    I was trying to remember who burnt me in effigy back on the Music Radar forum that preceded this one. YouTube video and all.
    That was (Dave) MALAM ... who came back as FeloniousBee for a while... owner of some superb Jems and made a great lKrieger SG too .... 
    He owned Steve Vai’s Neville for a while as I remember? Great player, his Zappa covers were brilliant. Funny guy too, he did some videos with a mask or a bag over his head.

    Lixarto! Now there's a twat of the highest order!
    I went to one of the Northern GASFests he organised when I was a newish member and he was perfectly fine with me. 

    That was where I met Gojirosan and Minkymonkey, and the "Ginger Giants" - the twin brothers. One of the twins was getting started with building guitars, and was planning an acoustic baritone.  He played my Seagull Artist and decided he wanted cedar top and mahogany back and sides, exactly the same.  Was one called Jamie?

    And a chap called Sam who created The Overbear - he had a brother called Nick, who turned up here within the last year or so, but sadly I've forgotten their surname...

    Solar was one of the big ginger guys. I think he might still be around? 

    I remember the brothers. You’re right, one was called Nick but I can’t remember their surname either. Aaargh, that’s really going to bug me now!  

    I’d forgotten about Minky! There was Huey, the Scottish guy too.

  • Does anybody still speak to @Alnico here?
    Sadly he decided out of the blue that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with me, which is his choice and his right, but would just be nice to know how he is as he was a good friend to me until that point.

    Solar was Jamie and his Brother who made the guitars was called "Jammy" on the forum but I can't recall his real name.
    Nick and Sam Botfield were the other 2 .

    He had more ego than a hundred lead guitarists.

    is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

    I didn’t ever understand anything Frankus posted. He was like Confucius on steroids. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    If that was sufficient grounds, this forum would be a very quiet place ...

  • Whatever happened to the GAS legend that was Nocaster?? Most of the used gear ended up winging it's way to Kirkaldy (and often back out again)

    I did one of his pedal kits.. Zen drive with boost I think - my shit soldering meant it took about 3 weeks to build.. and then it didn't power up! 

    More recent but I can confirm the legend that is @equalsql is ok after bumping into him while out on a walk.

    In a huge co-incidence, I came across an old - un-built - kit of his recently.  A TS9 / overdrive of some sort.  I guess I should really try to find a circuit diagram and put it together!

    That era was “peak forum” for me.

    Nick Botfield was the most unassumingly casual-rockstar who was never even in a band. Awesome singer and player. We played on a few things together at IGF and Swinfest.

    He is (I kid you not) a Librarian
