This is about deliveries going the other way.

Oh, thanks. I really don't do politics and religion.

I haven't really used them since the one shop in Southampton shut when they went tits up. I think that one store they have left in Romford is really just a show pony for a largely online European operation.

LOL I'm from and still live in Southampton and I didn't even know there was a store here.

Yeah was in St Marys until about 5 years ago. The Guitar Store’s pretty much the only game in town for electrics now. Even they shrank from 3 to 2 units

Pompey’s much better served, just a drag to get to if you don’t drive

Ah right I know where you are now. Near the train station off Commercial road.
I remember M&M in St Mary's Street. When I was in my old olrock band in the late 80s I used to get all my bass and guitar gear from the guys there.

Hi guys! Happy New Year!

I'm considering buying Sonarworks Reference 4 Headphones edition, do you know if they do sales or if there's any coupon for retailes like JRR Shop?

[frackermak]

I bought my first guitar in Pompey.
Hohner Strat copy.
Elm Grove possibly?
That grant cheque didn't last long...
37 years ago(ish)

Yes, they do occasional sales. They did 20% off in April 2020 and 40% in November.

Great, so I own TSM2 but because I got it earlier this year I don't get it. My mistake was thinking the TSM2 was like Komplete with nearly all products from the company but boi was I wrong. I had expected a decent upgrade price but the upgrades are ridiculous.

They released TSM2 a couple of years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised TSM3 is around the corner after a long sale like this.

I upgraded from TS Max to v2 about 2.5 years ago. Still waiting on a v3 and seen them virtually give v2 away at way lower than I paid for TS Max originally let alone the $200 or so to upgrade. I think Rob Papen's Explorer is the best deal for users that buy it, upgrade from any explorer version for $99 and when you do get the latest version he keeps adding products during that version's lifetime. Compare that to being stiffed by IK.

ISTR them from the days of being 'Music Village' when I was still in school and drooling over those racks of keyboards and Jem guitars they had

A decent deal for Max 2. But quite frankly, after being a IKM customer for a few years now -- I am looking to limit my exposure to any further product ecosystems by them. It has been a bit of a rough ride.
