Nice one, Paul. Hopefully I'll be able to check it out in person some time this year. :mrgreen:

My 'present to me from me' should be arriving at the office today or tomorrow. Nothing special but extremely useful! :wink:

Is it a crock pot? I got an awesome crock pot as well, but I didn't say anything because it wasn't music gear... :lol: :lol:

No, not a crock pot but that would be appropriate for an old crock like me!! :lol:

In a way it's similar because you can put lots of goodies in it...... :wink:

I'm such a butt-head, forgive me, Paul A, for not mentioning your new toy.

I'm IN LOVE with your new 360WBOSSPC thingy. Do you do wedding ceremonies to guitars? :lol:

The guitar was originally a 24 fret model. Dale Fortune came up with the idea of converting it to 21 frets to match the "OS" style of the guitar. I've never had a 21 fret WB-type guitar, unless one counts a 381, which is double bound, but also has the German carves on the bottom and top of the body, so it's a bit different. I don't think I'll miss the other three frets, and I've come around to liking the pickup spacing; it used to freak me out-I'd seen too many photos of 21 fret Ricks with necks snapped off right at the end of the neck/edge of the body.

Thanks Aitch, anytime. I look forward to your next visit! :)

OK...... not terribly exciting but extremely functional. Travelling space for effects, power and guitar leads, powerboards, straps, books, recorders, cameras, stands, spares, tools and all that other jazz that I would normally tote around in a huge sports bag! :D

Nice one Aitch! Coingrats!! :D

You're not a "rank amateur"; at the very least you're a professional amateur. :D The number of songs you know and play well is encyclopedic, to say the least. On the Sunday of SCARF `08 I was a bit hung over from the previous evening's festivities, but you'd drunk the rest us under the table, yet were playing away like it was nothing. I couldn't remember more than 2-3 chords from each song, if that. :lol:
