Eternal do some nice stuff. I have a hollowbody Tele of theirs that I got secondhand, it's a very early one so has some flaws but the weight and neck feel/finish are fab. So, equally, nah.

@D_Mars the Wanderer is 700c... DY's 26" tourer is the Wayfarer (I have one)...
Lovely frame!

Those are basically my delay needs too. The MP looks good.
Another option was the old BBE Two Timer but that was only a four-knobber without separate levels/repeats and thus probably a bit of a pain.

Spam alert. On Thursday 13th October, a band I'm in, the Messengers Of God, is playing alongside the simply splendid all-female harmony acoustic five-piece Ukadelix at the Walthamstow Trades Hall. Tickets are a fiver and the beer is VERY CHEAP. Come along!

I blame @edmundro and his posts above for reigniting a minor obsession with old Karrimor backpacks. Always really liked the build quality and the simple designs, the Hots in particular.
It started with a late-80s 40L Hot Earth in all-black with orange bits which was a fabulous pack. No idea what happened to that but I have a Bobcat 65 grabbed for cheap in the company sell-off in the early 2000s which is a decent load lugger. Then there's a useful purple/green 30L Wild Crag from 1993 which has been my hiking daysack for yonks.
Rather regret chopping the waist strap off it though so last week I decided to hit eBay and lucked onto a 1990 Hot Ice exactly like Ed's partner's. It's got the rubber base and the waist strap with the KQR belt buckle... such a great design. The KS100t fabric is almost as good as new but the green sides are lesser stuff and some of the waterproofing is a touch iffy inside... generally use a liner anyway, so it's no biggie. Overall very pleased.
Wild Crag left, Hot Ice right

Hard to beat the Fender Rumble 100 for that dosh IMO, have heard quite a few of late doing quite nicely unsupported in pubs, silly lightweight as well

Development all around it but the Nest hangs on and music still thrives, we played there last week.

Looks right Stratty, that. Nice work.

Has there been a previous Brompton finisher?

Does anyone in SE London have a pipe cutter available for a spot of bar trimmage?
Edit: oh they're cheaper than I thought. Bought one.
-
Hm. Ok. Think I'll just throw it in. Ta tester & snotter.
-
No no you'll be fine.

Anyone have experience with the newer cheapie Shimano BB, the un300?
I just ordered one from CRC and you can feel it click faintly all the way around as you manipulate the spindle... like a mild version of the volume knob on a 70s hifi.
Should I return it, or are they all like that...?

Did you know that particular seller routs and bevels guards at really quite a nice price if you send him the old one as a template? You can easily ask him to leave out a couple of pickup holes. In my limited experience, trying for a properly neat job at home with fretsaw, files and sandpaper is low on fun.

Scoop gone...
Are my prices gaily optimistic? always happy to haggle

I have a feeling Knopfler copped Nils' lick at 1.43 but I can't name the song...

Poly finish repairs can be a bit of a 'mare I have heard... any chance of a pic of the damage?
You'll know all about devaluation from resprays already I'm sure and Squier JV's are no exception... values are up and the hit from a refin would likely be 2x or even 3x the price of the new paint job. It might sound a bit nutty but you could consider rebodying the guitar... a nice lightweight repro body in a cool nitro finish might cost less than a refin and drop in value combined, plus you could get most of your money back out of it at any time. Just a thought, mind.

Waaaay late on this one but I really, really like that SBGX063.
Quite agree on the superior balance of the OG logo placement too.
