I am Bob.

RodneyVikens

Actually I am not Bob. I don't even know a Bob. I am a reformed Viking. Saw a link to this Forum from another Private Forum.

Every Viking needs an axe, so;

I have a simple setup, got most of the stuff from SAMIS. Although I have been playing for a while (or trying at least) I only recently started getting some gear.

Epiphone Dot
Blackstar HT 20 Combo
Couple of basic pedals. Some bought. Some borrowed. The struggle is real.
Audio Technica m40x Headphones
Tinitus 2.0

Welcome RedVIking/BoB! May your time here be filled with many stringed things. Guitars too even.

The forum software doesn't do attachments > 1mb each. AFAIK there's no limit on resolution eg. Picture size - just file size needs to be < 1mb. Though it does do windows, 'droid and MacOS - so it's swings n roundabouts!

We do have a challenge running this month, check it out here if you feel the need to flex your creative muscles

RodneyVikens I don't even know a Bob.

Let me help...?

RodneyVikens Coffee

Son of a BoB - that looks like all kinda delicious. And here I am kickin' the habit!

RobbieZ

RodneyVikens Okay, so If you are not Bob and Vikings does not exit anymore (I do like your exe), who are you?

RodneyVikens

This was my first track recorded for fun. Some time ago.

Ibanez Something, Roland Cube 80XL, Reaper.

Welcome to the forum. We accept the recording in lieu of pics for the moment. Sounds great

RodneyVikens

guidothepimmp thanks. You have any idea why I get an error?

Is there a limit to the size allowed to be uploaded?

Welcome @RodneyVikens

Nice track sounds like you'll be an awesome addition to our little community

RodneyVikens

V8 Coffee & Guitar. Can't have the one without the other.

P. S. Is it normal for posts to wait approval? There is quiet a delay before they appear. It's like using WhatsApp calling on CellC.

Edit: Nevermind. It's not showing anymore. ☺

Yep, first-time posters have to have all their posts approved for a while.

V8

RodneyVikens It's like using WhatsApp calling on CellC.

Heh, like @NorioDS mentioned, it's a manual process for your first handful - I tryto check in to the forum a couple times/day but I guess it's like CellC's offerings...no SLA, just a undefined 'best effort' ? ,

Nice ?

RodneyVikens

RobbieZ I have been asking that same question for many years. But a Viking I am. I set up hut here in Zululand.

RodneyVikens

This forum is not really active?

NorioDS

RodneyVikens This forum is not really active?

Not really, no. It's something I hope to fix but it's been slow going.

Tuckstir

RodneyVikens

Not really active as opposed to other forums,its basically a numbers game ( we need more members)
But there is still good advise, good topics and good people here..

I really do try encourage more people to come here.. its a great place and we have friendly competitions etc that make it fun to pop in.

May I ask which other forum did you see the link?

V8

RodneyVikens Not as much as it has been, facebook is 'easier' - but @NorioDS is slowly n surely getting us there. If you'd like a bit more real-time banter, poke Norio to add you to the whatsapp group - plenty of off-forum musical banter there.

What I do like RE:forum vs FB vs whatsapp is that conversations/posts don't get as lost in the clutter - forgotten - occasionally, but I can generally find what I'm looking for in the archives.

RodneyVikens

Tuckstir

Can you (@NorioDS ? ) please add PM option. I didn't realise there is no PM option. It think that is a big problem when you want to share something you do not want public, like personal details for trading etc.

RodneyVikens

Tuckstir

It's a private forum. You gonna have to wait a few months. Eish.... I can maybe hide within a song that you need to play backwards.

NorioDS

RodneyVikens Nope not at the moment. The software we're using doesn't have that. Someone's working on it but it might still be a few months.
