care to share a shocking secret?

[MGheartGuitar]

I am SO pleased to see people who know what the word "emo" means/meant. Truly, truly amazing and even more so that I'm seeing them on the BKP forum.

Now for a shocking secret:
I'm a professional musician in a touring band yet have virtually no income. I've not been able to have a "day job" for 5 years though now that we're home working on a new album I've been hunting high and low for something to fill the hours and pockets. It should be well apparent that I've got very little in the way of extra spendies.

The shocking secret part: I've been taking advantage of another company who fills my room with free stuff that I don't really care for/use and selling it off at bargain bin prices to fund more Bare Knuckles. I feel pretty cr@ppy about it. Once my current order is paid off I'll definitely stop.

I hope you guys don't think less of me for it. haha

I wont tell, as long as you pass some bargains onto me. I'm very discreet :)

Me too. And I don't feel in the slightest guilty about it!

I've just ate a large domino's pizza, all to myself. Shame i'm still peckish...

[Ian Price]

My shocker is that I found myself humming along to The Promise by Girls Aloud and actually enjoyed it  :o. Does this mean I'm going soft?

Last year at uni I had so many dominos pizzas because they keep giving out vouchers. I feel sick at the thought of em now though, they're not very nice :\

it took me a few thousand posts before i actually got any BKPs, and i still only have one guitar (out of 8) loaded with them... :lol:

I like the "real" emo stuff like Rites of Spring and Indian Summer, but whats called emo nowadays is just shiteee (MCR etc). I do like Jimmy Eat World though.

Hey! Jimmy were there in the beginning man. Check the old albums with Tom Linton singing.

I've never owned a fender too and I don't plan to. Oh and I really hate telecasters  PDT_031

Cheers.

Oh no not another Roo!

[MrBump]

The last time I played with an actual band (not counting the excellent BKP LDN gathering) was about 3 years ago, rehearsing with an ABBA tribute band.  And that was only for a few weeks.

Prior to that, nothing since the mid 1990's.

And I've never owned a Fender. 

Or a Gibson.

forgive you for that  :headphones1:

I like EMG 81s.

A lot.

The EMG 60 is my joint favourite neck pickup (with the painkiller)

But dont have any anymore.

I own a powerball and ubercab that have never been gigged.

I listen to metal 90% of the time, but like bon jovi.

I put an uber-sinner in a westfield strat and love it.

I have a £300 set of headphones that I never use.

Ok, I'm done, for now.

[JDC]

MDV if you want me to look after those headphones for you I'll happily take them off you, I won't even charge you a fee for breaking them in, bargin!!!

I've only ever owned 1 guitar, and it's a Jackson, so I guess technically it's a Fender :P

it doesn't have BKPs in either, although I plan to get some after I've bought some other stuff first, but I know how long it took me to get round to buying a proper amp

I did borrow a BC Rich Warlock for my first 6 months of playing guitar before I got the Jackson, and I didn't know how you were suppose to sit down with a guitar so I've always played in the classical position
