Rockin' nickname. Every time i read it i get this nice little image of a monkey playing an (accoustic) guitar, with dark glasses and a cigar. And he's playing the guitar well as well. And I like the little t, it kinda breathes of relaxedness.

Why thankyou roadkill! Though I should not take the credit, that goes to Steve Cooper, the bassist in my old band BLIM. Who after a particularly long tone control tweakage on my part christened me.
Steve was a wonderful man, inspirational on a human as well as musical level, he moved to Abu Dhabi and unfortunately we lost touch. I would love to see him again.
Your nickname however, brings to mind darker imagery: A long haired collossus gloating over the devestation he hath wreaked upon a hedgehog or suchlike. Also whilst playing a guitar. Equally rockin tho'

The long haired bit I aim to carry out. Especially if it's greasy, and kinda matted. The animal bit I am less keen on. I just liked the name, I never really knew what it meant.
BLIM, was that the name, or an acronym?

The whole name, though we ran the risk of being called blip.

Cool.
I had a brief look for "BLIM" but I could only find some sort of gangsta rapper someone.

A further clue.......
Don't link it to music.
Although interestingly a band operates in the cincinati(?) area called blim and the guitarist has the same first name as me!

Yay!
If given a chance you may get to see what he can REALLY do, as I have said before, the records do not do the man justice!

You may see this somewhere else, but, how do you fix a broken pick- up?

Broken or loose mate, does it work electrically or is it not mounted right?
I left instructions for the latter on the Hello roadkill thread!

It's worked itself loose somehow, possibly because once in my more naive days I fiddled around with the screws.
