Tjenare Robert, o tack för välkomnandet!Originally Posted by Robert
I watched some of your videos (great stuff, BTW!) on youtube, followed the links and ended up here. Looked like a cool place, so I thought I'd might as well sign up and join the fun! I hang out on a few other forums as well, Strat- and Squier-talk and TDPRI, but this seems to be more of a "guitars-and-stuff-in-general" community, which can be nice for a change, and as a complement to the other, more brand specific ones.
Thanks for the warning about the SuperSwede, I'll watch my back!
Cheers
Johan

Welcome to The Fret, Telefinkin.
Yeah, those Volvo P1800's are really cool! The guy who designed it later became Swedens most well-known boat designer. Too bad he didn't stay with Volvo instead...
Hey, nice guitars You have!I love those Reverends, although I've never seen one "in person".
cheers

Yes! Thank Goodness for the power of IKEA! I can get me meatballs there anytime I'm Edmonton. Actually, it's crazy how cheap it is to eat there. You can get pasta lunch for $1.99, and meat balls and potatoes are $2.99. Talk about fast and good fast food!Why yes of course! We must spread our meat-balls all over the world, right?

Welcome!
You do know that hailing from the shredder nation of Sweden means that you'll be playing rings around us in no time.
Glad you're here, and post often!
On another note, I heard an IKEA advertisement on the radio yesterday. A bright and cheery Swedish accented, female voice said (and I'm paraphrasing):
"At IKEA, we have everything for the home. Cookware to prepare a family meal, servingware to serve it, and if they complain, we sell lots of big, sharp knives!"
After laughing heartily, I made a mental note. If I'm EVER in Sweden (or see an IKEA logo in the home), I've decided to eat whatever is offered, and like it, lest I leave with more holes in me than I arrived with.

I've had that meal at our Ikea, and it was pretty dang tasty.
Might need to go up to the store again...
Found a "smilie" you might like, Robert.

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
