Very very nice. The guitar extrudes attitude. I’d be over the moon if I accomplished what you’ve done. Rob

I have a tiny side business that sells Astrophotography gear. We take PayPal, indeed for international orders that’s all we take. We don’t allow the NoCheques with PayPal but so far so good. However we’ve never had a customer complain about our goods. I know PayPal take a cut but it’s worth it to us. Ask me again when PayPal pink torpedos this up or a customer complains 😳 Still interested in the response here. However if there are issues , they should not be played out in public here. This is not the right forum for this. rob

I looked at this on Google as well and can see how the Authorised Payment Push Scam works. This doesn’t seem to be that, the APP appears to be based on you actually authorising a move to another bank account of a large (or any) amount of money but are given false information as to where it’s going and why. Either a dodgy seller and I’m not impugning anybody here at all or somebody pretending to be the bank and ‘alerting’ you to potential fraud and you must move your money now or lose it. This was a fairly clear explanation. https://www.psr.org.uk/our-work/app-scams/ Just read the thread again so I’m not going to get caught out but I’m sure I’ve missed something important here so what is it please? I know the banks admit to nothing but I can’t work out how this is an APP Scam. Simple words welcomed. thanks rob

Errr, it’s not just a beginners mistake …. 😉

If you want to give away any stuff, more than happy to turn up with a van to help. Absolutely no charge to you whatsoever. I’m looking for a pre 64 Precision if you happen to have one that’s taking up space and not been used 😀

I’m looking for a guitar as well. Got a lovely old Washburn that I have given to daughter so clearly I need a new one for these fat fingers to play. just got a seven guitar rack and there is a space so it’s only natural. That’s what I’ll tell the CFO , the guitar rack made me do it.

It appears that the agreement between Basschat and the third party whose name escapes me is in hold pending discussions. A lot of people aren’t happy about having their data passed to 3rd parties and lack of an easy way to opt out. rob

Power distribution board?

Welcome from North Yorkshire though we do go to Lancaster lots. Rob

Or, bear with me here, I have a radical idea, they could have brought this one https://www.epiphone.com/en-GB/Electric-Bass/Newport-Bass/Cherry Then again, I suppose they'd have then painted it badly in bright yellow. After saying all of this, I have an Ibanez Mikro that looks like somebody (not me) used it for a shovel and pick axe on a building site. Even though it looks like crap, it sounds really, really good, I have no idea how, but it's a great growly tone on it. So I thought I'd get somebody to look at the neck, I'll then sort the body out, it stands me at virtually nothing, so will be fun. I can see the sander coming out, it will have to be reliced (is that really a word?) as the thickness of the paint/plastic/covering is very thick, circa 1mm, so can't be easily repainted. With my skills, it'll be on eBay in a few weeks as I rage quite on it Rob

Looks like a hot air gun got involved at some point as well as a sanding machine. Oh well somebody is going to have to spend less than £220 to put it back to a reasonable state, whatever that would be.

I can't get my head around having a new £350 bass, deciding to strip it because you didn't like yellow, deciding it was topo much effort after just enough effort to wreck it, but not enough to give somebody else a fighting chance of finishing it and then selling it on eBay for £120. Well it's gone now so either they changed their mind or somebody brought it. Rob

No longer needed. This is the first gen Apple remote control for Apple TV's. I recall that it also works with Macbooks but could be wrong. Needs a new CR2032 battery. Thanks Rob

I have circa five pairs of Bose headphone adaptors that are for this type of Bose headphone. There are large and small. My eldest has lost the Bose headphones <sob>, so these are no longer needed. https://www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/support/products/bose_headphones_support/bose_in_ear_headphones_support/ie2_headphones.html They even come in a genuine Bose carry case which is rather nice. Free to anyone who wants them. Rob

I have two pieces of this laptop memory https://www.kingston.com/unitedkingdom/en/memory/search/discontinuedmodels?partid=KTA-MB667K2/4G Its old, I'm 99% certain it's working and fine but have no laptop to check it on. I suspect that it's 4GB with two slabs in rather than 4GB each, but TBH I simply can't remember. If anybody can use it, ask and I'll put it in the post. Thanks Rob

Sold my iPhone 7 to Ian, great comms, no issues and very funny outcome. Rob

@RikiB Suggest you draw simple banana curve around your thumb and let me know the dimensions and the height you want. Something like this below is fine. Also how are you going to attach it to the bass? A screw hole or double sided sticky tape? If it's a hole then whats the diameter of the hole, if it's sticky tape, you might need a little more surface area to stick it on. Rob

If you can give me a design, back of fag packet will do, I'll print it up for you for free and send it out. The more details the better. Thanks Rob

Just sold and swapped my iPhone X with him zero issues, great comms, easy to work with and no hassles. What else can I say? 😊

I have a few UPS's at home for work purposes. I tend to buy them second hand from a reputable firm who fit new batteries into them to replace the knackered ones. I have no conenction with them other than a customer. https://secure.ups-trader.co.uk/ I have a couple of these 1500KW to keep the computers on for long enough for a blip but also one of these smaller ones for the network comms as that comes into a different part of the house to my main office. Something like this would keep a pedalboard going for some time https://secure.ups-trader.co.uk/tower-ups/277-apc-br550gi-tower.html Weighs 6Kg, so not light but not stupidly heavy. £68 isn't bad either, can't work out the power consumption of pedals but they can't be that bad (unless they've got valves in, can they?) I'm about to buy another UPS as the ones I have are five years old and batteries go, thats about par for the course. I do fancy a 5K one and shove it in the cellar but suspect the wiring costs would be too expensive. Bit sad I suppose, lusting after a UPS Rob

Clearly not trying hard enough....

Great and easy to work with.

I'm more than happy to step into his shows for $1M. I'll even supply my own strings. In fact, he can have my job and we'll swap roles, I'm sure he loves looking at contracts, trying to work out the best way to deliver IT projects. I'll train him up in MS Teams (just in case he doesn't know), I'll introduce hime to all the people in the team, he can make a weekly contribution to the coffee and biscuit club, if he wants he can even join the lottery club, where we all split the winnings, Tracy from HR runs that. Compared to, what, stepping out on stage with a couple of setptugarians, this role is far more exciting and has a career path and possibly even a pension. Rob
