Hi @gary mac, no, let Tim have it first, then TrevorR and then, when I'm back I can take it down there, if it's not already gone. We may as well get it finished in the SE first. Thanks all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it was sold for charity, but Jim will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be picking bass up from Gary tomorrow so i could drop it back to you tomorrow evening after putting it through its paces if you like Rich ?

Grangur Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Wow, if you're sure? I can then drop it in with someone. Either Trevor in Staines or someone down south. I guess it also depends on how long @TrevorR wants it. As I see it, some folk are going to need to ship it by courier. It's only a matter of who. After all, petrol/diesel isn't free either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Is there any danger of this heading north? I'd love to get my greasy paws on it if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes North, I want pictures from there ! If someone has to make some unexpected expense for shipping, I can cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m completely easy with when and for how long. Would like to have at least a week so I can, at least, take it to a rehearsal and then try through the church PA in a service... so practicality and logistics first. Let’s make it as convenient for as many folks as poss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Ok, it seems I'll have the bass for the drive down from Bristol to Exeter on Wednesday late afternoon/evening. So I can go to either of these gents: @fiatcoupe432 - Kingsbridge, Devon @BreadBin - Trowbridge, Wilts Who would like it first? I can be in either Exeter or Trowbridge at about 18:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My English joke of the day!) Liverpool mate? I've met a couple from there in Corfu once... Oddly, I understood them very well. Isn't that weird?

Geek99 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 @Marcoelwray The welsh emblem is a dragon. The north of wales is home to people who speak Welsh as a first language, rather than English with a welsh accent as is more normal in the south of Wales @Vinny is joking about the wild countryside in the very north of wales saying that even dragons would be scared of the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the pretty part - the best view to be had round here is of fighting Staffies flanked by what's left of a steelworks. yes but Marco is Belgian and speaking almost perfect English but with little practical knowledge of British wildlife and locales. “Staffie” might leave him a bit puzzled. I was keeping it simple for him. As a speaker of a few languages, I know from bitter experience that’s it’s the hardest thing when you have to untangle irony mixed with local reference and make sense of it in the language that your head is using. I mean Vienna, new year pigs and marzipan ? That one had me thrown till a local explained it slowly @Marcoelwray a staffie is a slang name for a breed of dog, a Staffordshire terrier. Heavy, thick set, often used in illegal dog fighting. Some are nice and some are unpredictable at best.
