niceguyhomer Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Just got home from my hols last night and was catching up when I noticed there's a lot of new members and it's great stuff We'll have to resurrect the "Show your faces" thread. Bit depressing to see a lot of gear not moving though, a sign of the times I supppose - anyway, good to be back on the board. Quote

More holiday! I finally booked my first holiday for almost 2 years yeaterday, off to a villa in Rhodes at the beginning of October. It took almost 3 hours to book the flights because EVERY website had "technical difficulties" just as I came to pay. Think that meant the flights didn't actually exist but Thomson came to the rescue via First Choice... Quote

thisnameistaken Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I've seen two or three basses in the last couple of weeks that I would've bought if I could justify having them. Unfortunately I've got a holiday that isn't paid for yet and a tax bill to settle at the end of the month - July's always my weakest gear-buying month. I'm also torn between buying another 4-banger or buying an upright. I don't think an upright will fit in my car, but I need a new car anyway. Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Hey Al, welcome home & hope you had a great time! (Sounds like it, anyway!) How did you cope with not being able to GAS for basses for such a prolonged period?? Rich. Quote

Agree with you on the site - people seem to have got their sense of humour back. Quote
Mike Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Ah, a holiday - that explains the slump in the market then! Hope you had a good one! Quote
