Linus27 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) [quote name='Happy Jack' post='676872' date='Dec 7 2009, 05:06 PM']Given the difficulty we've experienced collectively in attracting the attention of one particular well-known supplier to their unbelievably cr*p service, I'd just like to say that it's a real breath of fresh air to have Mark responding and getting involved with this sort of issue. I appreciate that Michael (Linus27) hasn't got his strings yet, so nothing is "fixed", but I can't help but feel that this one is now more likely to have a happy ending. Just saying ... credit where it's due.[/quote] I hope so. The latest from GAK is estimated despatch being Wed 16th which I guess means I get them around Thu or Fri. Thats 4 to 5 days rather than the next day delivery they promised. I guess if no despatch by Wednesday then I will cancel.

I'm not sure how I missed the delivery because I'm dying to have a go on one, but from the looks of our stock system, they arrived last week. I'll let you know for certain tomorrow when I've actually got my hands on one.[/quote] Cool, look forward to hearing your report. But they've been "in stock" at GAK since August, so you could've tried it several months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the fattest sounding, most versatile and easiest to use synth pedal I have ever tried. I've not had chance to try the USB features yet but I would assume that it open up even more sonic experimentation. If you are interested in taking one, I suspect that I will only have these two now before Xmas, so drop me a PM and I might even be able to knock you a few quid off the web price.

But first priority is a double bass at the moment, I've already got synth pedals. Although I would like to give this one a proper go. But that is a good price... Oh dear, here we go.

As always, it's hard to tell on t'net. No-one has been in touch with me directly about problems they are having with the website. If they had, I would have sorted it by now. As for pushing product, it was perhaps a little off-topic, but people have been querying the availability for months and this topic has brought to light the fact that a much anticipated item has now arrived. As always, if you have queries/problems/comments/suggestions regarding the shop, mail order or the internet, drop me a PM. Getting in touch with me directly will usually sort out any problems straight away. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Just to say that Mark has been in touch with me and has sorted out my problem with the strings. Big thanks to Mark for stepping in and fixing the problem. Really appreciate the help. So with that all sorted, we can now get back to talking about Season 3 of Chuck or any teen Vampire killer zombie teenage film that takes peoples fancy Edited December 8, 2009 by Linus27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_random Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 skankdelvar - Thanks very much! Linus27 - Glad I could help with the strings. Now on to the REALLY IMPORTANT stuff. Twin Peaks is far and away the best television series ever made and anyone who disagrees with me is just plain wrong. I may, or may not, be kidding. The best way to appreciate it is get yourself a region free DVD player and the Gold Box set. Details here: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/TWIN-PEAKS-Definitive-Gold-Box/dp/B000ZBU4Y6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1260290999&sr=8-4"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/TWIN-PEAKS-Definit...0999&sr=8-4[/url] Either that or wait for the Blu Ray version to come out next year...

M[/quote] I saw that Gold Edition box set but the price is a bit scary. £70 is a bit steep. Season 1 can be had for about £17 but season two is about £60. Crazy prices. I don't have a Blu-Ray player yet but I am tempted as I would love Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray. Twin Peaks would be great if available on Blu-Ray also. Is it definately coming out of Blu-Ray? Oh, and I had such a crazy crush on Madchen Amick.

A really good print of all of the episodes, two versions of the pilot and loads of exclusive extras including an hour and a half's worth of documentary. Probably my best ever DVD purchase. Having said that, the Blu Ray looks as though it is all go for next year. I'm a bit of a fan boy so I'll probably get that as well! Also, I can confirm that Madchen Amick is still pretty foxy.
