Lots of stuff that doesn't turn my crank hits this forum. Settle down...😇

I don't normally like feel good movies but I caught myself really enjoying this one. For the first half. And just when I said that to myself.......Well....

Okay, this is a long shot: . Since I tend to buy pedals not only for the sound (which „is in the fingers“ as we all know), but also for the design, I am looking for two lovepedals models: the Joker Boost the Tchula „Ace“ Both seem to be the basic version of the named pedals, the only difference is the design. Which I love. Period. Tragic thing is: I had both of them, bought them via this forum and sold them stupidly. Shame on me. But if anyone here happens to run into one of them, drop me a line please. Thanks!

Interesting. For some reason I started going in the opposite direction around ten years ago. Can't play anything smaller than about 0.87" thick at the first fret, though it's been a while since I've tested that - I sold off everything with a neck smaller than that some time back. That's another reason I started building the partscasters as most every production guitar seems to be on the order of 0.83" at the first fret. Are you dealing with hand pain, in particular? My issue is left-hand cramping when playing more involved chords - chords where my pinky and ring finger are up on the large E and A strings, for example (which, musically, is more likely an indication I need to stop spending time in the keyboard's and bass' sonic space). The maple neck on the Stretchocaster is an inch thick nut to body and I can play that one all day in comfort. The Sherwood green partscaster is just a bit thinner, but same thing, play that one all day.

No.

I sold it, of course. Still regret that.

I watch all Shane's videos because he's a real, gigging musician. He'll always add that it's his opinion, but his playing's great, his tones I think are great and the reality is if you're getting gigs with names like he is, they don't care what you use as long as it sounds good and works.

Much appreciated! I have regular Imperials in a Collings City Limits and they are lovely bright punchy pickups. I've had the high wind bridge/regular neck in another guitar and I thought the high wind was barely different. Mostly been looking at the low winds because of their use in the Collings semihollows and other instruments where the chassis is darker and doesn't need a bunch of low end from the pickup. DCR aint everything but Ive always found the "middle hot" Duncans to be overly chunky and from an era when the amps didn't necessarily provide all the gain/low end you could want. With this guitar I find Im trying to get the brightness back where the Duncans just feel cloudy in that real low mid area.

Mine is a bit more customized I guess. Korina body and neck, f holes, upgraded binding, etc....All from the factory, not aftermarket, aside from the MaryAnn/Ginger poker chip. It has the regular wind Lollar Imperials, not low wind. A great match. YMMV, of course. Of the very many Hamers I have owned, this is probably the last one I will ever let go. To extent DCR is meaningful, the Custom Custom is around 14, while the Imperials are designed to be "PAF style", at around 7.6 and 8.4, with the low winds being a bit lower. I am inclined to think the low wind might be less desirable, though they are touted as being a good match for hollow and semi hollow guitars. I have multiple guitars with the Imperials and never have been disappointed. FWIW, a more recent acquisition has the high wind in the bridge. In that guitar I think it works great, though I might add each pickups has a 3 way switch to go from series to parallel to single coil. In that case, I think the higher wind gives more versatility, as you can dial back the output.....But you most likely do not want to mess with adding holes to yours for mini-switches. 😉To be clear, this guitar does NOT have any such switching, just the regular 3 way.

Ben, I listened on headphones, the mix is fabulous. Great work capturing their work and their vibe. Seems like they can just send you guys out on tour for them if they don't want to do it.

Ernie, hit me up if you ever put it on the block. Just sayin'...

Good for you! I wasn't giving mine up.

Nice. I almost got one but found my smaller keyboard stand could stand behind my Z stand by configuring it a little differently. Maybe I stood it on it's end, I can't remember. It takes up some floor space but it works.

I’ll add a pair to the HFC count.

Kate Hudson 🥰🤪 I think she looks better than ever. Maybe because I'm getting old?? Never even knew I liked her that way. It wasn't what I thought it would be. Great performances all around. I too had a an older sister (by 8 years!) that influenced me through her music collection.

I'm in the minority here, but I absolutely hated this movie. At least the second half of it. I knew nothing about it going in and watched it with my wife on the reccomendation of a friend. We were expecting something entertaining with a good soundtrack. A movie about a Neil Diamond tribute act set in Wisconsin is going to be a fun watch, right? That's how it started, then suddenly, it turned into something completely different. I won't spoil it for others, but 🥵
