  1. Hello Mr Fuzzy,

    Hope that you are well. Just thought I would reach out and give it another shot at seeing if you are interested in selling me back the maple topped Hamer Newport Pro that I sold to you ten years ago?

    Let me know.

    Thanks, Cam

  2. Brooks, Best Wishes and Get well soon.
  3. I like to summon the dogs with my cheesetastic 31 fret Hondo.
  4. Do not drop the dispute. Keep your money. That Wilkinson should do the trick. Sometimes manufacturers get held up for unforeseen circumstances. That is understandable, but he should ship to you as a sign of good faith and then you can pay him. (my guess is that would never happen) Paypal has a vendor policy that the seller must ship product within 7 days of purchase. MannMade did not hold up their end of the Paypal business agreement. I got hosed by WB Pickups, (14 months and still no PUPS). The king of excuses and unforeseen circumstances. All I can say about his current dilemma is "Karma is a Bitch" Paypal was useless because WB's "back order" was longer that the 45 day dispute period. A situation I have learned, where patience is not a virtue. There is no reason to do business with people who can not deliver product in a timely professional manner after taking your money. This is where credit card purchases are better when they do not actually run the charge until the item actually ships. Paypal is on my shit-list due to their inability/unwillingness too solve the WB issue because it is past their frail 45 day policy. Unscrupulous people can easily take advantage of others through paypal. Paypalsucks.com

  6. Luckily I have avoided SOS hype and problems due to heads up threads like these.
  7. Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge before sunset, Go to Grimaldi's Pizza under the bridge on the Brooklyn side. Walk back after sunset. Great views. Staten Island Ferry - Ride to SI then stay on and ride back. Nice views and FREE South Street Seaport. Food. and if your not squeamish check out the BODIES exhibit. $26 approx. Creepy and fascinating 55 Bar Thursdays - Wayne Krantz Lombardi's Pizza on Spring St. The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The fee is SUGGESTED donation. Actually you can pay whatever you like. After the Museum hang out in Central Park If you are a carnivore. Hit up a good Steakhouse. Peter Lugers is in Brooklyn. Ben and Jacks on 44th St between 2nd and 3rd ave is pretty darn good without the travel hassle and attitude.

Coney Island Sideshow Ellis Island - Immigration museum Botanical Gardens in Brooklyn. NY Transit Museum
  8. I guess because some collector got a boner because it is in the The Original Longbox packaging. Man I gave that CD away years ago. Oh alas the longbox was long gone.. I couldn't stand Vernon Reid's crappy buzzsaw guitar sound. Plus the douchetastic preachyness of "Open letter to a Landlord"
  9. I had a 75 Pacer. Weird car for sure. It had issues because it was originally designed as a front wheel drive car with a Wankel rotary engine. Unfortunately there were last minute changes to the design,. The engine was changed to a straight six and a total rear wheel drive train redesign. I wish I still had the car. Mine was in very good shape. I scored it cheaply and really only used it for one summer, because the tranny on my Monty Carlo went (the car was not worth fixing), and I needed something to get to work during summer break while living at my parents between semesters. (It was cheaper than fixing the tranny) I went to college in NYC and now live there year round, and a car is not practical. I had kept it at my Grandmothers house, for years, but when she passed away, I had no place to keep it. My parent needed their garage and it was unregistered, so I couldn't park it on the street by their house. so I had to let it go in 96. They are now becoming collectable. Weird, I couldn't give it away. Well I actually and sadly did "give it away" I called the local douchebag junkyard and they wanted to charge me to tow it away, (the battery was dead) and I literally told them to go fuck themselves if they thought I would pay them, and they could come and take it for free but there was no way in hell I would actually pay them to get it when it was worth money for parts in just the wacky glass alone. I told them if they wanted it to show at X time and take it but I would not pay them a cent. They showed up right on time even after I used "foul" language on the phone and told them what I thought of their semi organized crime, scamming operation. (There was some previous history there, but they were the only game in town) I have to say that if you folded down the back seat there was plenty of room in the back, which I utilized properly with my girlfriend. Now Back to guitars, The one guitar that I think that looked horrible, but played and felt great was a Klein electric solid body. Totally ergonomic while sitting or standing. It is an ergonomic design masterpiece. I was blown away when I played one.
  10. Yep, from what I know, the current Am Standards have two point trems (whatever that means LOL!). Those newer American Standard trems are kind of a hybrid. They have the 2 point fulcrum piviots, and the vintage style bent steel saddles like the vintage 6 screw pivot trem. I personally like the original cast AM Stand. saddles. They held the string in a groove for less sideways movement on the saddle, which you get with the vintage style bent steel saddles when you slack the strings from trem use. The things that work for me to keep a Strat in tune are: A graphtech trem nut (Lubricating graphite) or Derilin also a self lubricating plastic. Locking Tuners. Schaller should drop right in with no drilling of holes. Or Sperzel. You gave to drill a hole for the stablizer pin. Some strats already have this hole. Take off a tuner if there is 2 guide pin holes, Schaller. If there is 3 holes, the one hole in the middle will accept Sperzels. Graphtech string tree for the B&E. Sometimes I ditch the string tree altogether IF I the guitar has staggered locking tuners. I just leave the B&E slots of the nut a little deeper to keep them in place and they don't pop out of the nut. Also when setting the height of the trem baseplate make sure the 2 piviot points are set to the exact same height. The Trem knife edges should be on the exact same horizontal plane. If they are off this adds friction and the knife edge may not return to the exact same spot. Rock On!
