I bought a Boschma 2U shallow from them a few days ago -- their service was good on the phone and they delivered within days, though they charge extra for shipping. Cheers Mark

Derrenleepoole wins it -- sorry markstuk, your PM came in at the same time to the minute but Derren's just got in first. I'll first-class post it within the next couple of days. Cheers Mark

This is an unwanted preview copy in a printed cardboard wallet. Musically, it's okay but not really my cup of tea. First person to PM me their address gets it. [b]TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The CD is watermarked so the promo company can trace it back to me. The new owner acknowledges that he or she will not sell it on nor upload tracks to the internet.[/b] Cheers Mark

They look to be the same -- you can see the words Guitar Ranch in the background of some of the police photos. Cheers Mark

But Norfolk Vintage Guitar verified it was a "genuine bass" Cheers Mark

Gone bump.

[quote name='Musky' post='1145100' date='Feb 28 2011, 09:54 PM']At the end of the day HMRC can impound your bass and leave you to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bass went out with you, that it's exactly the same one, has already had UK duties paid on it or that you've paid exactly what you've declared.[/quote] +1. I have that criminal record Cheers Mark

Yes, my metal band played there last summer with Godsized. It's run by a biker group and has an eight-bed dormitory in the back. It was a four or five band line-up. The PA was huge and sounded good, the sound guy seemed to know what he was doing but the stage was raised and boomy. It was packed but we didn't go down too well, if I recall. Godsized fared better but they headlined. Afterwards, the bikers looked after us very well. We partied with them until about 5am. They were great guys. It's worth going for the experience but, as you say, the money doesn't really make it worthwhile. To top it off, I got a speeding ticket on the way home -- watch that stretch of the M180 for cameras and coppers. Cheers Mark

I got one yesterday ... for £23. A new set of strings? Shouldn't moan, I suppose. Cheers Mark

Could you all chip in and offer to buy the guy Sunday lunch at his local each week? That would get him out of the house and solve the problem. And it's cheaper than a rehearsal studio. A bit of lateral thinking Cheers Mark

Oh, and of course the blues version of Don't Believe A Word as a tribute to the late, great GM. Cheers Mark

Since I've Been Loving You -- Led Zep. Nice bass line, too. Or Tea For One (Zep again) -- obscure but tasty. Cheers Mark

This is an unwanted preview copy. Message me your address and I'll post it. Cheers Mark

I don't know about DBs -- but I recently looked at 4x4s and it came down to this. You either have a proper 4x4 and not a great deal of load space, or lots of space and less of the 4x4. The Land Rover Discovery seven-seater has a fair bit of space with two seats down -- and three-way-split middle seats to allow for the headstock. It's widely respected but has a lot less space than an estate car while it weighs in at two tonnes and drinks fuel. And it has an annoying split tailgate that means you have to lift stuff over a stuck out lower lip. The best load space I could find was in the Audi Q7, which has an easy tailgate and a fancy system to lower the suspension when you're piling stuff in. However, it's tank-like, expensive to buy and run while the "4x4" is a Haldex system that shunts power around where it's needed (so not a real 4x4). I came to the conclusion I'd be better off with a van. Cheers Mark

I love those T-birds -- particularly the first. They're great reversed headstocks. Wish I was heading to Nashville with enough cash to buy Edit: They cost around £2,000 before fancy woods, shipping, tax and duty. Cheers Mark
