just a comment about your site, you gotta put http:// at the start of the links, otherwise it thinks it's a link to another section of geocities. i.e.
www.warwick.com links to http://www.geocities.com/lessthanjakebass/www.warwick.com
=P by the way, great guide

*EDIT* i just realised it's http://www.warwickbass.com hehe, warwick.com goes to some search site

no, but computer geek as i am i still have an AIM name and 5 minutes to spare to D/L it

Now that i think of it, if yahoo doesnt suspend your screen name after 4-5 years, i could get on YIM also

It's called the EDIT function Exit, learn to use.

And thats great work, even though this was done ages ago. I'm gonna use this method when i get a bass to de-fret.

yeah, i was tired and all, deleted them now :d
and allthough this was done ages ago, a lot of members/new members are always deciding to defret it. So it has to be online all the time
