Based on the 24th to 28th window you could easily add an extra couple of days just to arrive in UK. Then add another couple of days just for PF to sort and convert the tracking. I wouldn't be concerned until a few days into September. The original tracking ought to ping the handover in UK. I have had DHL from Germany arrive completely unannounced by the German tracking so you never know your luck.

Made in UK. Real mystery machine. 208 = 2x8'' speakers, in a self powered box = an idea before its time.

Cash is suffering much greater depreciation than bass gear thanks to inflation. Hang onto it. Then you have no impediment to grabbing an opportunity to get back into bassing. I was out of 'the scene' for a few years and hardly so much as picked up a bass. Didn't even cross my mind to sell my gear. These days I am mostly playing jazz after impressing a jazzer in the audience at an open mic. I had installed myself as house bassist playing along with whatever needed bass, rock country reggae pop original samba groove, you name it I played it, or dropped out if I had no idea wtf was happening. The jazzer had a drummer lined up for an improv project. We had one jam and lined up a gig. It paid a pretty penny to play whatever came to mind as loud as we liked. Best rates ever. Private parties for fans. Damn I miss that band!

I sent a bass away with a computer specialist courier no worries. Their truck could hold all manner of giant monitor screens and boxes with dividers and tie downs to separate stuff from banging into other stuff. They weren't any more expensive than Chuckitt & Smashitt Couriers Inc.

..until you stop with the boomp boomp boomp and all of a sudden the band sounds like half the members went to the bar.

The GK is readily fixable by an authorized technician. First step is accomplishable by any and all bassists: Insert a 1/4" lead between the fx send and fx return sockets. If I had a dollar for every time this sorts a 'dead' GK that still lights up I would have enough for an overseas holiday bar tab.

Still? It's a corruption of very old slang for the generation that was born in the baby boom that followed World War II. ''Baby Boomers''. One day, relatively recently, some smart smart derrière GenX or Y or summat took exception to the correction of the errors of his ways by a senior citizen and dismissed them with the retort ''Ok Boomer''. Meaning ''I hear you but you are irrelevant to me''. This made the news because Boomers watch the news and this was important.

Must be a powerful singer, less mic gain ftw.

There's two rules to open jamming. Don't play if you don't what the next note is going to be. Never stop with the bass. C'est la vié.

I wish you many more years of going boompity boom boom.

I am no tech but I know a guy who is: @agedhorse , who designed your amp.!!! My 10c is if it's unaffected by the volume knob it has to be after the knob where it starts or in the knob itself.

The Elf has the power to do a lot of gigging with an extension cab. Seems a bit overkill for your purposes.

Boomer is short for ''50's baby boom born person''. Many due to check out in coming years.

It's back to posting but saving in the editor as unposted when the post is an imported quote. Eg Quordle results.

Would your application be more favourably considered when plod have washed their hands of the matter? If I was the layby manager I would spend my lunch break going over the footage and get a screenshot of the crims' plate for the applicant to hassle plod with.

Twice a month well paid fed and watered would be wonderful. Where do I sign up?

Iirc from the last time I was looking at your rules there is a system in place to kind of pre clear your import. Effectively the forms have all been prefilled and the fees calculated so all they have to do is confirm it is the item and it skips on if you have already paid. Maybe next time...

Privacy laws protect randoms from being snooped on without justification, unless UK is behind the times wrt to digital privacy.

Muscle memory plus ears.

They would only be allowed to give the footage to the cops. Hopefully a vanload of gear passes the threshold of giving a damn to investigate.

I think your Dad never played a note or he would know there's a helluva lot going on with the plucking and muting. Same with bowing strings.

Ime Post was responsible for holding stuff until you paid and they were the ones sending the letter of demand. ''We got your stuff, pay up''. Then when Customs got theirs they would let Post know to let it go. No doubt a carryover from days of yore with stuff being thrown off ships onto docks and nobody can take it away until the duty is paid.

What are the proportions of leftys playing on musical instruments that are 'handed' vs 'one size fits all'? Afaik only guitars and electric bass come lefty. Wind and classical string instruments all come one size fits all. If you are lefty and have your heart set on violin you play it righty. My bro is lefty and jumped into clarinet after a govt sponsord touring demo group visited our primary school. I don't think he had even started recorder at that stage so handedness probably wasn't on his mind, rather the haunting tones of the lady on clarinet. But I wonder if leftys generally gravitate to wind and keys if they don't fancy twang town?

Reading the lower than E notes would stuff me but I could get it out if it wasn't too fast. Moderately fast with fire, maybe not.

Best have all the totally correct visa stamps in the passports then. Back in the day I toured Europe by train. I got a bunch of visas in Greece to get me round the ex communist countries. Half the time I never got a stamp. I forget which train ride it was but one time the guy was intently studying my passport for a disconcerting amount of time before half grunting half exclaiming a one word announcement and handing it back. The passenger opposite translated after he left. ''Perfect''. I think he was sure the hippy looking character was going to be a catch and disappointed to find I was all legal.
