Ah, that was less than clear from your prior posts. I think we're more on the same page than you think. Context is everything: I was making the point that, in contrast to the USA, I know of no right-wing parties have abolishing the NHS in their manifesto and, as I said previously, if you know...

Not sure I'm into the whole carbon fibre concept, but no doubt it's a cool axe and carbon has some real practical advantages. I'm happy for you. Hmm, three humbuckers....awesome!

Thank you. Nailed it.

Like I said, I don't disagree that the NHS has seen better days. And I'm genuinely sorry you've had the experience you've had. But knowing as many people as I do do across the NHS, from frontline workers to senior execs, I can tell you that your conclusion is way off base. Part of the reason so...

Well that's all in your head, not mine. Enjoy.

Was discussing this thread with my son and fell headlong into his cunning trap: looks like I'm gonna have to refinish his RG7421 in Lamborghini Arancio Atlas...🤣😂

That's pretty thin.

What's your problem? Did I hit a nerve or something? Look at it from a complete stranger's point of view (i.e. mine). It looks too good to be true. And if you were a complete stranger who had witnessed such theft and flipping in the past, you'd probably want to ensure that buyer had their eyes...

Exactly. Never look a gift horse in the mouth

Hey, all good then. You know her better than I...

Demolished is a tad dramatic, but I don't disagree: the NHS was suffering before covid and afterwards was subjected to further austerity. But I still got extensively tested and cleared of having cancer within three months of symptoms, and entirely for free. And had I'd got bad news, I'd be on...

Don't wanna rain on your parade, but are you sure she didn't boost it from a now-ex-boyfriend? That happened to my son, albeit with much lesser stuff (a few DS games). After all, if she bought it herself, she'd know its value. It might also explain tbe condition of the bass. Just sayin...

By the US definition, most countries in Europe are "socialist". And even the UK's most right-wing parties wouldn't abolish free healthcare (I suspect that goes for other far-right European parties, but happy to be corrected).

Some people in the UK would consider Biden and Harris/Walz as right of centre, compared to UK politics and Trump somewhere right of The Joker, but I couldn't possibly comment..

Correlation does prove causation, but it is interesting.

So glad it wasn't a cartoon about meat balls...

I smiled when I read your post, as it reminded me of the lost knowledge of the ancients (ancient being the 70s). I remember my surprise when I first tried an Ibanez Blazer bass back in 1981, having played other basses up until then, and wondering "why does this bass sound like the bass of god?"...

Thank you kindly for the comprehensive response. When I alluded to "healthy interest" on SSO, it was your thread that I had in mind. 🙂 Naturally, I bow to the experience of those who've studied NST longer than I, but that said, while I was impressed with the analysis, I was also struck by the...

I hope that Brazilian Rosewood was reclaimed.

I fit SSL-1s as standard to my strat builds, so I can't fault your choices here. 🙂 I've experimented with a few other makes, usually boutique handwounds, but just keep coming back to them, as they reliably give that classic strat sound that I love, with real depth. If I want it hotter, I...
