sir forseti,

i was actually avoiding to post in your thread... but just couldn't help it.  i wish no one had asked your for a list of gears... its like seeing a sports car parked in front of you and challenging that person to pop the hood.

"mediocre" i might say is an understatement. 

pero sabi nga nila... relative yan... 

in tagalog...

kamaganak... sana kamaganak ko kayo para maka audition naman ng sonus faber...hay... drool mode...

welcome to the gallery!  cheers!  and a good day ahead!

Sir favor, could you send me via email or PM the detailed pictures of the stand if you don't mind. Parang gusto ko i-DIY if it's ok with you.

TIA!
