neepheid Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Americans are all about FREEDOM though, so just mention that the import duties are gonna kill you and they'll probably put a fake 'official' price on it.That's all well and good, but if something happens in transit, you'll only get insurance on the declared value. Also, it's fraud and HMRC aren't as stupid as you think they are. Little stuff you might get away with, but there's no way a guitar is going to sneak under their noses.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Where's the best deals for guitar and amp parts?Looking to replace the Gibson stock on my SG for Gotoh or Grover. Both bridge parts and tuners, and two Celestion Greenback 12" speakers. Had a good browse around but hoping to find anywhere else to look before i make a purchase in case i miss out on a good deal.I've found eBay to be pretty good for various parts. Do yr research on exactly what you want, then get hunting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should just be a case of changing like for like, so I doubt there would be any complications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just researching before I pick up new hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Plans for pedestrian zones in Aberdeen city centre : Evening ExpressABERDEEN’S Union Street could be pedestrianised under bold new regeneration plans, the Evening Express can reveal today.Wasn't this already happening? I swear this was put through a few years ago and approved, and I thought the point of them widening Market Street was to prepare for the increase in traffic from Union Street being pedestrianised. Did I just imagine that whole thing? Help me Cool Thinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I just imagine that whole thing? Help me Cool Thinker.They planned it all then it got quietly dropped after an election I think. Probably because the council had run out of money and was cutting public services left right and centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonie Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I've never been into the palce that used to be Jumpin' Jacks/Oscars but it always looked from the outside like it'd be a pretty awesome building. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it?It was pretty swish when it was Oscars, which was upstairs. I was only ever in the downstairs of Jumpin' Jaks which was a pretty generic looking nightclub and you couldn't really see the features for all the chavs. One of the worst places I ever went out in Aberdeen. On the few occasions I was in there were fights going on in every direction, people getting dragged out by the face, people starting on the bouncers, shouting abuse at the bar staff etc. Not just a handful of isolated incidents either, it was every person, everywhere. Chaos. There seemed to be an ambulance and / or police van permanently parked out front on a Friday and Saturday. Ghastly place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
