If the missus had her way I'd be selling all my basses! She doesn't understand why I need more than one bass!
thedontcarebear Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Are you going via the skilled worker route, or PNP? Good luck over there!

ShaunB Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Good luck in Canada, eh? Back from Vancouver 6 years now - sold all my tools over there to friends - only to find out da Brits use 110V on building sites!!! *doh* Say hi to the ole country for us! Shaun
Bilbo Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Always fancied Canada but, with my ticker, I'm staying where there is a National Health Service! If I was in the US, I'd be dead already! Or bankrupt! Edited September 12, 2008 by bilbo230763
ShaunB Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 ...um, Canada has a National Health Service... it actually doesn't have any private medicine (Alberta are constantly challenging that) - and yeah, it's just a buggered up as ours over here!
Chopthebass Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 Alberta health care is going to be free from January. No one wanna buy some machinery and make their own basses??!!

Biggsy Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Hi Ian, Good luck with the move abroad, I'm very envious. How do you go about sanding the inner horns on a Jazz shape body, do you have a power tool for it or do you do it by hand?
Mikey R Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 whats the model number of the three sanders? Which is the quietest?
Kiwi Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 hey Ian, so the move is actually happening at last?
TDM Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I could actually do with having all those tools for my bass/guitar projects. I can't afford to spend that much on tools though. Good luck in Canada!
