Happy Birthday, big guy! Have fun!

It's a tough loss. Our thoughts are with you.

Very nice!

Good grab, Matt. That's the only one I've seen with a Sustain Block. Checkerboard would be sweet.

Some of the family:

I got some!!

OK, I might have a footswitch for it (I found one in the junk drawer). I'll try it tomorrow when I get home.

Last bump before.........don't make me say it!.................EBAY! Well, maybe not.

Shameless 'Sunday-morning-still-wired-after-the-gig' bump....

I should mention that it's 2 channels (footswitchable, but I don't have the switch), has an effects loop, and did I say it's 'Holy Shit' loud? It is.

I just picked up this up and it's WAY more than I need for the crappy country band I'm in. Randall Colossus Paul Stanley Signature head: 300W (yes, 300!), Excellent condition - no rips, no tears, minor (and I mean MINOR) scuffs. Discontinued model (who's paying Paul now?). Solid State. W/ power cord (not pictured). Easily the LOUDEST amp I've ever used. 'Holy Shit' loud, actually. These are going for $400 + shipping on the bay. I'll ship it to your door for a meager HFC-friendly bottomfeeder price of $350. (CONUS only and Paypal if you cover the fee) ...and Thank-you for shopping at Kmart

Hair. Dammit. Used to be down to the middle of my back. Dammit. Dumb bald Dad. Dammit. Why couldn't it skip THIS generation. Dammit.

Have at 'er, boys!

I like the Boss stuff, mainly because it's way more user-friendly than the Line 6 stuff (I thought anyway). And you can tweak the shit out of them. The delays and reverbs on the Boss are killer, and 'manual mode' is worth the price of admission alone.

Check here: Blitz page Serial Steve might be able to help you with numbers. And that's a BLITZ, not an Explorer!

Welcome. Nice to see you made it. The Blitz is a great guitar and the Zebras are very cool. You can learn a lot from the guys here. Maybe even pick up a nice Hamer along the way.

I emailed the seller. I think he really didn't know what he had. It seems a buddy told him it was a 'Ted Nugent Signature Series' guitar. Being a Metallica nut, he figured it was true, since Hammett, Hetfield and Mustaine all have thier own sig series. While he might have approached the sale the wrong way, I'd have to cut him some slack. He was at least decent enough to pull the auction. I steered him this way. Maybe there'll be a Zebra Blitz up for sale here.

Go Ted

So, what's it like? Being dumber than a 'bunch of monkeys', I mean. And, of course, that's not your family. For that you'd need a dick.

41? A mere pup! Happy Birthday, Dave!

I made up some washers like Jeff R was talking about, and it works pretty well. Mine are turned to the diameter of the anchor on one end, and the other end is opened up enough so the bottom of the stud (the part that the tailpiece actually sits on) fits inside. When you tighten the studs down, it removes the play between the studs and tailpiece, and locks the tailpiece to the guitar, but keeps it high enough to clear the back of the bridge. You don't get the extra string length, but I think it works OK. I always thought the one problem with TonePros is they didn't address the slop in the threads between the stud and the anchor. This does that by allowing you to actually snug the studs down. And that's why: SUSTAIN BLOCKS RULE!!

Eruption.

I don't know how many radios I've nearly busted doing that exact thing. And Coldplay, too. I'd rather jam unsharpened pencils in my ears.

OOH! OOH!! I can play this time!! Great guit I got from Zoner. It'll be staying.

Happy Birthday, bud. I hope all is well.
