    It takes that long to get in? I would come to the US, all you need is a note from your mother. Once here, all you need is a birth certificate and drivers license (you can buy one in the US) to get into Canada.

    Hahah, that's not a bad idea just_strum! but wouldn't I need to get a green card & all that crap first? They say it can take up to 2 or 3 years to get permanent residency in Canada, that's what I'm waiting on.

    Warren: LOL, great thread, I'm at work right now or I'd add a couple of my own.. there's one at the beginning of this thread for a start, though

    Damn thats nice!

    I love old Rick bass's, but I do have a soft spot for their guitars too and that one looks heaps cool. Gratz man

    Good luck on all your relocation stuff too.
    (although it sucks that another Sydney fretter appears and then moves to Canada haha. I guess my secret identity stays secret for a while longer)

    Right near where I work!! I'm on the corner of Maddox & McEvoy! (sometimes Waterloo, sometimes Alexandria, depending who you ask) You must have had a front row seat to that whole balcony saga eh? so sad.

    Maybe one day we'll get together for a jam or something, if you want to get in touch hit me up at araT85@gmail.com!

    Wow so close! I work on O'Dea Ave so pretty close by

    Re: the Balcony thing. I'm kinda of crap at keeping up with current events, so I was more than a little freaked when as I approached my place there were cops everywhere. Cops everywhere is rarely a good sign...

    Then I realised they were heading over the road and not into my complex so I had to check out the news and then I found out what had happened.

    It'd be cool to have a jam some time, I dunno if there are any other ppl on here from Sydney we can drag along, but if there are that'd be cool too. Be warned though my fetish for guitars and amps is much stronger than my ability to actually use them.

    Given your stash of guitars, are you playing in a band right now?

    Yeah, I drove right by it that morning and was wondering what the heck was going on, I figured it'd be one of the junkies.. one click on SMH revealed the tragic truth.. must have been real scary living across from it though.

    Definitely not in a band, last attempt at that was high-school.. I actually work as a sound engineer (when I can find the work) heh.. though the job in Alexandria is I.T. - a far more reliable mistress. And my collection far outranks my skill, I figure they're safer than banks and much more fun I've been playing for about a decade, but never really put much into it, I've only been giving it serious energy last 2 or 3 years.

    Damnit I can't wait for the Ric any more, it's tearing me up! I don't know how you lot order them from the factory & wait 2 or 3 years!

    We don't have to. This store is about 10 miles from my house:

    Now if I only had the cash to afford one :
