Time to move on...

Wow, James. My sincerest condolences to you and your family on your great loss. You've got a lot of knowledge to give and I hope this won't be the last we'll see of you. Perhaps on the Classic 400 site or some other "nutty" forum. Good luck and God bless you, bro!
 
Hi James,

I'm fairly new on TB, but I already got used to seeing you on a number of threads here.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family on your loss. I recently lost my mom to cancer and emphysema. She was only 69. It will take some time for that empty feeling and sense of loss to ease. I sincerely hope you choose to come and visit us at TB after you've had time to adjust to the changes life has just given you.

All the best! ;)

James, respect to you in all ways man, you stood up for your beliefs, and fully and unconditionally apologised for stepping on anothers toes, and now you've come to a crossroads and moved on.

I don't know you, but good luck mate,


Condolances on your loss.
 
I am PM'ing you my addy so you can send me your Benavente
as you obviously will go through GAS withdrawal shortly.

Without your endorsement, I never would have bought one.
Or 2.

Come to think of it, its probably best you do go, you cost
me boatloads of cash over the years. !!

Though, you should probably never burn any bridges behind
you, you have a lot of friends here, and we'll all be happy to
hear from you when you come by.

And thanks for all the info you gave me and the time you
spent bs'ing on bass stuff. You are tops, man!

My condolences our your loss, I have lost all mine as well,
but they live forever in my heart.
O


PS When you see Bruce L, tell him all is forgiven and he can
come home now! ;)
 
It never rains ... it pours :( !

Sorry James. Sounds like you're going through a pretty rough patch right now. My condolences :(.

I don't know "the circumstances" (wrt to TB), but IME you were always a "pillar of the community" and a wealth of knowledge, as well as a good-humoured poster :smug:.

I look forward to seeing you "treading the boards" again ;), once things smooth out for you.

All the best,

Andy

Wow. I totally missed this thread today.

Dude... well, I really wish I could read what was posted cuz I at least want to understand, right or wrong. But really, I hope personal differences don't grate the two of you this strongly! It ain't worth it! Remember all the chaos I make in some of my less-than-noteworthy moments here? It's just the INTERNET, man.

I hope you stick around.
 
James....sad to read about your grandmother. Some people get nicer with age and sadly they leave us.

I really enjoyed your contributions to threads. I really enjoyed your playing on the Youtube movies. You're a talented musician. AND>>>you have great looking basses.

Stay healthy and enjoy life.

Good luck...don't say good bye. Try "see ya later aligator"
 
Aw, see ya around man. You're one of the best.

I guess if I only only have this one last chance I wanted to say...

B basses were never really my thing, I don't really get that whole thick thin thick upper horn thing. I mean more power to you, I just don't get it.

Tootles.


p.s. fwiw though, your clips on YouTube are funky as hell.
