles. I had an SR1605 and when I first played it at a gig, where I was plainly digging in a bit more, I initially wondered where the glorious, raunchy sound was coming from and it took a little while to realise it was me. It was a really nice bass but, at the time, I found the body a bit small for me. Nowadays, with my playing more short scales, it wouldn’t be an issue at all, although I still don’t like the gold hardware.
