Gold Cup week is keeping me away from my curry at the Everest (postponed until the hullabaloo has died down).

'Cos I spend what seems like half my life scuttling up & down the M5. Although not normally as far north as Cheltenham. But, that Tuesday night buffet at the Everest is exerting a powerful draw right now.
In a couple of months, when the weather is warmer and I'm enjoying a lunchtime beer overlooking the beach in Teignmouth, I'll recall your sympathetic words.
Aaaaaanyhow, I was just flipping through an educational musical instrument suppliers catalogue (I can slyly order things through work sometimes at quite a discount) and can report that they are selling them at far less than I can buy them here, even before applying VAT. I'm half tempted myself...
I've been looking at getting a bass recently, but I think I'm more inclined to lay in wait for a second hand Classic Vibe Precision, which is resplendent in Sonic Blue:
The colour being the one thing Guitarist (because they don't understand pastel shades. GRR Sunburst, GRUNT BLACK!) moaned about when reviewing it.
But if I buy a bass that means I can't buy the Blackstar HT-5 I was so impressed by. I should buy neither to be frank.
This shop is the one that had the goatse Jaguar Mike enquired about and refused to budge on the price. I think it's off their site now but I bet they didn't sell it at the price it said on the ticket.
