  1. Mine arrived today, only had time to plug it in for 30 seconds to make sure it works, but got pretty good sounds with no tweaking. Will try to wring it out a little more tomorrow. Looks exactly like the one cmatthes posted, including the pink foam and rubber adhesive-backed feet.
  2. Yeah, that is weird. I'm not sure what is driving that. Their Facebook site seems pretty active and positive (https://www.facebook.com/HungryForMusic).
  3. I've given some gear to this group in the past, seems pretty legit: http://hungryformusic.com/donate-an-instrument/ Thumbs up on the PIF, another example of good peeps here at the HFC Mark B
  4. Have you tried any of the Apple means to track your devices? http://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html Not sure if the Galaxy has that too. I'd guess that the jerks who got your kid's phone looked at his GPS history, maybe found some pics of your gear and other valuables at home, and put two and two together. You could also try your cell phone provider or ISP, they might be able to discover something. Good luck! MarkB
  5. For me it is just too many things to think about, and my playing suffers (goes from sucky to really sucky.) I do somewhat better when someone else (even my 9 year old kid) is pushing the buttons and I can just play. Re the original post, I think that sounds pretty good for a first time, going direct. Maybe my ears are too used to the modern, uber-squashed sound, but I wonder if a little more compression would help make the whole mix sound more up front, if that makes any sense. That would help bring up the overall level, too, which wouldn't hurt. Regardless, a nice job!
  6. I was there once pre-kid, so it must have been about a decade ago--time flies. My credit card visited a few years later on the custom order purple sustain block Sunburst Good times! Mark B
  7. Kind of a mash-up of the last two syllables of my last name with "guit" on the front. I think one of the bass players I used to play with originally came up with it. Mark
  8. He made a guitar movie with Jimmy Page and the Edge, while we're all sitting here chatting on the interwebs...he wins. MarkB
  9. Got mine in the mail today (that was fast!) Thanks again for doing this very cool thing Mark
  10. email sent over the weekend, thanks!
  11. Nice way to join the club! Welcome to the addiction Mark B
  12. Certificate says Special FM with binding, but we all know what it really is MarkB
  13. A more modern classic! Photo and guitar courtesy of BCRGreg, in case that wasn't obvious
  14. Welcome! Love the group shot. Saving for a Standard is an excellent idea After that... Mark
  15. I only ask this as someone who has in a brain fog actually done it wrong--are you sure you turned the truss rod nut the right way? Worth double checking before doing something drastic or expensive. MarkB
  16. If he's good enough for the Muppets, he's good enough for me Mark
  17. Thin Lizzy - albums were cool, but still topped by the live stuff, I think. Still tight, but rawer. MarkB
  18. Frank, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. MarkB
  19. Here's a Hamer shredder iI have for sale in your price range: http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16175 Let me know if you need more info. MarkB
  20. I had a meeting with Kissinger the day after that aired. He was still laughing about it. I hadn't brought any Hamers along, so I didn't have a chance to get his opinion about whether I was better than Colbert, Frampton or the guy from the Decembrists, which is probably good since the only thing I can shred is cheese MarkB
  21. "Dang, it hurts to bend my wang bar like that!"
  22. More prayers coming your way, Bill.
  23. There is always the custom order route, if you can't find a double P-90 one used. Several dealers here on the board could help out. It will cost more than an off the rack Gibson, but the fit and finish will definitely be better. Gibson's non-Custom Shop QC is generally not as good, IMHO, so buying sight unseen, I'd have more confidence in the Hamer. By going the custom route, you can also specify neck carves, etc., so you can get closer to your dream guitar. Welcome and good luck either way! MarkB
