Sean Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Have a look on ebay for an Ibanez or Yamaha - great basses and you should find something very serviceable for £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I guess it must be you, seeing as how you've been promoted an' all. I reckon it puts you in charge of the Bassplayers popular front of Lincolnshire (in a John Cleese kinda way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Mup. We'll have to have a meeting 'round a fire at midnight on a full mooon, running around naked, chant a few olde cantations, slay a few virgins and then debate wether or not you're worthy of Lincolnshire status..... We'll let you know....... Ps if you know any ACTUAL virgins then you'd better send them along as it may take some time to get the meeting of the ground!

The Burpster Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well then, as I'm an import... (living here 7 yrs working here 3 years) I guess you are probably more versed in 'yellowbelly' ways than I am...

Mr Cougar Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hey Muppet do you still start every sentence with either "tell ya' what" or "now then"? If you do you are a definitely still a Lincs man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
