hi lee, i see your from the uk so i would look at on-line shops in the uk/europe first!

thorsmanns from germany are good. i bought a vocal harmoniser from them. good service)

i found music matters are also good and prompt. (i bought a recording program from here, so i dont know if they do amps)

there are others but i cant remember their names at the moment, so just "search" an amp brand (vox etc) to find out the best price, then try one out at your local dealer (which will probably cost more but they will give you good advice) then when you've decided what suits you best, go for it.

let us know how you get on

no great grand kids yet but i've got 2 that are nearing the age, 17 going on 35 you know what i mean?
as for us, it seems we've always got a house full, my daughter lives just 3 doors away so we see her and her 2 kids daily. the 2nd oldest son lives in the next street, he's just produced my youngest grandson, which we see every day, he has 2 older kids too. my youngest son lives about a mile away his oldest (9) can find his own way here and does at least twice a day, my son brings his 3 year old daughter down to see us every other day. so it's a good life and seldom quiet.

further to my post above, it seems the "missing plug in" has infected me too.

Hi Robert, I've just had good news from my oldest son in Australia, I'm becoming a grandfather for the 11th time in August/September next year, so your song has that little bit more significance for me.

A happy Christmas and festive season to your good self and your family.

following on to what jerome said above, the first time i went on holiday to turkey was one big eye-opener for me. this was about 15 years ago and after getting off the plane at dalaman airport (which is  or was a military airport) and travelling for 4 hours in a rickety old bus, all i remember is the poverty, the broken down homes, cars that were left overs from the american bases and were falling apart, but mainly how friendly these people were. i'd never had any contact with muslims before and i was very apprehensive as to the welcome we'd get. apart from watching the men so they'd leave the wife's bum alone they were great, we made friends and when we returned the following year they'd actually remember us even our names. i've had holidays since in spain and greece and felt like something they cleaned off their shoes. one of my fondest memories was walking down the main street in kusadasi and seeing an ox cart with the farmers wife pulling the ox, the cart full of water mellons and the farmer sitting with the reins in one hand and his mobile phone (cell phone) in the other! at that time i didn't even have one my-self!

i thought i'd share this cos the religious theme has overtaken the thread somewhat.

to finish off, i think we are all religious in one way or another, even pagans. god may have been invented to explain how we got here, to give laws and teach how to live in peace. unfortunately theses ideals have been used and abused by the religious hiarchy for their own ends. governments would have us all illiterate and innumerate if they could. they got away with it for hundreds of years, a time we call the dark ages. the poor only get dangerous when they have a little knowledge and can think for themselves. then we would stop being cannon fodder for the rich, powerful and royal.

hey russ, that's interesting about the fender broadcaster as i used to know a guy who had one. did they start making them again later?

talking of steven hawking, i watched one of his programmes the other day in which he (more or less) proved there was no god!

i dare say someone else will come along and prove there is...what bothers me about religion is that we have to accept the word of people like the pope, the arch bishop of canterbury, mullah's, rabbi's etc. i wonder if we'd accept god's word if he actually turned up? would we be as hostile as they were 2000 years ago when they crucified jesus?

during the 70's i played with a band called "Enchiriadis" (enkiriadis) it's a musical term that was suggested to me by a music teacher. i cant remember now what it means (old age) but feel free to use it if you like it, and can pronounce it.

i also love all the science and natural history programmes.

zguitar mentions that there seems to be no one around today to match what da vinci and heron and a great host of others designed and invented. nobel is one that is over looked unjustly i feel, dynamite is not just used for blowing people up!

what about babbage and his computers?

everyone gives microsoft a hard time, where would we be without them?

one of the greatest inventors of modern times must be LES PAUL, without him would we have the electric guitar?

i also have heard that john lennon came up with the idea for the flanger!

if you have to be pedantic...yes, but as a long term member of this site i've come to realise that we all make small errors and everyone overlooks them, otherwise we'd all spend most of our time correcting mistakes instead of doing what we come here to do, which is to share music, views, ideas, friendship, knowledge and expertise, so as my American friends say; chill maan
