I mail-ordered my first pedal, a TC Polytune, from a shop which is about an hour from me ... a 30 minute train ride give or take and a 15 minute walk plus waiting around time.

The pedal took a full 7 days to arrive. Once upon a time it would have been there next day or the day after, max. It appears this is a deliberate policy to discourage people using AusPost and to get them using couriers instead.

I learned my lesson. When I bought my first Epi Bird case, I took the train up and collected it myself.

Well you do know who oversaw the "service reform" at Austpost. Where we pay more for a poorer service but pay not quite so much more for a even poorer service.
 
Fancy-pants!

So I googled that, and got... this:

He's not even WEARING pants!

Was told to come back to the post office after 3:30...just did, Bass ain’t here!!! They close in 35 minutes. Guess I’m waiting

Speaking of guilt and shame, I stopped off at Sam Ash to grab a strap and locks for the Cataldo and got this as well...

Now climb off my a$$, people!

Also, saw they had a few new Epi ‘Birds on the wall, but no VP’s. Asked the sales guy and he’d never even heard of em
 
I'm ready to remove this gigantic bridge from my '18 Gibson. Thought I'd let you guys/gals know. Not sure what I'd want for it but I DO know I need a excellent condition black 3 pt for the Gibson. A couple other things I'm needing; a black hipshot A style (maybe B), Schaller roller bridge and DiMarzio model PJ pickups. This is definitely an awesome (and rediculous expensive) bridge but I just don't like how it looks. So, any interest let me know before I just sell it for alot of $

I just ordered a new bridge and tuners to chrome out one of my Gibson’s, so I’ll have a black 3 point I’ll let go of cheap :)
