Maybe not countersunk.

It's a slotted countersunk screw.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Fingers crossed you can come @Geek99. And, more importantly, that the job situation works out.

We're not sorry - we're very appreciative! 🤓 👍

Evening chums! I have a TS100 soldering iron bought a while back. Changing the tip this evening and somehow dropped the little countersunk screw that holds the tip onto the body. I have searched for ages trying to find it - the workshop is now absolutely spotless! - but I still can't find the blessed screw. Anyone happen to know what thread the screw is, or know where I could get a replacement? It's less than M3.5, but I have nothing smaller I can try.

Clapshot - now there's a meal designed to give you calories through the long winter months on the croft.

Haggis, neeps and tatties plus a large whisky is a perfect meal.

I can't think why it took me so long to realise! Clearly the turnip-head in this instance is south of the border.

Re: "neepster" on reading that word it just occurred to me that @neepheid should probably be pronounced "neep-heed", in a Scottish accent. Not "neeffeed" in an English accent, which is how I have been reading it in my head for the past seven years. Am I correct, or now being thick in a yet another novel and embarrassing way??

You prefer the pink one, @pete.young? https://lindoguitars.com/product/lindo-b-stock-kawa-short-scale-electric-bass-guitar/ I do quite like them, but the 5er they have is boring by comparison.

I used to wear my grandfather's old wristwatch to school. When we studied radioactivity in 6th form and got out the gieger counters, the front face of that watch gave a reading as high as the sources we had taken from their llittle lead-lined boxes. There was virtually nothing through the back as far as I remember. The watch got lost in the late 80's 😥

Never heard of them, but looking at the web site I rather like their designs. Definitely need amplification though.

I'm going to the SW Bash in October, so that'll be my fix for the year. 😎

Sadly I am out for this one. It's Rememberance Sunday. I'm in the band for the church service and we're playing one of my songs to close. Hope the venue survives the LF onslaught!

Multiple Wows!! Looks great, but I agree you need to swap the control knobs. Black and grey to match the headstock?

Could you engrave one on the fretboard at 12th fret position? Inlay with Luminlay? Sorry for the mad ideas, I'm just terribly jealous of your dad getting such a great present!

I expect Rob fixed the hospital error with a new nose - made by 3D printing cartilage 😉

Little known fact, Trace and Elliott's ancestors were both bakers in the middle ages. Thank goodness @neepheid's not bringing a Trace Elliott Fan!!
