All in all great suggestions.

Scarebear rebranded – Scarebear — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 10:54:34 +0000

[…] Back in 2010, I created the first real logo for my Scarebear persona. Up until then, I’d applied various designs to the original Scarebear domain, but no true branding. I’d also never really thought through all the different categories or interests of the Scarebear brand. That was mostly because I hadn’t been approaching the Scarebear identity as a brand. Recently, I revisited that and came up with the concept you see here. […]

[…] The concept for the 26 playlists is quite simple. Bands and artists have names. These names start with a letter from the alphabet. The alphabet has 26 letters and there are 26 fortnights in the year. Therefore, I can write a blog post every two weeks focusing on bands that start with a particular letter. I’ve already started with the letter A. […]

I have several boutique expensive low Watt heads. This Amp has top shelf sound. Put NOS tubes in and it’s a BEAST. DEEP and BALLSY. Not extremely loud, though. Sometimes you get LOUD for the $. But it’s LOUD enough for me. I’d rather have top notch quality sound than just LOUD.

In reply to Bryan Cook. I don't believe that should affect me as these are not expensive guitars. At least that's how it's worked when I have purchased from overseas before. If it's over $1K then there are taxes. Combined my purchases were under $1K.

Bryan Cook — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 11:18:53 +0000

Just a word of caution…… I bought a guitar in Florida a few years back, I got it at a fantastic price and they threw in all kinds of extras too. I was a happy, happy man until I got back to England and the Customs guys hit me with Import Tax!!! It made the guitar more expensive than if I’d bought it in England…… 🙁 I don’t know if there is a way around it, but if there is, it’s probably illegal……. 😉
