Broken through the 5000 posts barrier!
« on: February 23, 2009, 03:34:23 PM »
Well it's been on the cards for a little while, and now I've hit 5000 posts on the forum.  Not as many as some others, but certainly a hell of a lot!   :lol:

I joined on 9th January 2006, asking for pickup advice (as we all do):  http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2419

The first BKPs I bought were a set of Riff Raffs for my Epi SG when I joined YC/DC?, and I'm still loving that guitar and band.  I've since bought and sold a bunch of BKPs, guitars, amps and effects in my tone quest and I think I've finally reached a point of stability.  The task from here onwards is to get the best out of my playing.

I've learnt a hell of a lot from everyone on here about all aspects of music and gear, so thanks to you all!

Congrats! :D

A celebratory NGD is called for mebbe? :lol:

I was well-chuffed when I reached 1000 the other week - the count itself obviously, but it was more the fact that I consider this place interesting/friendly enough for me to stick around that long...

Congrats on the 5k

Having checked my own profile, how long has everyone been on the forum? And I don't mean date but time.

Mine is: 6 days, 15 hours and 33 minutes

honestly, once i get over a certain number of posts i wish they'd stop counting them as it just makes me look sad... :lol: you want enough not to be classed as a noob, but that's about it. :D EDIT: it's a really cool forum- nice people who act like normal people, most of the time. also i like how it's UK-centric (mainly), as a lot of the other forums are always talking about gear which is good value in the USA, but terrible value here... :lol:

I'm close to you Jonny, 7 days, 15 hours and 49 minutes.  I joined on April 10th, 2005, but I got my first BK's in 2004.  I was an awkward sod already then and didn't buy a set, I got an Emerald/AIV Mule set for a Les Paul and a Crawler/BKP91/BKP91 for a PRS EG4!  Since then I have bought more than 70 other BK pickups and have them in more than 35 guitars!

I refuse to say how much time I've spent on here.  It's a lot.  But I don't have a life.   :oops:

Congrats on hitting middleweight, Dave!  :D
