Kramer Ferrington III. Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well, it'll be my birthday soon, and my wife's asked me what I want. Good thing that, it saves me from getting white elephants. Anyway, I decided the most useful thing I could ask for, within a certain budget, is a new FX pedal. The only problem is that what I want is not available here (it needs to be imported just for me) I can order online, of course, but the stores that stock it don't ship outside the US. So I was wondering... if I was to buy the pedal online, would somebody be nice enough to accept delivery and send it to me here in NZ? It'd need to be a forum regular, and with PayPal, so I could give them the postage money. Thanking you in antici... pation, blah, blah, blah.

Kramer Ferrington III. Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 I want an Aphex Acoustic Exciter. Hoping to get a bit more "air" in the highs on my acoustic bass. Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipclone 1 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 And they made you spell `ax` with an `e` too? that`s just cruel...

Kramer Ferrington III. Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yup. "Axe" with an "e" and "aluminium" with an "i". And "centre", "theatre" and "metre" as well... just to add confusion. And "been" and "bean" sound the same, too.

Darcy H Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 We Canadians spell "favour" with a U as well, same as "colour", and we often swap around our "er"s too...theatre, centre...

BillWelcome Home Studios Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think that most any of us would do this for you. The only thing that you have to consider is time. Shipping to you could be an issue. I'vw bought mics and books from Australia, I've shipped a guitar there, too. Sometimes it is quick, other times....

Bejeeber Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 And "been" and "bean" sound the same, too. I was wondering where those pesky Canadians got that pronunciation from! Here's a test I came up with for how to tell if someone's from Canada, not the U.S.... ask them to recite this sentence: "been out and about processing beer and pasta, mom" Most likely every word except for "and" will be pronounced in a distinctly un-american way. Or heck, just ask them to read this out loud: "z". You'll hear "zed", apprently just like the rest of the english speaking world aside from the US says it.
