smudge9000 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi everyone! Thought I'd finally sign up as I've been haunting theses corridors reading stuff for ages Been playing about 15 years - I currently play in a rock covers band. Never been in a pure covers band before and really enjoy it! Kit wise I use a MiM Fender Jazz which I've fitted Seymor Duncan pickups, American style hand wound electrics, Goteh Badass II style bridge and painted neon pick Squier Jaguar with Humbucker (previous owner replaced logo with Fender) Fender Mark Hoppus (phase2) Signature Precison. Ashdown ABM EvoII, 2X10 & 1X15 I look forward to getting involved with the community! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Welcome Smudge. I shouldn't worry about the logo issue. It hardly ever gets mentioned here and is in no way controversial whatsoever at all, your honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge9000 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Haha yes I seen many comments about this dark art. In my deference it was like than when I bought it! And it was an absolute bargain - I'd never seen a Jag with a humbucker before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these have been birthed before our very eyes. I'm sure you've seen the Build Diaries already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the utopia that is Chelmsford My old man worked at the Dagenham plant pretty much all of his life, ( wasn't that the biggest factory in Europe at the time ? ) till we moved near to Purfleet, then he transferred to what was then the AVO plant at Ockendon - Advanced Vehicle Operations, where i think all the old Escort Mexicos were fettled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I confess that i was actually born in Barking hospital, but the paradise that is Dagenham was where my parents lived at the time. I worked in Hornchurch in my early days of working, and Romford. And then started the outward trajectory that you speak of. I got a lot further than you, as you can see So i win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangotango Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Another Essex occupant here, and in Hornchurch as well, as referenced by others. However, I too am an outsider, having arrived from the Frozen North some 37 years ago on a mission of Spreading Culture To The Locals.... you can guess how that turned out.
