Good job, JB and congrats to Shane.

I brought some vegemite back from Oz. Couldn't get a single person interested in trying it. I tried it when I was out there. Must have been my less than enthusiastic review of the stuff! But you'd think people would be curious to at least try it, wouldn't you? See what it is that our Aussie friends like so much about it? No one! I ended up throwing it away a year or two later!

Wow, you threw away perfectly good Vegemite??!!? That stuff has a shelf life approaching that of a Twinkie...
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Congrats Shane, I'm sure you'll love your new 4004!

Yeah, I know. I think it had a "best before" date about 10 years out. I just got tired of looking at the dusty old thing!

Congratulations Shane!

I like all of the finishes I've seen on 4004s, but the recent FG and the BBR are outstanding!

Yep, a paper thin smear on toast over butter!

Congats Shane, she's stunning! Probably one of the most stunning Fireglo finishes I've seen, and the flame just looks the business! I love the fact both my 4004's are so light, but not in sound.

This 4004 is definitely not "light in sound", having played it myself. If you aren't happy with yours try having them set up or see if you can return them... no point sitting around being unhappy with your purchase.
