@TWW
If I remember correctly, it's the Ancient Gunn. No connection whatsoever with my family - I just liked it.
It does actually fit properly, as it was made to measure only a couple of months before that photo was taken. It's just that I have a high waist and disproportionately long legs!

Found on Craigslist:
re: What is Love?
Love is a pernicious illusion, foisted upon us by Percy Shelley and his ilk and perpetuated by Hallmark for the sake of selling cards with blitheringly idiotic banalities written on them.
It is nothing more than an excuse to open yourself up to grievous injury and betrayal. And the passion and adrenaline rush from contact with this other person will fade in time, subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns like everything else, until one day you realize just how much happier you are when you're alone.
It's also the one thing in the world we all crave more than anything else.
Sucks, doesn't it?

I disagree entirely with those sentiments.
Love is caring about someone else more than yourself - putting their needs before your own out of choice.
Notice I didn't go with my original idea that love is a baby's smile - even I thought I might vomit.

Love is
-being willing to kiss someone's scotch breath.
-warm lips on sensitive places.
-a pair of eyes that take your breath away.
Or, if you're not in a romance mood:
-a big plate of cheddar and bacon fries and a cold beer.

That's brilliant
If I ever see any of it, I will buy you it.
I like Scottish winters. The winter of my first year at uni was lovely and cold and dry, and did actually snow at one point. It was loverly. However, since then it has rained a lot the next two years, and I fear this year shall go the same way, at least if summer is anything to go by.
In other news, my bass amp would appear to be dying rather quickly.

I used to like cold weather
but not now. Summer's much better. I was getting used to 30°C days on holiday.
I do prefer cold frosty weather to wind and rain in winter though.
In 2006 it was mid December until I had to scrape ice from my car windscreen in the morning. At least we had some frost in October last year.
Global warming's crap. We're just going to have one big long season in Scotland soon. It'll be permanently 12°C and raining.

The volume knob is playing up
And it doesn't give out sound sometimes. I'm presuming it's a connection problem, but haven't got round to opening it up and having a look at it yet. I will though.

Kaol's right
Almost certainly a dirty or damaged volume pot. I fixed a Roland amp with half a dozen collapsed pots. It had suffered some damage and the pots were only held on by their shafts - the PCB was not otherwise supported.
Or possibly a poor contact on the normalling contact on your effects return jack, if it has such a thing. That was always a favourite failure point on Carlsbro combos.
Anyway, on that technical note, I think I'll be off to bed.

No point waiting to be older.
