I'm not kidding.[/quote] In my old area, whacking someone round the noggin would be a quick ticket to a knife in the ribs. A pregnant woman was stabbed in the neck at the bottom of my old street. Charming place.
steve-soar Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 We had our living room window put through a couple of months ago, bad in itself but my wife had been sitting in the spot where the brick embedded in the wall only 2 mins before it happened, she also would have been showered in glass as the window exploded. This happened at 12.30 am, Sunday morning, we phoned the police and they said that because it wasn't a serious crime, they wouldn't come out, after I lost my rag, they sent someone, who turned up a 4.00 pm, Sunday afterenoon. That was kids, being "kids", the officer told us. Anyway, good luck with the sales and I hope you have found somewhere safer for you and you girlfriend.

I had to phone 3 times to get someone to attend our house, they wouldn't take me seriously! Changed their tune when they found a couple of hundred grands worth of gange growing next door, of course...
tayste_2000 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Ever seen the film Outlaw with Sean Bean, Danny Dyer and Bob Hoskins. I suggest you do
Wil Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 I'm withdrawing the Status necked P and all its bits for the moment, I haven't had much interest in it, and I whacked the Dimarzio P pickup from the Mockingbird in it last night and nearly soiled myself, so I'll be keeping it as my main thunder stick for the forseeable. The Mockingbird is in bits and missing its P pup, so if anyone wants the body for a project ping me a PM.
Mr. Foxen Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hmm, I have the pickup out of the beat up NJ warlock sort of spare, as I dropped another pup in to try when I rewired it, its Dimarzio style, with the allen key poles and such. Trade for the humbucker?
