Les Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hello everyone Been having a mooch on here since I was dragged kicking and screaming out of retirement a couple of months ago and it's a great forum. Played for longer than I care to remember, working my way through a few basses inc. 3 Precisions, 1 great, 1 indifferent and one not very good. Now left with my 79 Stingray and my very old Fender Mustang battered to death, never played but much loved. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome guy's. Just had a quick squint at my account settings but sadly I cant find the "TURN THE FOR SALE AND WANTED FORUM OFF" button, so it's looking like wallet trauma for me. I've already had a look and come out with a "virtual" shopping list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 'welcome pie eater' Thanks Graham, but I'm only an honorary pie eater cos' I was born in Bootle, I've lived here 41 years but I'm still an "outlander" to the locals. Steve, I live in Ashton, the centre of the known universe . Where abouts are you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
