Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA | My apologies GR8, I, like most other Candians do not like confrontation (of ANY KIND...)... this is the direct result of a 'gang attack' on me personally and I just got tired of being slapped around...
The matter ENDS here as far as I am concerned... Again, my apologies if rules were controvened. |

Model 1537 has its bridge Bolted with 2 bolts , that would make for a secure connection , and it sounds far from thin .. on the contrary , it has a Strong and Warm voice .. as far as the anti-roll device goes .. tjah , some people put racing-stripes on their car , and the other day , I saw a car with a grave-yard painted on ,.. tomb-stones all over it , .. x-tra`s can be fun I s`pose ..

nor did I say I was a big dog. I actually have a rather small collection.
You are the one who showed true colors by trying to impress us with your world class 150 guitars.
I was letting you know that I for one was not impressed cause I know people who have more than 150 guitars stored away because it interferes with the other 200 that they keep handy for playing purposes.
Seems to me that you exposed yourself in your own self condescending statement
I've been waiting for one of you...
that your only purpose here was to promote your radio site and try to bait the regulars.
CLICK! |

Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA | Stephen, nothing of the kind... I TOTALLY respect the members here whether they are players or collectors... My exception was with the condescending (and sometimes rude attitude...) that was shown to ME and others here.
I don't have 150 guitars (no where near it actually), nor would I have much use for them if I did. As I stated in the previous entry, the guitars I have are to use... daily!!
For those of you following this on-going debaucle... this all started when/because I made an off-hand remark that someone mistakenly took to be insulting to ALPEP. This was NOT my intention at the time and I said so. It was said in a humourous way and was totally mis-interpretted. I have NOTHING but respect for the man!!
From this point on, everytime I turned around, I was getting it in the neck from someone or other. Being that this seemed to be an orchestrated 'event', I (possibly) over-reacted as well. Rather than continuing to slap each around about this... why not draw a line under it?
As I said earlier... After this, I don't intend to comment on it further. If you don't like something I've said... take it up with the mods!! I've already heard from them and they are aware of both sides of this... as they should be, in all fairness.
My hand is out... either shake it or slap it away... it's up to you. |

So suck it up buttercup! |

Back to our common love of guitars... you can lead the way.
Anyone else?
StoneBobbo, perhaps?
I KNOW you know A LOT about guitars and computers... I appreciate your help in the past.
What are we fighting about (bad syntax?) |

| Well, at the risk of breaching the code of conduct and offending the humourless cognoscenti as well as the high end conno-sewers I’ll just say that the Standing Ovation Device is one seriously dorky looking contraption. |

but I digress (and agree with you 100%) |

Then I was searching for a photo of an Ovation with bridge-pins when this thread degenerated into mud slinging about who has more guitars...
So what were we typing about? :confused: |
