Hi from the isle of wight england

[Oren Hudson]

Welcome to the forum Allan. I'm sure you'll find out about basses and tons of other stuff. BTW - have you ever had grits at breakfast? If not, check out the "Down Here NZ" thread. You'll find all the details.

Thanks For the welcome Oren, I'm not sure what grits are but i'll check it out

Grits? Think corn all mashed up and probably a bit gritty. Grits aren't considered Kai down here (NZ).
Welcome aboard Allan.

Allan - don't pay any attention to Richard and his synopsis. He's never even had grits. Take it from me, you'd love them if you ever got to have some. They are a treat of the Southern states. Yankees don't know any more about them than you or Richard, although Richard is getting educated (I think) as we go along. In spite of his lack of the proper respect for grits, Richard is my friend and over all, a pretty good fella.

Oren, my friend, if you really liked me you'd have used two of those green grinning fellows and written "Lol!" before the first one. This is the custom and, living in a British colony, I am big on customs.

BF Richard. I guess I'll plead ignorance. I know not the significance or insignificance about the green grinning fellows and Lol!. Please advise. As far as Kustoms, they're another one of my favorite (now)vintage rigs. I played through the rolled and pleated 100 watt head with 2 2-15 cabs throughout the 70s. Great rig. Sadly, the rig was destroyed in a fire about 15 years ago. However, I now have another 100 watter with 1 2-15 cab identical to the '68 rig before it was destroyed. I do love the tuck & roll Kustoms. I was at a guitar show 6 or 8 years ago in Nashville, Tennessee and meet Bud Ross, the original developer and maker of Kustom equipment. In fact, on the earlier rigs, the logo says Kustom by Ross, Inc. What a nice person. Talked with him for 15 minutes or so. So don't forget to tell me about British Kustoms and/or customs. Your choice. Lol! (I think I followed the custom properly) ... Nero, the soon to be hero??

Allan - you mentioned the bass that you're playing, but I didn't see the amp rig. Care to share that too? Just love to hear about others stuff.
