    It gets posted about once every six months, but a refresher never hurts. Also, this may be the first time it's been posted in those funky British dollars. I don't think you'll take much heat over it.

    Sorry Jack, you can't be perfect. Only JimmyM is perfect. I wanna join your JimmyM fan club, I love Jimmy's posts :D

    To describe Jimmy as "grumpy" would be to miss a perfect opportunity to use the word "irascible". But he's always worth reading, and he's often spot on (except about graphite necks, he's way out on that issue. And "mwah". And modding basses. Apart from those, he's perfect).

    A bone player is a trombone player :3
     
  13. It's saying that trombone players never get any work (I think. Then again, I have a tendency to not get even the most obvious jokes.)

    Hope to build the sig. up so big that it won't fit. And maybe even get a real quote from Jimmy.

    Jazzin' ...Bluesin' and Funkin'

    Theres one of those posted in my school in the music department area.
     
  15. A real quote from Jimmy? I never knew he was that famous.
