: I just realised how boring the above must be to the non-musicians among you,

well I enjoyed reading about the music gear stuff...so I'll join in and bore everyone too dave if you don't mind...I gig with a Status Shark (naff or what!) 5 string Bass and a Trace Elliott 7210 with a 15" Hartke Bass Bin...I'm thinking of getting a bass synth module (to show off ha ha ha) and my bodhran is lush and made by a dutch bloke...weird or wot! my acoustic is nothing to write home about just a run of the mill Yamaha...db i can't believe you have to borrow someone else's acoustic (use mine if you like he he he) give us a chance to BUY your cd's as opposed to blagging them and you'll get some dosh...see? easy innit!
