Sted - have you checked your PC for viruses lately? I've got a couple of unsolicited emails from you that had no content other than a very dodgy looking link I refused to click.
I'm not so bad all in all - got myself back into reasonable shape through some running/hiking/weights and although I dislike having to call on medical professionals, having thyroid hormones rather than none at all (apparently my problem was quite well advanced) has also had a beneficial effect.....just cba playing guitar! In truth I haven't played since I moved house really....just realised that whatever my listening tastes I'm such a terrible player that I should probably sell up and move on.....which is mainly motivated by a lack of cash. If I had cash for lessons I'd keep it!
Yeah, I'd probably lose out - can't even afford to post the bugger so I would have to allow interested parties to collect it and part of me really hopes that somehow I get back into it.
Good to see you're still kicking anyway pal, I will try and stay in touch a little better mate, you actually sound a little better in yourself too mate (If you can sound any way whatsoever on a forum!) which I was hoping for pal, I must frequent this place a little more often, its sheer size is quite scary though! lol!
Yeah man, gutted about Gary Moore, seems a dumb kiddie thing to say but the music and stuff was quite a big part of my life, thigs like the missus got me tickets for him one year before we were married and stuff, ah well
Fred's a jammy bugger getting that endorsement, I picked a new Jaden S2 up the other day myself, 3 single coils! You know me, anything to be different, really like it actually, the strat has been firmly relegated since its arrival. funny when I was down that way I sam loads of signs for Bourne and thought, shit, havet spoke to Davey in a while but I guess you had a cull on the foruming, facebook etc, I was thinking you might have even abandoned this place! shoulda known better though ;-)
do you think you would lose out on the Carvin then? I thought you would maybe do alright from it being as they put all their UK prices up? I think you would regret selling it mate but I'm the last person to preach about such things, when times are hard you make sacrifices, end of chat!
Hey Sted! Aye, it's been a while - funny how not having access to a "common" forum curtails one's social life on the internet....how's tricks?
Yeah, still got the Carvin but haven't played it since September - Fred did want to buy it but I was reluctant to part with an instrument like that and ofc now he's got that Jaden endorsement he doesn't need yet another 7! My bad....will probably have to put a sales thread up and shoot myself in the foot on the price.
No idea what happened to SR - Dan hasn't been in touch to say he's stopped hosting it but I hadn't updated the site in a while (the last 6 or 7 updates were all from a friend who wanted to keep it running after I lost interest) and quite honestly although I did some reviews I was proud of, there were some that weren't so good and overall the satisfaction I received compared to the time and money I spent on it wasn't in any way comparable.
Alright Dave, long time no speak mate. I see SR has gone to the netherworld, shame that mate.
Hows things with you mate? You still got the Carvin? I thought Fred might have extracted that from you by now! He seems to be buying every other seven on the planet!
hope you're well mate.
