Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

It’s no longer in the mail, setting up with new strings and a fret polish now….

Clearly once sported an ashtray but no longer wanted, the owner filled the holes with seagull shit and scraped it down with a bastard file. Oh well, it all adds to the patina.

Slap a Floyd on it, you won't notice the rash then!

Giving Sweetwater a crack for the looper, placed the order last night and woke up to an email saying its shipped, wow!

Ok, Sweetwater is my new best friend, ordered Monday evening, arrived this morning, how is that even possible?!!?!?

[Jops]

Yeah I use sweetwater a bit. Their sales and bstock/demo gear are good value. And that shipping time is chefs kiss.

Bit of a punt.

Private sale. FB market place. Seller is in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Here’s hoping it turns up.

If it doesn’t, hope he has a great Christmas.

had been hanging out for some bass nut files, nothing came up so hit the stewmac black friday sale - a set of 5 on its way, still charged like a wounded bull but once in a lifetime purchase ( and way better than winging it with whatever I have to hand )

So you don't use a Stanley knife anymore?

Not since I lost the second finger

DJW amp arrived, would have no hesitation putting my fingers or other bits near it ( well they may get heated ) without elecrified 300 volts up my jacksie.

I've not plugged it in yet. I'm planning on a housing anyway though

Boss RE-2 Space Echo, $200 cheaper (shipped) on Amazon at the moment, Rockshop needs to up its game.

Nice! The Space Echo stuff is fantastic, give me a yell if you feel like adding a RE-20 to your ever expanding collection

Agree with you about the RS. Wasn’t that long ago you were able to walk in, spend a decent amount and ask for a discount and get at least something taken off. Last thing I bought from there was over $1k and they wouldn’t even give me a set of strings to replace the deader-than-dead ones that were on it

Yeah, it’s a bit of a joke in our local rs, I won’t even go in there anymore.

I was in there not long after lockdown and a couple of the guitars I wanted to play had very rusty strings. A PRS and a Gibson lp, I asked if they’d put new ones on so I could at least play them properly and they said no. I walked out…

[NZTone.e]

Not to mention my personal customer card in there has over $20k worth of purchases on it…

Its not just Rockshop. You can get stuff way cheaper from Thomann, delivered to your door, from Germany*, for literally hundreds of dollars less than it would cost you to go into a local music store and buy the same thing.

We get shafted in this country.

*Or at least you could if they were allowed to send the brand you were after to NZ.

Its a shame but online shopping is going to kill local stores - not just music shops. Want a set of strings today - have to wait for shipping.
