Jamie sold his bass?

Ok, so recently I saw Jamie was selling his bass on ebay and said it was because he needed to fund a guitar? I haven't seen any follow up on this and I'm pretty confused as to what's going down.
He's either leaving, or...THREE GUITARS?
Either that, or I've grossly misread the entire situation somehow..

As a side note, can't wait for the new album!

Hey man, yeah Jamie has decided to leave I'm afraid but it's all on good terms and we're doing well. The new album is just being mixed and we're very excited to get it out! : )

That's a shame, I enjoyed his stage banter the two times I've seen you guys live.
Are you looking for a replacement now? Must be a little awkward having just written an album's worth of new material to have to teach a new member how to play all of it!
