Aye, I'm one of them. I was playing drums in a band for about 6 months last year. Great fun but just got fed up, the bastids wouldn't give me a hand carrying gear onto and off stages... miserable lazy ******** ***** **** ******* ******* ********* ******

Always be nice to your drummer and help them carry their stuff, that's what I learned

I can fart around on most instruments, but I'd only claim to be able to play one really well. It's my baby and I've been playing this particular model for 16 years now. It's due a service fairly shortly though. There are better models out there, but y'know I'm become so accustomed to mine that I'd find it hard to change.

I still find myself playing drums, guitar, and singing. Play a little bass now and again, but nothing resembling talent!

Sometimes I think I want to drum, sometimes I think I want to be a singer, and sometimes I think I'd be best sticking to what I'm good at - guitar. The problem is that I don't know any like-minded individuals to back-up my guitar-playing, and so I always end up alternating between the three. Sad really.

Is that VAT or customs and excise duty or both? Originate from US of A?

It is €58.39 VAT, €9.92 duty and €9.50 Customs clearance fee. Still, less than €400 total for a G&L 5 string Mustn't grumble.

Edit -> yeah, from the states, I went with US postal service instead of UPS or FedEx, much cheaper, but slower. Got it from www.topshelfmusic.com - the guy I was dealing with, Scott, even threw in a Fender hard case for free Sweet.
