Re: y splitter leads in UK

2004-04-19 by William Sutherland

thanks Ed,

I did look on Thomann's but missed that - I'll see what happens when 
they come.

We live in a strange dual mm/inches world in the UK - it's just over 
25mm to the inch so I guess the plugs will be 1/4" (it's just that 
we're not supposed to use inches anymore... sheesh).

20 years ago I had an invite from a US band touring here to go back 
with them - guess I should have taken them up on it... if only to 
get these darn leads!

:-)
William
