But for some reason I just picture a 12-year old who wants to form a metal band with his mates and gets given this by his mum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golchen Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I think the son was trying to subtly out himself when he asked for something pink with a G string and a seriously impressive bottom end that he could play with in the bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Pink's not so bad. My dad often goes misty eyed when he talks of his 60s Fender P in salmon pink... His look then turns nasty when he continues and says he sold it when I was born... Edited July 14, 2009 by bartelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
