As for BT , they're infinity set top box was pants when I was with them . Being told my wardrobe was the problem with their crap signals proves how rubbish they were . When I moved home , they sent a letter threatening me with debt collectors to my post office temporary address for £38 . Thing is I settled up when I moved , but their administration system said otherwise .Also, they were the last utility company to get disconnected when I moved . Truly awful company . 
 

I could put Unilever , procter and gamble and edf also . However, as procter and gamble and Unilever have so many household staple items , it would be nigh on impossible to avoid completely . As for Edf , they are one of the big energy companies that are going nowhere and smaller companies can still be swallowed up , amalgamated or dissolved etc. If edf stopped harassing me for smart meters they wouldn't be a problem .

 

Apple for example should be on my list , but I still use their electronics . 

Ha! "Woke".

Posted by The Rutles Fan Club on FB:

"After being lost for 51 years, Dirk McQuickley’s missing guitar string has reportedly been found. This guitar string was special as it played only certain hit-making notes, and many believe its loss was the reason for the Rutles break-up.

 

The current owner (possible thief) of the guitar string has made the following statement: “I’m keeping it. If Dirk wants the string back, he can come engage in fisticuffs with me.” More on this exciting story as it develops …"

Ouch!

I've bought a couple from Ricky sounds, and they've both been the Tubeampology ones.

Ah, good to know!

Rickysounds is also the place for your pickup bezel, but you probably already knew that 😀

I would suggest buying pickup bezels from the designer Tubeampology - the Rick version is, ironically, a rip-off of the design and very much a cheap knock-off. I've owned both, the original is of a higher quality.

I'm assuming the ones on Rickysounds are the Rickenbacker version but I could be wrong.

Get Out and Stay Out - the 'oo

Head Room - 10cc

I'm surprised we made it all the way to page two before the inevitable "the Beatles weren't all that" comments started...

That's a spectacular example, the sunburst bodies often look like random chopping boards!

It's a pity this is collection only, these are fantastic basses.

(Headstock looks like a 2x2)

 

It appears to share some parentage with this Japanese monster - released as Burns in Japan and Imperial in the States:-

 

 

That does look similar, not sure if the body shapes are the same though.

I can't find any pics of the bass version, but as luck would have it there seems to be a modern copy available - Pure Salem, a new one to me.
