I've got 14 acoustics and basses on wall hangers, the rest of floor stands. I've ALWAYS used rawlplugs whenever mounting a wall hanger, I would absolutely advise you do the same, none of my hangers have ever moved and inch or looked at all wobbly over the years, and some have had to hold up some fairly heavy and expensive basses for the 4 odd years they've been in situ. Especially if you've only got the tip of your screw into the stud.

Gets everywhere that does.

9 lashes for you!! 9 lashes for everyone!

My above comment was specifically about the comment @SpondonBassed posted about vehicle destruction, not about these guitars! To be fair, these guitars were SUPER ugly!! Shame they couldn't have been repurposed but not a shame they don't exist anymore!

9 lashes should be fair penance for your transgressions. Now bring me my drinking horn and have the jester sent in!!

There is a reason for this sir... I work for Ford Motor Company and we do the same thing. PP (Post Production) units are built prior to homologation, therefore they are not and can never be legal for use on UK roads. Yes they are functional vehicles, but they very likely won't conform to the legal homologation requirements that the end result 'mass produced' vehicle will. They're primarily used for final stage testing and because they are built for testing purposes they don't need to yet conform to final legal requirements, this does unfortunately mean that they must be destroyed after purpose with proof of destruction on record for audit purposes to prove that PP vehicles never make the open road! All car manufacturers will have a very similar process. The only other use for these vehicles are 'display pieces'. We had a yellow PP Mustang in our canteen for a few years! 😂

The only mistake I've ever made was thinking I made a mistake when I didn't. 😁👍

Why advertise the fact you welched on a deal? I dont get it... I mean these things happen, fine, I can accept that, but why broadcast it? All you've done is tell everyone on BC to never buy anything from you.

Because apparently that's all they had left when I bought them! I bought them from guitarguitar and they were advertised as both silver, they called up just prior to dispatch to say one was black. I'm currently in discussions for them to take the black one back (for a few reasons) and replace it with a correct silver one. So hopefully they'll be matched in a few weeks!

New rig... again...

It is an absolutely stunning rig... can't wait to really give it a test run tomorrow at practice! I really don't know why I was surprised, I mean I loved the PJB cabs, they truly sound outstanding, but the combination of Mesa head and double Mesa cabs is something to behold. Spec-freaking-tacular. The combination of this rig with my ACG 6er and a Helix LT makes for probably the best combination of bass/rig/effects I have ever owned, or probably ever will own. Realistically, what's better out there? (Obviously it's all very subjective!) 😁 Well 'appy!

Knowing you, you'll be in charge of the killing too!

Well, I'm honestly surprised at how absolutely fecking good this sounds! I don't know why I'm surprised, but I am and it's glorious. When I die from spinal compression (8-10 days) have me buried with these...

Just thought I'd offer it up if anyone has a possible use for it... will bin it in a few days of not! It's from a Fender Rumble.

£25 for a set of 45 year old strings or £25 for a set of 2020 new strings? Can't see anyone risking it unless they buy them without realising they are older than the wheel.

45 year old strings, even if not applied to a bass, will likely be utterly unusable I would have though...

I'm absolutely aware one is more than enough, but at the price they were I'm not sorry I bought two. I can have my fill and sell one on in a year or so and probably break almost even.

Looks like you'll be lugging this around instead @Beedster. Been told by guitarguitar that they've just realised one has a black grill! Or should I say this:
