Paul_1991 Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Hello, I have been browsing this site for a few weeks now, so I thought it was time to sign up! I am 16 and have been playing bass for 4 years, my bass guitars are a Musicman SUB4 and a Tanglewood R4K which was my starter bass. For amps, I use a Fender 60 Frontman and Fender 15 Rumble and I use a Boss GT6B for effects. Mainly I play songs from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Victor Wooten, Jimi Hendrix, Arctic Monkeys and others. Quote
Kiwi Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Welcome Paul. I'm guessing not everyone in Lowestoft likes The Darkness then? Quote

Paul_1991 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 The Darkness....First album was big, second was nowhere near as good as the first. They're not really mentioned round Lowestoft now anyway, a forgotten band now. Quote
GreeneKing Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Hiya Paul and welcome. How do the local pronounce Lowestoft btw, is it: Low e stoft or Low stoft always wondered and suspected it might be the latter. Peter Quote
Dood Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 it's the latter, but I (not being a local) have always called it the former. However, I can't help thinking that, as a 'toft' is a dwelling, enclosure or out building; I wonder if the area had something to do with a chap called 'Lowe'? My local history isn't all that! Quote
GreeneKing Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Hehe, coming as I do from a place called Mersea Island, Essex in name but Suffolk in nature, we always called it Low stoft but I just wondered what the 'official' verdict was. Thanks Dood Pierre Quote
Paul_1991 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks for the welcome guys... As for the Lowestoft pronunciation it does vary among the locals, I tend to pronunce it Low Stoft, but there is a lot of variation involved. Quote
