Yup, the right Timex for the job. And good for comic relief now and again. I recall some footage from when The Beatles hit the US for the first time and some reporter asked John if Ringo was the best drummer in the world. John scoffed and said "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles!"

Holy Schnikeys Jay! I may have to send you it's four string fraternal twin for the same treatment. I bought it NOS a couple of years ago and it has only left the house 3 or 4 times. Still, that is an amazing difference. Can't wait!

Thanks to Toby for a smooth deal. It's at Murkats getting prettied up right now and I'll see it later this week. I used it's 4-string fraternal twin on a set of old-school blues, bluegrass and classic rock this weekend and it was great. Covered all the bases (pardon the pun) very well.. But I missed that extra-fat string. Oh, and I threw a bid at a Chap 12 on FleaBay this weekend but got beat out. That might be a good thing....

I've got its 4-string fraternal twin. Hmmmmm......

ya know, the prototypes upper horn isn't too gumby looking. that one would prolly look badass w/o the pickguard. are there unsighly routes under there? maybe a see thru plexi guard would help. maybe its just me, but pickguards scream "cheap guitar", and the prototype doesn't actually need one (rear routed controls, & pups mounted in rings). Like this? Funny thing - it is the very same guitar! Yup. It has had a tort and a white pearloid guard before too. I thought it looked great with the clear guard.

It's still here. I thought I had something else in line to sell, but it didn't work out, unfortunately for both of us. I've still got a like-new Fender Blacktop Strat. MIM, 9 1/2" radius, jumbo frets, 5 way switch with a couple of cool coil split (but still humbucking) spots, amp knobs, Candy Apple Red. Plays well, expert setup, it just didn't work out for the project at hand. These are $500 anyplace you go, without a setup, case, or gig bag. I'm asking tree fitty ($350) for one that has been set up, comes with a Fender gig bag, back plate, whammy bar and all the extra goodies. $350 plus actual shipping. Another $50 will get you the cool fake leopardskin case, otherwise it comes in a gig bag. Hit me through the board PM or at: tomterifficATearthlinkDOTnet

Geoff, I was just yankin' your chain a little, knowing how you loves you some Duo. All in jest, my man. .

I think I may have missed something...lol Chris, I believe that Geoff is trying to corner the market on Duotones If I had two of them, I'd offer you one. .

I just checked the date, October 2004. And I found some evidence: Some of you may not know that Greg relieves you of your wallet before you come in. He held me up in the parking lot The legendary cellar door where many a glamor shot was taken: Me embarrassing myself with the Grumpies.

Been there, got the Phantom Custom that has lately been getting passed around like a hooker on prom night. Wish I could find the time (and money) to go again. Met bunches of other HFC'ers that night at a Grumpys gig.

Are the SS42's really better than the PigPens? The SSW42's are livelier, definitely have some zing and somehow sound "faster". The PP's are a bit thicker and seem to enjoy playing with some dirt.

Schlabotniks. Period. Especially if you can find the Sutter Special #42's.

My HFC Tees have held up remarkably well as has the "logo front, headstocks back" one.

Wasn't that a Pro Jr., not a Blues Jr.? Or is the old drain bamage kicking up again?

Man, that came out fantastic! Time to start practicing your duck-walk!

Tom Terrific was a character in a serial animated story on Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid. Most Esteemed Redhead hung the appellation on me early in our relationship and it stuck. A couple of minutes after Al Gore invented teh intarwebs, I needed a handle and TomT (spelled correctly), was already taken. I misspelled Terrific with one R and two F's and, bingo. It has been my handle in most places ever since.

BTT, make a reasonable offer.

The Mesa is gone, sold locally. Sorry for the delayed update, there's been a death in the family and things are pretty nuts around here. The TT is still available.

I just weighed it. In its shoulder/carry bag it's 34 lbs, give or take a smidge.

hepkat: e-mail me, my PM's seem to be borked. tomterifficATearthlinkDOTnet

Sorry for the slow update, I had a death in the family and things are a little nuts around here. The Mesa has been sold locally. The Tiny Terror is still available. Now then, the Orange Tiny Terror. Bought it to screw around with, tried some different tubes in it, etc. It's a made in China one. It'll ship with the carry bag, original power cord, original tubes, etc. Excellent condition. $350 plus shipping & PP Thanks! Hit me at: tomterifficATearthlinkDOTnet

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion of the Sylvanias. I have a pair of them and a pair of gray glass RCA's waiting their turns in an old Princeton.

Thanks guys! And a special shout out to Jones! I'm still older than you

Happyhappy Birthdaybirthday both of ya's.

I tried to talk him into a purple bass boat metalflake Stike job, but to no avail.
