Grab it and downsize something else. A 1992 Special will have a thin neck.

Can you post a photo?

He would have spent less time building the guitars if he had been running the company.

Some of my last posts are missing. No big loss.

I think stokesdead had something to do with those back plates.

Have you ever worn your jacket? Mine got completely worn out.

The price is optimistic.

George Athanasiou is the guy who will respond to inquiries at the web site.

When building my home studio 30 years ago the Akai all-in-one recorder was a consideration. Someone had one in another studio a friend and I visited. When I needed a replacement counter roller for my TASCAM reel to reel recorder I sent the old one to George at Athan Corporation in San Francisco. The part was recreated. There are NOS parts out there on eBay, but the rubber used on those old rollers can break down over the years. Sometimes you need something made fresh. George sells replacement rollers for several Akai machines, so it is possible that he may get orders from pro studios that can transfer old tapes. You could contact him and ask if he can recommend anyone.

Girls who can play. They make Babymetal irrelevant.

Dennis Dunaway Geddy Lee Geezer Butler Jeff Berlin Stanley Clarke Add Jaco and you have the list of guys who took up most of my time learning how to play bass lines.

It may have to do with publishing rights.

One of my Chaparral basses is nearly the same except it has black hardware and a rosewood fretboard with dots. The Chaparral Max had the ebony fretboard and boomers which should makes a slight difference. Mine is wonderful. So, pablo, you need to figure out a way to get this one out of Estonia.

That was so well done that it is hard to joke about it. We will, of course, but it will be hard to ignore what a good job they did.

Jerk reported.

Kev explained to us here that wrist problems forced him to quit playing. At the same time Andy Sneap got the opportunity to join Judas Priest. Hell is no more.

I think the threshold for deposits is now $3000, and if you make a lot of small deposits that total in the thousands for anything other than a regular business the IRS assumes you are trying to fly under the radar and busts you.

I have been told that before, but never by an accountant or tax lawyer. The subject came up when talking about collectibles that go up in value drastically. You paid $50 for an effect pedal that now gets $250. You are supposed to pay tax on the $200 you made 20 years later. You bought a 1963 Strat in high school that you rarely played and now want to part with it for a fair market price. What do you do?

And yet you have to hit a minimum buy-in to maintain a product line. The MAP pricing does not always make things fair, either.

Robin was always nice to me, and so easy to talk to. This is sad. Yes, Big Block Dodge should end its performances, but keep Robin's music history alive. He really was much more than a musician. He was a music historian. Check out his interviews with big time musicians.

This is how those of us in the USA really think of Canada.

The construction with metal in the body sounds interesting. Your new toy is odd, but attracting more interest just because of all the "quirks."

Stay in the 90s if those guitars are the ones that interest you. That was when the finishes changed to the glassy smooth perfection formula.

You might be a little short on Shishkov funds after selling the Firenza. 😟
