[quote name='4000' timestamp='1330952541' post='1565171'] Oh, and FWIW he's a thoroughly nice guy; he used to be one of the sales guys in A1 music when I used to go there. Perfectly humble too. [/quote] I chatted to Nigel a few weeks ago at the Brum Guitar Show and he was friendly and chatty - told me the story about how he sold his Overwater bass and bought it back years later.

Seems far too cheap. I hate to ask this - but are you sure it's not stolen etc ?

Just go to the My Settings page (click on your username at top right of page) then click on Manage Attachments, you can review and remove your attachments/pics there .

Had my ABM300 for 5 years now and still happy with it. Only thing its needed was a cheap repair to the valve circuit. Fantastic rock amp and im sure with the right cab it could do anything.

[quote name='thack' timestamp='1330693961' post='1561708'] So new users come and go, but at least people are coming and going and surely that's the sign of a healthy forum. I'd hate for this to become a clique instead of a community. [/quote] This is another key point. If it's just the same people buying/selling as regular it'll be the same gear circulating around all the time (this happened a lot when it was <1000 members).

I've played the T-Bird 4 pictured above at Brum Guitar show last week. Wish I heard it in a quieter setting but felt great.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1330509865' post='1558423'] No moderator comment? [/quote] My opinion on this matter is that if a minimum post count were required, someone may not bother sticking around to put their item up for sale and never visit the forum again. This for me is a negative aspect as it will mean no-one will get the opportunity to buy it whether they're regular or not. I'd rather everyone got a chance for a bargain and 1 in 25 people hang around to contribute in the long term than we forced people to post before selling.

Must be - as this is a thread about giving people a lift.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1330448004' post='1557670'] You can only see the eBay forum if you are logged in. Did you have to log in to make your post? [/quote] This.

Take a look at [url="http://www.musicground.com/"]http://www.musicground.com/[/url]. The subtitle between the 2 Strats is 'The Supreme Courts of Rock & Roll'. Bet they didn't expect that to be so literal .

As long as youre keeping the MFD pickups then its not too much heresy !

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1330092047' post='1552593'] When I read the thread title, the little voice in my head sounded like Manuel from Fawlty Towers. [/quote] "Where have a the bongos gone ?!"

I'll be hanging around the [s]toilets[/s] Bass Direct stand in my BC polo, say hello if you're there !

This weekend for anyone interested

Not me either. But thanks for reminding me I have one...

I'll be sporting mine next Saturday at the [url="http://www.ukguitarshows.co.uk/"]Great British Guitar Show[/url] .

I generally stick with the original unless it's beyond me and then I will simply it, sometimes I might add a few 5ths/octaves in to spice it up if it's simple but certainly nothing extravagant !

Recently i've been getting massively into blues - specifically Steve Ray Vaughan, BB King, Joe Bonamassa and George Thorogood. A lot of it is predictable to listen to - but I just love it.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329484023' post='1543137'] Agreed, will check out on the day, and if limits are in place, park in the Kings Mall car-park in Hammersmith - £9 a day. Still better than endless tubing. [/quote] There's a great cafe/deli on the way there (about half way to the venue on right hand side). Get there early and get some brekkie ! I'm still trying to find a way to get there without driving myself on my tod !

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1329386684' post='1541514'] Is that car park OK inside or is it really narrow and difficult with a wide and long car? [/quote] It was niceguyhomers Mondeo so not a small car but can't be sure for your frog barge. Watch out when you open the boot though - low ceilings.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329314386' post='1540468'] Anyone got any tips on good parking near the event? I usually park at Edgware, then get the tube in, but any helpful tips would be most appreciated. The parking at the venue is about £25. [/quote] Last year we parked at a multistorey in Hammersmith £9 for the day - a 20 min walk to the show (see here [url="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hammersmith&hl=en&ll=51.494464,-0.229533&spn=0.007855,0.013797&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=15.299029,28.256836&hnear=Hammersmith&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=51.494434,-0.229193&panoid=lkcgMuA69brKzVlkKXF1rA&cbp=12,177.76,,0,-0.28"]http://maps.google.c...177.76,,0,-0.28[/url]) I'm also after a lift for this year if anyone is passing Birmingham on the M6 ! Fuel/parking will be contributed to .

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1329233046' post='1539224'] You can admire from afar, young fella me lad...... awesome as it is [/quote] Been doing that for about 6 weeks with binoculars by the lime tree outside your house. I want the real thing.

Can I touch your beard too ?

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1329199752' post='1538583'] I know i'm only in Birmingham, If anyone's driving through, can I scam a lift? Happy to share fuel costs etc. Means I can bring more stuff!!! [/quote] Despite my non-weirdo playing style - I may frequent this bash. If so you've got a lift . I will however bring some non cack-handed instruments so I don't feel totally freaked out.
