Machines Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 No problem for completing January for me, I have no money spare. However have sold some annual leave and get 50 hours pay in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've skipped to 7.28 so you can hear how it sounds: Finally listened to this. I like it! I'm struggling a little to imagine it sitting in our church worship band though, so it's not going to be on my purchase list 😇😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thump Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Despite having a new bass on the way i'm still in. The reasoning is , the Mrs bought it for my upcoming birthday. This gives me 3 excuses. 1 - she bought it. 2 - its out of stock for a couple of weeks which takes us into February anyway. 3 - my birthday isn't til next month anyway. By my reckoning , i'm still in this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can’t be right can it? You’ve bought something, but then sell it?!? I can almost understand it if you sent it back from whence it came, but selling it on?

walshy Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I’ve bought 6 basses, 2 cabs, 1 head and pedals. Ill probably sell them all so I’m still in right? 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes, as long as the number of sold basses, cabs, heads and pedals equals the number of bought ones, you are still in. I already sold four basses, have so far bought only one new one, so I am currently at -3. Therefore, I am still in and can even buy three more basses 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 So far. Basses: -1 (bought 1, sold 2) Pedals: 0 (bought 1, sold 1) FTW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
