Re: Another Welly Gearfest before the end of the year?

Bugger, Sunday's a bad day for me. Will have to see if I can get out of playing at church that day - except Ninja is the most likely candidate to fill in for me, and he wants to go to, so it looks bad. I'm keen as too.

Re: Action on an Acoustic Guitar

Re: Ebay Amps

If you are looking for a head do you already have a speaker cab? If not then you're going to be looking at maybe the same amount of $$ again for a half decent cab and speakers. Don't bother importing - it will cause you nothing but strife if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. And the fr...
