Mmmmm, a 15 hour flight from Germany.
You’ll need an ambulance waiting for me after a flight like that. :laugh:

You at least offer a free string if they return the broken one. Happy customer and you determine the problem. If counterfeit, you address that.

The counterfeit option is really a problem. A lot of ebay name brand items are fakes (especially when an unknown, weird name and or with not a very long selling history). Dewalt batteries, etc, etc... And these things are almost always not detectable as fake unless you open them up--the product not just the packaging. Spark plugs are often counterfeited as well, you name it and a variously connected gov company in Ch is faking it and sending the junk here. Sometimes the packaging can be an indicator, but only if you know every detail of what the legit should look like. Known sellers almost always tend to know who they are getting things from. Heck, I bought a White Castle and am pretty sure it was a Krystal burger.

Ambulance nothing. For me, I think I would either be placed in a straightjacket during or need a straightjacket after a 15 hr flight. I can't even stay in a comfortable room that long unless pretty sick.

A local bought the wrong black pickguard from Eb*y for his Eppi Thunderbird, and I bought it for $30 (sorry Irv). I'm not sure which of my VPs to put it on.

I thought about putting it on the white VP, my wife prefers it on the black VP. What do ya'll think?

No need to apologize to me :D
A black pickguard on a black VP looks great!

Need an ignorance pothole filled. I may be the only one who doesn't know the answer to this somewhat odd question. With two heads I was thinking of having both connected to the same cab and just turning on whichever head I wanted to use, leaving the connections from both heads to the speaker cab in place. One would be speakon to speakon and the other just 1/4in to 1/4in.
1. Is there a problem to either head or cab doing this?

2. If not, could both heads be on at the same time if I wanted? Not sure I would, but while I'm thinking about it.

Don't do it. Stuff will break. Smoke may come out!

Wussies. Try 30 hours door to door with a 16 hour flight followed by a 4 hour flight. Just enough time for a couple really nice naps. Those gummy bears really help :cool:

Any flight longer than 3 hours warrants a first class ticket for me. Flying first class from Cincinnati to Beijing or Singapore on a regular basis when working made all the difference in the world, easy peasy.

All depends on what class of service you’re flying.
Anything over 6 hours and I’m bumping up to business or first.

No body I like/love enough to do that. :woot: But they can come see me anytime. I'd have to be medicated to some kind of happy place. There would be no other way.
