  1. Bravo!.. I'm all for it... Great story, I think every single fallen tree around the world should be repurposed in one way or another... and depending on the cost, I'd even buy one of these πŸ‘
  2. What's more important is what size you need for YOUR amp, 14" 16" or or 19"... just take a ruler or a tape measure, tilt back your amp to where you want it and measure from the floor to the leg pivoting point... also measure the height of your amp, so you don't accidentally buy one that's too long... example, if your amp height is 17 inches high, You don't want to buy a 19 inch tilt Leg Also, if you don't want to drill into the side of your amplifier, I found this chat Amp tilt-back stand : r/functionalprint https://share.google/b2lh5S9pLYpZrILLr
  3. I've been using these for decades... easy enough to make yourself as well https://a.co/d/0gNFgI3D Also easy enough to cut a wedge to place on the bottom. or even a kickstand in the back.
  4. Yeah, that's gotta suck, especially for a small builder who has small margins πŸ˜’
  5. I've always loved Dee Snider and found him very entertaining... remember Captain Howdy in Strangeland 🀘😝🀘
  6. When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
  7. Description This listing is for one (1) proofing sample/prototype Hamer Bass fretboard made during the development of Boomerang inlays. This is from the Maudie Moore estate. Maudie lived in Kalamazoo and began working for Gibson doing inlay and engraving in the 1960's. By the 1970's, she went out on her own and still did special work for Gibson as well as many other brands, subcontracting work using her garage as a work space. Hamer contracted Maudie to make the Boomerang inlaid fretboards for guitars and basses. To start, they laid out the design and she made a series of proof fretboards that were returned with notes on adjustments that had to be made. When everything was dialed in, she made a template off the approved fretboard and filled their orders. This job started in the early 80's and the fretboard up for sale is one of the proofs. She did not have many, so I think she must have dialed it in within a couple proofs. This one only required few adjustments, and you can see in real life impressions where the revisions would be made. This is for a bass fretboard. It is ebony. I suspect the fretboard blank was pulled from her Gibson stash as it has Gibson indexing pin holes on the rear. This is incomplete, I would consider it more of a conversation/historical piece, and sold as is.

  11. Nothing is concrete... We live in a different world nowadays... plus it is quite literally the luck of the draw... it depends on which carrier you get, the day and their mood
  12. That's really cool... I'm gonna try this out on a few SD Invaders that I love the sound but been meaning to change out the Pole pieces because I just don't like the look of those giant allen screws... Thanks for sharingπŸ‘
  13. Yup me too... picked up a Direct drive Dual CS-721 for $12 at my local Goodwill... It was missing the arm counterweight but used an extra one I had laying around... cleaned it up, and works perfectly πŸ˜ƒ I've picked up some incredible vintage stereo equipment from my local thrift stores... It's amazing what people get rid of 😳
  14. Wow, some very early Scorpions. Look how young they all look 😳
