FedEx and USPS did it again. It's not bass gear, but I had an order leave Reno, NV, 5 days ago, pass through Portland, OR, head on a tour of southern WA, and finally get handed over to USPS in Kelso, WA... so it could be sent back to Portland, so the USPS could generate 3 delivery exceptions (because once again the address has "APT" instead of "Unit" or "Space") and cheerfully announce the return of the package on the FIRST of the three exceptions. Meaning that they returned the package to the sender in Reno yesterday and then tried twice more to deliver it in Portland - once after returning it yesterday, once today. Anyone else confused yet, because I am sure getting there.

All this for a lousy t-shirt?

Sounds like you need to pull off the Randy Bobandy look.

Kinda premium priced sucky choices. The Mesa 88 is about the only one on the list I'd even give a second glance to, and it's priced absurdly. I'd imagine your used market down there is pretty tight as well. The land of Oz might not be the place to hunt for gear. Maybe you should click your heels three times, Kansas probably has a better selection and better prices. Of course shipping will be a bitch, its gonna be tough for him indoors to strap an SVT under his trucker jacket and still get past security.

My Gibson at $AU1300 delivered made sense to me. About $300 cheaper than the best price others I’ve seen. Figured a VP could be $1200 list if they ever arrive.
