I bet you never spat in his coke. Coke drink that is, not lines of coke.

damn,i don't enter this part of BC very often & didn't know about this,i've had many a chuckle over his witty posts & wondered why i've not seen any for a while,very sad news indeed.

Over the past few months, I've found that I've got less and less time to spend on Basschat, so I've sadly only just read the extremely sad news about Si.

I never met Si but my first dealings with him (when he gave me website advice) left a lasting impression on me.

He was always willing to put himself out to others. in fact, he was helping me for free at the same time that he should've been helping out a paying customer instead. He was honest and forthright, but what an incredibly witty guy. No matter what he said, and no matter how harsh (but invariably true), it was impossible to be offended.

i still look back at the advice Si gave me now and again when I need to refresh my memory. What a shame that he's no longer with us to offer that advice to many others in a style only Si could.

I'll raise my glass to a sad, sad loss.

RIP Oldgit

Not been on for months and just noticed this unbelievably sad news.
Although I never met Si we spoke plenty on messages and emails and he offered nothing but friendship, help and advice.
Truly shocked and upset.

Doesn't seem like a year. I shall raise a glass later in your name mate.

Thoughts are with you OldGit

[Lozz196]

That has been a very quick year.

Thoughts are with Old Git and his family.

Me too. We miss you on here Si.

[Stingray5]

Can't believe how quickly the year has gone.
Thoughts and a glass to OG and family.

Me too Si.
Missed.

Very sad and no easier a year on

[Gareth Hughes]

Damn - tempus sure does fugit. Seems like only a few months I was bantering with him about a bass I ended up buying from him. Miss you round here Si.

[HeavyJay]

I didn't realise it was a year on but strangely enough it was yesterday that it struck me how much I repeat advice that he's given on here.

[waynepunkdude]

Sadly missed.

[xgsjx]

He is indeed. Would it be too big a job to make a Si Advice sticky in memory of him?
A list of quotes, tips & anything else of use/interest that he shared.

[waynepunkdude]

I'd happily put something together.

[xgsjx]

If you need a hand search through the countless posts, let me know. I'm pretty sure that goes for most of us here.
It might make it easier if a few of us took a date/section each & PM'd you things? What do you think?

That would work well.

[xgsjx]

If you'd like to take the lead & keep anyone who wants to get involved organised, that would be great Wayne. Would that suit you ok?
Anyone wanting to get involved in doing so, put your name below & we'll all get a section to search through.

[ShergoldSnickers]

Add me in. Part of his posthumous legacy is helping me drum up the courage to start the Depression thread.

What a lovely idea guys! If you need a mod to edit the post after it has 'gone live' - I know that any of us would be happy to do that, but include me and I will endeavour to help. I can pin it or close it so that we have a clean post to refer to - Maybe even post it in the BassChat Wiki guys!

Doooooooooooooooooooooooood
