Nobody hurt though! The lever bass is a blast, but hard to play. I'll let ya know when I'm back online and we can chat. Later.

Folks will hear your guitars and want one. Good business (and you've heard my stuff - I can't find a note with a map yet).

yep i'm a regular over at Scrub/stink finger radio - it's a good show on fridays infact i listen all the time while i'm working some great unknown bands on there too and it's a great laugh in the live chat - i take it you are talking about last fridays show with Hollowbelly's interveiw ? when he mentioned me as a master craftsman lol! i dont know about that so much i just like to make things - a better title for me is "A Jack of all trades master of none" that about sums me up hehe!
you know mate i'd love to come to the states it's one of my things to do before i die so to speak - if i ever make it i'll give you a shout bro would be cool to hang out with you i'm sure we have lots in common
Cheers mate take it easy now

juju :-)

It kinda makes it all extra worthwhile and not just a self indulgent hobby. Your woodworking skills are far superior to mine but I enjoy what i do which is the main thing.
