Mike Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Nearly, but not quite. Stayed in all day today - no bass. Rang Jon about 10 times for a tracking number or something - no-one picking up the phone. I'm now at work tomorrow, and despairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Guys - it's here !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was at work - very close to where I live, so I wrote on a note stuck to my door that I was working in the back garden, and would not hear the doorbell, so would they kindly ring my mobile. When I got the call, I practically jumped out of the nearest window at work, into the car and drove like Jason Bourne all the way home. The delivery chap looked a bit bemused to see me drive up, but I signed for it and took it inside. Took photos while opening it....it's really fabulous. The neck feels amazing, the spec was just right, So comfortable. The finish is fab, LEDs look ace - I haven't plugged it in yet, I'm now back at work. Luckily I have a gig tonight and monday so can give it a stretch out! And on the way back, got a call from my wife telling me that she passed her Citizenship Test - she's American - which is step one to getting her Indefinate Leave to Remain. Good news all round. I'll try my best to get pics up later- but might be difficult, as I'll be out. Thanks for all your counselling over the last seven months! A very happy Mike!

bass_ferret Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Eagerly waiting for porn. Surely the missus can stay cos she is the missus or does that only work for illegal immigrants and convenience marriages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Pics being uploaded now. bass_ferret: When she has been married to me for two years - this jan, it will be - she needs to apply for residency, called indefinate leave to remain. We have to prove it's a real marriage - it's like being on probation for two years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that bass sounds and feels even half as good as it looks you're a very lucky man! Uber congratulations! Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks guys. It's actually got the wrong tuners, meant to be black elephant ear hipshots. But Jon noticed a problem, so he's sending those on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
