    Please post your most trivial first world problem here

    The best way to ensure a snow free winter is to buy an expensive snowblower. Guaranteed warm fronts. Or ice storms. Or floods. But no snow!!!!

    Your Takeaways from TB

    What is the general policy on asking to return a bass purchase?

    Last 3 basses sight unseen. One new, the other 2 used, one from reverb, one from tb. 0 problems. There are plenty of con artists and jerks out there, but I try to believe there are plenty of honest sellers too. To me, return is OK to ask for when there are undisclosed material issues like...
