Hello everyone!

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but anyway I'll give it a go.
Hi to all ...my name is Ernie Hombergen and am from the Netherlands.I'm new to this forum so bear with me guys!
I'm 51 years old and have been into the Shads ever since I got into a band that played their music.( around 1983 I recall)
Up till then I only thought the Shads had one big known hit over here called APACHE...lol!
I got to learn otherwise and now play almost everything I can from their long list of wonderfull tunes and songs.
I also have a gigantic collection of albums,cd's,singles etc. concerning the Shads music history...great stuff!!
Furthermore I play on Vox,'63 Stratocaster,Jazzmaster,Telecaster,Ibanez Les Paul Custom and since a couple of months now I
am proud to say I own a Burns Marquee which I have upgraded with Apache pickups ( special thanks to Barry Gibson of Burns London!)
As for effects I've had a long line of equipment such as digital delays,reverbs,and so on...also owned a Meazzi echo and a Vox Long Tom.
Nowadays I gig with Watkins copicats ( I have several of them) which I modified myself to create the right echo timings I need to play
the Shadows tunes with nearly the same sound. ;)
My latest copicat is a Custom Copicat all tube echo...what a magnificent echo this is,great sound and very musical (thnx Charlie ;) )
So a little bit of me in this post and what I do musically!

Cheers,
Ernie1958
