He's got himself in a monkey trap entirely of his own making. Probably the only way out is to get some professional advice/help to structure his debts and obligations to customers, come clean to those customers by opening up authentic and honest channels of communication, and possibly seeks some form of coaching/counselling to help him avoid doing the same thing al over again. But all of that would require a level of bravery that most people don't possess, and the ability to sacrifice short-term security for something perhaps more meaningful. But he may simply see no option. Most people who do bad shit aren't bad people, they just f*** up and fall into a spiral of covering up with each stage making everything worse still. I've seen it happen to some good guys who had real talent but poor business sense, started out trying to do good and ended up hated by everyone. Not saying this is the case here as I don't know anything like enough of the facts, but I doubt he set out for things to be this way. I'm not meaning to be insensitive to or in any way critical of those who've lost their cash

Well put Lawrie 👍

Not paid much attention to this thread over the years, but wow, it's a joy to work one's way through the pages 👍

You need an Enfield Nick

I can echo all of that Nik, just realised that unless Nick/@Cairobill has two feedback threads I didn't leave him any feedback when he bought my Mesa Carbine, which when he got it home was dead (to paraphrase MPFC it was an ex-amplifier)!!!!! Many polite and understanding Whatsapp messages later the problem was resolved, but not only was it an absolute pleasure to meet him, he was an absolute gent about the issues, at no stage suggesting any fault or similar on my part. And yes, the guy can sure play that bass 👍

Ha ha, I'm a fair way off that stage mate Forgot the mention the scroll, which is held on to the headstock by the tuners only ....

Congrats Keith ❤️👍

Hey Keith, a very long time, I hope all is well and the house move in a positive direction? Yes, please put my name on one copy of Goldsby Goes without saying I'd love to see what else you might be moving on also...... 🤔

So, this bass.............. Is not going to be as straight forward as I'd hoped Firstly the PVA in the neck pocket is stubborn Although having said that, repeated and patient reapplication of white vinegar is slowly getting through the PVA on the heel But, not only is the fingerboard slightly detached from the neck But there's a crack in the neck itself But the body itself is in great condition, and looks wonderful so worth persisting This is going to be a lovely instrument again 👍

Ooh, I’d love one if you’d like to sell one to @jazzyvee and one to me Keith 🙏

Lovely story but doesn’t surprise me Brian, @Clarky is one of life’s true gents ❤️

Which not only makes me like Karm even more but demonstrates just how strong his inflienve in the band and their music was 👍

Hi Mart, that is jolly kind of you mate, many many thanks, i'll drop you a PM 👍

I suspect that if you heard Mick Karn's tracks isolated and unprocessed they'd sound a little but less impressive than the fully mixed and mastered tracks you're familiar with, so keep going (the guy presenting the video in the first post is clearly quite a handy player but his tone seems a long way from Karn's 80's/90's peak) 👍
