Ace Frehley's house goes up in flames
Turdus replied to Willie G. Moseley's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Wouldn't the insurance basically just put the house back the way it was? How would Ace benefit from that? Unless he was looking for some free home improvements. -
Can freezing cold/thawing snap a truss rod?
Turdus replied to carfish7's question in Ask the HFC Experts
Well.. after shipping a guitar UPS "Ground", and being told the headstock broke when the "Plane" hit a certain altitude... I would say anything is possible. -
Indivuduals That Sell Stuff To Music Stores
Turdus replied to elduave's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Similar to a story I witnessed in Rolls Music, where the owner offers a guy $150 on a guitar , and another dood, in the store, says "I'll give you $200"! The owner got pissed, and tossed the guy out of his store. Too funny, and quite memorable for those east coast folks that remember Rolls. -
That Petrol Emotion - Chemicrazy Had this album circa '90... totally forgot about them until doing a search for bands similar to Ned's Atomic Dustbin:

I've still never heard a note from his album, but I soon will on the Podcast, I'm sure. Ace's solo record is pretty good... very dated, yet still very cool.. "I'm in need of love" would be the cut to play, IMHO.

Best first 30 seconds of a song...?
Turdus replied to blackfbiv's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Best Zep drum ripoff with cool delay, and Stones like guitars! -
Unless you are giving away those 4 Fenders, you may be waiting a long time to get the money. I've attempted to sell a few Fender basses in the last couple years. All I will say is... "good luck"

Since you brought up Dean Guitars

Top is Czech... Bottom USA, '96 from what I recall.. S/N stamped in fingerboard. -

Awesome! Ace's original choice in axe! Here's another Rock and Roll icon playing that Ovation: -
How much of a Vernon Reid fanboi was I in college?
Turdus replied to MCChris's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Not sure what year that is, but you look like you would have fit right in, with all the other freaks, when I saw Devo circa '77. You'd have actually looked kind of tame. -
Cool... been on a Chicago kick in the last year, based on Cetera's bass playing. Good to hear UFO, and New England. There was some guy near me selling a Fender '51 P (Japanese) that he claims was used on Sound City. It was on CL for ahwile. If it reappears, I'll post the link.

Sounds like Maytheks to me. Should have just thrown an "R" in there, and been "Steve Matthers, as the Beaver."

The Artist Now Known as Dickhead
Turdus replied to Thundernotes's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Now we're onto something. Not for nothing, but that Roots dude is a fairly high profile Gibson endorser. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that was a stunt. We're hoping, but the crazing on this headstock and the chipping of the gold figure in the middle looks more like vintage aging to me. I s'pose it could have gotten surface cracks that way from the fall. The smashed white one looks very vintage. The white one posted earlier in the thread was a Gibson CS release from a few years ago. It has P90's. The 50th, just released, has mini hums with vibrato, and appears to only be -

Au contraire. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Doublecut/Epiphone/1962-Wilshire.aspx Yes, it was white (or off-white) in the catalog. I remember when Gibson did these, with the P-90s. I like the one with the mini hums, but could do without the tremelo... at least they got the knob layout correct. Always a cool looking guitar in my book.
