OMG, another bass forum?!? What are you guys thinking?  I've been trying to limit myself and in the last 4 months I've been going to like 4 forums and I'm worn out!!!  Here's my goal, one bass forum and my refinishing/restoration forum.  Can we make this the one only bass forum for me?  I'm willing to give it a try!

If you need a moderator for a subforum, let me know too.  I've got some experience...... ::)

I'm currently getting ready for a business trip to England which will last a week so you won't be hearing that much from me, but I'll slip in when I can!

 Are you being dropped at the shore by a U-Boat, or by parachute from an He. 111?

I've said this again and again: There is no relying on the Dutch except for their long and unforgiving memory regarding some ugly bikes with just a little chrome in a situation of wartime raw material constraints ...

Hi!  I made it.  Don't really have anything to say, but I wanted to post something so the mods knew my account wasn't a spam one (lately one forum I moderate on has been INUNDATED with spam posts.  Unfortunately I can't get a hold of the admin so I can't ban the jerkoffs doing it, just delete their posts when they show up).

Thanks for settings this mother up.

Tell you what Mark - you get him to the alter and show some photographic proof of the wedding, please, not the honeymoon! - and I'll have the thing chrome plated and engraved with both your names and interlocking Thunderbirds! :o


Maybe we can get Uwe to start an internet church and get himself ordained - he could perform the service ::)

 He's being such a bi**h, adding me to his myspace and such.....you know, stringing me along, then not a word from him when it comes time for me to fly to Europe and not have an international incident 'cause of my chrome bullit belt, which is an essential part of my wedding ensemble.
What's a girl to do?!  :D

"Errrm, you'll be wearing just the belt you mean?"

  You wish!...........Really, its far too cold in Holland for that kind of thing. 
We could wait for spring so I could wear this.............tho it's tough keeping one's girlish figure over the winter.

 That thing?

 I actually don't own it anymore, not peizio. It had a large Humbucker mounted too close to the bridge, the microswitch switched between front and back coils. For my taste it just didn't have enough low end, never could make it have the sub to shake the floor........So its gone now. More than likely it was stock Gibson.
