America Online?

 

Yes. Many many years ago, AOLers posting in newsgroups would quote the entirety of a post in order to add "Me 2". So This then got spoofed by non-AOLers who wanted to say "Me 2" saying "AOL" instead (and keeping the quoting down).

Ah! Ok. Very good. 😂

Ah - ballsed up:

 

The “hilarious” Flamenco plates arrived - and instead of the manky, trashy white/cream plastic I wanted - they’re clear.

 

Far too understated.

 

Luckily, I’ve returned them to swap…

 

A postage mistake to the tune of a tenner - for a visual joke. Knobber.

 

Also, now the bass is settling…I’ve realised - in my hasty sanding, I’ve flattened off a spot I didn’t want to in the fretboard…🙄 so unless I want a ridiculously high action - I need to get a 9.5” radius block (based on a fender jazz fretless radius).

 

The last time I did this it was a brand new 5 string with a very flat fingerboard - not sure I’ve worked enough of the 40/45 years play wear on this one yet.

 

So, before recording - more work to do…

 

Wish @Andyjr1515lived around the corner.

 

I’ve still not braved the nut yet.

Hi Andy

 

You are very welcome to borrow a 9.5" block. PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post. :)

 

The lineup looks fab!

Have bought one should arrive tomorrow, thank you for the lovely offer.

 

Lineup is ace; just need to learn how to play the blummin things.

Yes you can. And if it's Scotch then you definitely should!

I shudder to think what he would buy in that scenario. A reindeer perhaps, or a sitar

I’d swap out our only cow for some magic beans.
