What made you (want to) Swear Today III?

[EELightning]

Very true, Lincoln7. I laughed when I bought one but cried like a little sissy, school girl when I dropped it down a flight of metal outside stairs, top to bottom. Girlfriend laughed her cute little ar$e off though but with a hint of dissapointment that I didn't follow it down. Biaaatch!

Lol! Good one, I'll have to remember that one! Yes I'm more than very happy to say she is. We have a wicked sense of humour and thats just a little bit from her side, evil but sweet with it. But oh thats nothing!

Guitars are more Organic than woman I reckon, Guitars answer back without any insults. *I'll have to tell her that one!*

...

I just did, and I can't say on here what her reply was lol.

EEL. I have just watched a DVD Andre Rieu, who I am well in to, (Metaphoricaly speaking ) and the girl quartet, BOND played, it was sheer majical the way they made their violins speak, What a difference to a Strad their instruments are, any idea as to who makes them and at what cost.
BTW mine is the one with the long blond hair:diablo:

Lincoln7, I'm not into Andre Rieu but he's one hell of a Violinists for sure. I'm more into Heavy/Death Metal & Rock - Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Cult of Luna, Led Zeppelin and such. (My lass & myself have just got tickets for Motorhead actually)

I've heard of Bond but never looked into them much, they're very pretty though! Oooouf!

Violins aren't my forte, just Guitars and Basses & Amps etc. From what I know Strads are very, very expensive, the deep end of Hundreds to well over a few Thousand but from what I know they're rather exclusive. However I believe there are a couple of base models going for a couple of hundred, maybe even cheaper but still, its a Strad, you know. Even the Bows can be expensive.

Electric Violins are quite something regarding sounds, I've heard one played before through a little 10 Watt amp and if I remember correctly I think it was called a Stagg? I've seen these priced at around £100 and I believe the price does get higher. The ones that Bond play could be a make called Bridge, they retail at around £700+ and I would imagine theres models that are cheaper. Yamaha could be another make Bond play too, but Yamaha being Yamaha, they tend to be very good quality and are usually reasonably priced and of course their instruments are played by a lot of professionals. They're more than likely to have some in a starter pack too - Violin, amp, spare strings, tutorial booklet & DVD etc.

Thats as far as my knowledge with Violins goes I'm affriad.

I've just bought another Guitar today for my collection, tut-tut. But its really nice. I think it may be my main 7 stringer once I chance the pick-ups.
