Might need to donate/sell an organ on a stop over in SE Asia on the way over instead if the missus doesn't perform that operation on you already without using any anaesthetic haha.

I could buy a new MIA Fender every year for what my racing costs so I'm not going to argue.Quote:

Racing is like playing music live or surfing, if you haven't done it you won't ever understand
Sounds like boats, just a black hole that keeps sucking in lots of your hard earned cash. Thankfully we don't crash guitars too often and their repair bills are not as expensive either.
You can jump on a ferry and know what being on the water feels like, but a crowd of 10000 and massive sound or going into a corner at 200kph is an entirely different thing, never stood on a surfboard or owned a boat thoughQuote:

Sounds great Dave. We all need an interest in something that still brings excitement and an adrenaline rush otherwise life can be rather dull.
Same here, 1 meeting, 2nd in the first timers race, 3 fourth places and then removed the head and installed the pumpkin going for a second place on the last lap, and went out in an Ambulance....
But I achieved my goal lap time the previous lap...
Thomann are well known for having a great returns policy - at least within the EU where the shipping is fairly local. If there are any issues with a product, they will very quickly send you a printable pre-paid return label. At one point a few years ago when the £ was strong against the €, Thomann was generally the cheapest place to buy musical equipment from, and shipping was always well organised and only took a couple of days so there was no real benefit in buying from the UK (apart from supporting your local retailer). Nowadays the £ is much weaker against the Euro, so it's now only occasionally cheaper.
I found this post a week or so ago and haven’t been able to stop thinking about that guitar! I just ordered one :)Quote:
