  1. Checkerboard all the way. And change the center coil to white.
  2. I use their EP Boost as an 'always on' pedal. It has a nice fatness to it. Simple as it gets, with a little added sugar.
  3. I think he meant font size.
  4. I need some better outlet strips than the $2 cheapies from Dollar General. I've read convincing stories from both sides of the power conditioner debate, from 'they do nothing' to 'can't live without them'. I use a Furman on my gig rig but it was already pretty quiet, so I can't say that I hear a difference. Opinions?
  5. The very first time I heard Van Halen I said, "Great band. They really need a singer, though." I loved DLR's 20-something's swagger back then. It was fun to watch. He wrote perfect lyrics for the time and the band, and was more quotable than anyone out there. We listened constantly. Given his vocal limitations, it worked amazingly well. Back then. Now it's just weird and creepy.
  6. Great band. They really need a singer, though.
  7. Cool! So.....get a bunch of cheap cases from GC and an Ebay account. Then just sit back and watch the $$$ pour in.....
  8. Jeez, kind of a dick move. I get wanting your privacy and all but it's not like you fanboi'd him or something. Is he somehow still relevant?
  9. Stumbled across this this morning. It's kind of a long watch but if it works it has long-term benefits beyond music.
  10. Great score! You can almost hear the chime.
  11. FENDER BUYS REVERB! Well OK, the company that owns most of Fender bought it. Doors should be closing any day now..... https://www.musicradar.com/music-industry/fender-will-not-get-preferential-treatment-reverb-has-been-sold-by-etsy-to-investors-in-fender-and-soundcloud-but-says-its-partnership-with-the-guitar-manufacturer-remains-unchanged
  12. 'Big Fingers' Rivers.
  13. Same size as a Special and typically pretty light - 6-7 lbs - and the electronics can be run separately. Too bad it's a goldtop. Would it be blasphemy to paint it?
  14. What kills me is the history they just dumpstered. Business decision or not, that was shortsighted, ignorant, and cruel.
  15. Crap. I thought we were gonna pool our money and buy it.
  16. Gramma Daltrey... fired Ringo Jr.... only to have Pete re-hire him the next day. Someone forgot their Metamucil. https://www.vulture.com/article/the-who-zak-starkey-drummer-fired.html
  17. ^^^What Dave said. Definitely get an estimate because UPS-packed shipping is expensive and could turn a good deal into a bad experience. The local place here (no longer in business. I wonder why....) was pricey and did not pack very well, either. At least the guy is smart enough to know his limitations and didn't half-ass it. Some guys really don't care after it's sold.
  18. Mitch, you may be surprised to learn what 'with benefits' means. Not that's there's anything wrong with that....... Anyways - congrats on the cool gear and the even cooler friends.
  19. Well that goes without saying - the free delivery sold it!
  20. Beautiful guitar, but 11 lbs? On a Custom Order?? HTF does that even happen? Did the guy ask for 'something heavier than a Les Paul' and they filled it with lead? Jeezus! I can understand it happening on a regular production model, but not on a CO. I think I know what killed the poor bastard.
