Wow!! Glad it's gone before I had a chance to consider arniez

That is correct. However, there been innumerable instances of "IBS" being used, tongue in cheek, to announce a death... Therefore, whenever I see "IBS", I automatically assume the subject has died.

Bummer. Thanks for taking one for the team. Better luck next time.👍

Gorgeous!

This is a good album from 1979.

the newport just posted is very nice.

Someone read the glossary.

I had to leave this behind. The ebony fret board was so black it looked painted. this guitar was loved to death. The frets were completely worn out from the 8th fret up. $400 plus to shave off the nibs and re fret. The hardware was rubbed down drastically. It was definitely a $1500 players guitar. Back up for sale soon. Sorry, no pics. 🙁

They(pickups ) should be classics

I've never removed the pickups on this one. I assume they are factory original but I'll check and respond.

Vox gave me my valvetronix in 2001 (?), i even brought it along to a Chicago Hamer gathering. Still have it, still sounds great. i do have and use mostly now a quad cortex. Very satisfying through a nice set of studio monitors and or ev pdx monitors.

But it doesn't matter 'cause he's been dead for decades 🤣

I was thinking the same thing... although it's scheduled far enough out, I might just do a short road trip 🤷‍♂️

IBS=In Bad Shape. Dead=TDC=The Dying Continues. As I understand it.

Prolly more than that, lol! I know that shop. They have a cool selection of guitars/FX/vinyl. I almost got a Greco LP from them, but this was at the tail end of the pandemic, and I had to watch my funds. If they have it again next year, then I’ll definitely make plans for a working vacation and go do it up right. I have Guitar Player magazines, underground comics, vinyl, guitars and effects. If I plan it right, I might be able to actually make some real money. That said, 12-4pm doesn’t seem like a lot of time to sell stuff. 11-6pm seem a better target…

You'll probably be spending $200 in gas 😳

STOP USING "IBS" unless they're dead. Hell, I thought Rick had up and died on us.

Isn't he that "Guardian Party" dude?

Uh...

The girl and I drove over to Little Rock to see them at the White Water Tavern. Cool show! I couldn't believe how great they sounded in what was basically a cinder block corner of a dive bar. Talked to the bass player for a second afterward. They keyboard player from Uncle Acid was there, and she saw me looking over at the band and my shirt and kind of had an, "Oh no, this guy is going to talk to me" look (she's quite attractive). Nope - Coming over to talk to the bass player about Italy and Hiwatts! Tilting at windmills is bad enough, but especially when the GF is standing there. Still a lot of good music out there for $15. I genuinely don't know how the smaller bands eat these days, but I respect the hell out of them for making a go of it.

Who the hell is "Rick Neilson"?

I might have come close, but never the cigar for me. Wife and I arrived in Toronto on Wednesday before an Iron Maiden show on Saturday. Rush was playing in Detroit on Friday, and had played there a couple of days before and I saw something in my social feed about a motorcade from the arena to the airport and a private jet flying from there to YYZ, so maybe our feet and their feet were on the same airport property on the same day, but I have no doubt that they didn't leave from the same Uber zone. So we were in the same vicinity, presumably. After check-in wife and I rode up in the elevator with a chatty guy, saying something about how it's disorienting staying in a procession of hotels. Wife comes from a no-small talk culture, and I'm more reticent when not on home turf, so I responded politely but didn't really engage. Turns out we're on the same floor, and he even trails us down the hall - we're in the last room, he's next door. He observes this, and I respond "I hope you don't mind loud parties." He chuckled, said he didn't, and that was that. BUT - I spot more than one Iron Maiden t-shirt in the lobby. And the next couple of mornings we ride down in the elevator with burly-ish men with British accents, aforementioned Iron Maiden shirts and tool belts and bags with Iron Maiden laminated tour passes hanging from them, chatting among themselves about whether to walk to the jobsite and how well the IMAX setup was going. It was about this time that I checked and found that Iron Maiden was to play Toronto on Saturday night. I have zero confidence in my ability to identify any of them mixing with the muggles in the hotel lobby, etc., and besides I figured that they would be hopping over to Detroit to see Rush on Friday since they had the night off, so odds were low to spot the talent during our elevator trips. And from the pic it looks like that's what might have happened, unless they got together in Toronto.

I'm in love!
