  1. Been trying to return a shirt, using Evri’s return service. Printed the label Evri emailed me, attached it and took it to two of Evri’s recommended return shops. Both times the very patient staff scanned the bar code over and over again but with no luck. In both instances they tried a number of different approaches to registering the return, even confirming that the email and instructions I showed them were correct. I took it another shop this morning by way of a last resort. Again, no joy. I did the mandatory “Evri chance it’ll get lost anyway” jibe at the top of my voice as I took back off the member of staff. To my surprise a fella behind me said “I’m an Evri driver, let me see if I can help?” We went outside to his van, he took out his scanning device and it registered without an issue. He took my parcel, and issued me with a receipt and a card with his name and contact number on. I checked my emails and there it was, registered as collected and on its way to the depot. Look, it may never see the light of day again, but I have to say that the courier couldn’t have been more helpful and at least I do have some evidence of the return being in the system so have a chance of a refund. I’m pretty sure that he went against Evri policy, so this isn’t necessarily a shout to the company, and no it’s not a £25,000 Wal that’s gone missing, more a nice story…. as you were…
  2. Should be good. It’s bank holiday Monday next week btw. Drop me a PM.
  3. I don’t know sorry, never heard the Elf. Might be some on here that have compared. You're welcome to pop over and have a listen 😎
  4. Hi Mickey I don’t venture that way anymore I’m afraid. But could do a halfway meet in Shaftesbury if that’s convenient? cheers John
  5. Lovely lightweight compact yet powerful rig. Warwick Gnome 200 watt head and 2x10 4 Ohm cab. Drawing out the full juice from the head. Comes with mains lead and Speakon/Jack cable. Not been out the house since I bought them. in great condition. Not posting but can meet up or you can come and pick up. I can be around Bristol/Yeovil/Bath area.
  6. £275 plus pp Hohner B2A fretless bought from the gentleman and scholar @Pete1967 beginning of this year. Pete installed the Agi pre, and new battery box, along with a lovely low set up with new Hotwires rounds. I subsequently bought a new (5 string) set of Steinberger strings which are boxed and unused, along with a new Steinberger synapse strap extender, Included in the sale. It’s been kept in the Warwick Rockbag I bought for it. The bass plays wonderfully and the Agi is a very flexible preamp and can go subtle to beast and anything in between. Things to note, it doesn’t have an led light, if that’s bothers you. It’s been capped nicely with a …cap. New jack socket fitted and all sounds fab! I’m going off in a different direction and am selling most of my bass gear, so this is available. If you want the beast without the weight (6.6 lbs!!) then this baby is for you. I don’t have packing materials or time for the next week or so and would prefer a collection or hand over for now. I’m in Bath but can travel within reasonable distance by pre agreement. Any questions, feel free to…
  7. Status Groove Basses. Best neck profile for my hands. Massive regrets selling mine. Never see them come up. All that aside….great to see Dave Grohl playing drums again. 😂
  8. This is what my uncle used to say. Lovely bloke, terrible ringmaster.
  9. I’m pre CBS. And so's my wife.
  10. I think you’ll find it’s “Get thee behind me….and tell me if there’s anyone watching…” 🤣
  11. I thought a “sound check” was the only opportunity for the guitarist to practice, no?
  12. The sunburst P body with the ebony board would be an exact replica of my fretless P in mid 80’s. 😍
  13. Oh for goodness sake, I really can do without this porn. That neck is blo@dy lovely and miss it. Looks gert lush on that body. You’re a bad man @Beedster a naughty bad man. 😱
  14. Bass seat still vacant. Great songs. As a bassist, the drummer is a dream to play with (Kieth Harrison ex Pineapple Thief). Own rehearsal space, tour bus and I’ve left a nice Eden 8x10 rig for the incumbent player to use 😎. Album just finished. Might suit someone already in a band as they’re not prolific gigging.
  15. Or you can buy it for more money.. But with same skilled stringing approach for that peace of mind you need buying from the other side of the world. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/187046247157?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=m7z77tJNRj-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=apR0TlihRse&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  16. Take that filth away from here! My clicking finger is very very twitchy Lordy that’s a lot of quality bass for little money 😳
