So the past couple days have been hectic. One of my 3 best (and only real) friends is off on a tour of Eastern Europe in a van for a few months (will probably be a long time before I see him again), so we've had to say goodbye and whatever which was a bit savage.
But before he left today, one of the lads travelling with him gave me a deal and a half:

For £20!!!
I don't know much about the amp, though. After looking it up a bit, the only place I can [easily] find it on the internet, it goes for an equivalent of over £600 which must be wrong!!!
The amp is a Hohner Force Series CD200B - anyone know anything about that?
Apart from that, the bass is nice - though it needs a bit of fixing up before I can give it a more informed opinion. It's practically mint condition, though. A few very minor surface scratches (like buckle-rash) but no dings, chips, cracks, or anything. The frets are in good condition, as is the hardware (the bridge is hardly dusty at all!)
For £20!!!
. . . . . ! ! !
So, that brings my 'wood'n'string' count to 11. (I gave Alec, my friend going off to Europe, an old classical guitar that I took the frets off of and lacquered and what-not, so it would have been 12, but I'm not complainin'!)
As far as guitars are concerned, this has been a good week for me. Jackson RX10D, Cort '???', and another dude has, after literally years of 'jokingly' hassling him, finally agreed to sell me his B.C. Rich Ironbird. I know B.C. Rich's are [very] under-appreciated in this forum, but I've been wanting this guitar since I started playing, so it's got to be done.
If only I could live inside guitars and eat other guitars that are inferior to the ones I live inside, I'd never need to buy a house or food ever again, I could just spend all my money on guitars and would be very very happy. . .
And have a lot of guitars.
If only. . .
