Beth's leaving to visit Italy, France and UK this week!

[Beth]

Hi Everyone!

I'll be leaving this Wednesday to go spread the Good Word O' Ball around to our friends over the pond. I'll be visiting Mogar Music in Italy (Milan), High Tech in France (Paris) and Strings and Things in the UK (Shoreham by Sea), but will be at the London International Music Show from the 12th through the 14th. I can't wait to see you UK Knuckleheads there at the party!

When I get back I'll be posting a photo essay of the trip for all of you to see. Look for it after the 18th!

Ciao! Au revoir! Cheers!
-Beth

Sounds like a blast...Have a great trip and go crazy with the camera. We're ready to meet more of these knuckleheads from across the pond.

Ah, the lovely British Summer!!!

Bring an umbrella!

Bring several - the rain today came from all directions and if you have 5 umbrellas, you can cover yourself Roman-army-tortoise-style But if the wind blows, you'll be stuffed!

Will be great to see you

Safe travels Beth!! have a blast and do try and find some Old Peculiar whilst in the UK... was good when I was there but watch out for the Strongbow, nasty 'morning afters' with that stuff.

Hi Beth,

Really looking forward to meeting you, I'm travelling over 500 miles to buy you a drink!

Please smuggle some goodies with you, do you think you could get some BFR's on as hand luggage ?

Gonna be a great night, I promise to be a true gentleman....

 

[tiffles]

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

cant freakin wait babe!!! do you have your normal cell phone no with you?

lunch date on sun?

eeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

 

[DaveB]

We'll look after very well I'm sure!

However there may be photographic evidence on Sat night (the hotel bar later on will probably get messy!)

For those that are interested strap locks have arrived in the UK and should be with me in the shop in the next couple of days (and yes I ordered black, silver and gold)

Looking forward to LIMS and the Knucklehead bash

Dave

 

[Big Poppa]

the poet left an eight word post!

 

[Smellybum]

There was a young dame named Beth
Who travelled to europe in one breath

She went above below and beneath and got stuck at the party speaking to folks with bad teeth!


Man this stuff is catchy!

 

[JohnnyBoy]

Poet leaves more than 8 (sihouette bass is the greatest!!)

The poet leaves now more than 8
(despite what Poppa said)
To meet his muse Beth he can't wait
- it's understood and read.

Last Saturday he bought a 2nd hand Silhouette
of the bass E to e kind
Since then he plays it night and day
he's in a country tic-tac mind.

All verses must at last have an end
- e'en tho they're kind of groovy
These lines with much regards I send -
Any chance of some vodka in that smoothie?

Louis

P.S. Is the Silhouette Bass, a baritone guitar or a bass? Er.. neither it has is own particular charms - try one. Playing is believing, to try is to buy in my case!
(I really love playing bass , then switching to chords!)

 

[Big Poppa]

JOhhny Boy nice...I know you tried to PM me but please please please dont I was just getting killed with them and I know you have read my sig.....

 

[JohnnyBoy]

Ok, Will do BP (more re my silhouette bass)

Big Poppa,

OK, no problem. I was wondering what PM meant exactly - now all is clear.

Re: Silhouette Bass. Dave@ Machinehead, Hitchin got a 2nd hand one in last Saturday - so I had to buy it after trying it.

Being a southpaw (lefty) I've had to do a few changes: strung it lefthanded, replaced the nut, reset up the intonation, strap button in horn relocated to one of the neckplate holes. I hope it's OK!

Works fine, only real limitation is the body cutaways - being a righthanded body - means last four frets are tricky to access. (but it's essentially used as a bass i.e. low notes)

Tone is great. I'm trying out 4 note chords, country double stops & hammer-ons on the upper strings, switching to standard bass parts at will!

Amazing!
