......unless your Bruce

Belated!

Why wasn't he warned to stay away from the brown acid like everybody else is what i want to know..........

I thought everything was worth tree-fiddy on this board???!!!!! P.S. This by far had been the most hilarious thread Ive seen in the short while Ive been here. Really makes you wonder just what makes some people tick?????

So Nice!!! and looks like its in exceptional shape. Thanks for the pics. Love lookin' at 'ole Hamers

petemfa51, when and if you have the chance, could you post a pic or two of It. I'd love to see it......

Couldn't agree with ya more seein' a '79 Sunburst is my MAIN axe. Your story is eerily similar to mine, the playin' for 30 yrs, the whole Les Paul thing etc. My whole sound in the band I'm in is based around It and I couldnt be more happier or for that matter sound any better. I honestly can finally say Ive found the "ONE"! It just has the elusive "IT" that has escaped me for the longest time. Kudos.......

I would have to say the tone that really did it for me and really made me rethink the tone I had and the tone I wanted was probably CC Deville's and those great early Poison recordings............ Seriously though, when I started playin guitar all those years ago, I was pretty naive and mostly concerned with chops/licks etc. I never really considered just how important tone was till I discovered Billy Gibbons and then it just clicked. From then on I would notice different guitarist's tones, how they got them, what equipment they used etc.

Wow!, how can you not like or at least appreciate "The Beach Boys". I mean the harmonies alone..... p.s. sorry for chiming in like that. You just dont hear that very much about someone not liking The Beach Boys. Caught me off-gaurd. Having said that, i am not a Mike Love fan either (he was and im sure will always be an unappreciative asshole). That is my point. You may not particularly like them but you can at least see and admire or appreciate what makes them a very influential band. I mean c'mon just look at the deep meanings in the songs and the message they were tryin to convey...................Cars and surfin' are bitchin' and Chicks rule! LOL!!!!

One of my faves if not my all-time was early 80's, Miles Davis w/Mike Stern on guitar on a double bill with the Pat Metheny Group on an absolutely beauful summer night outdoors when they used to have the Concerts on the Common in Boston, Ma. Wow, the memories of Miles turnin' around and yellin at Mike Stern to "play like Jimi'! LOL!!!!

Believe me I thought that was somewhat strange myself. At this point, just happy this stupid ass thing is coming to a close. He should get it today, as I type this I'm waiting for a guitar to come in off the truck and all will be well in the world.......

Actually, I was just about to take your advice and do just that when i received an email from him. He apologized, explained to me he sold his only guitar to buy this one and had a paying gig he missed because he only lived a few states over and thought he would have it. Being a musician for 30 yrs. and many paying gigs, I do understand his fustration and I feel better now that he finally "cooled his heels" Lol. Went on to say a negative would only be a lose/lose situation which is so true. Anyways, thanks for the suggestions I can tell just by reading the thread you guys have been around the block on ebay a few hundred times. I hear the horror stories on ebay and I just did not see what the deal was with this one. As risky as ebay can be I have got some seriously great deals on some seriously high quality guitars.

What you did wrong was not telling the guy to f*ck off in the first place in my opinion . Also, I don't see how the fact that you weren't paid right away should entitle you to delay paying for an item you won in another auction? As far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't bid on something if you can't pay for it as soon as the auction is completed, be it a regular auction or a buy-it-now situation, but that's just me. -Austin Actually, let me clarify. when I won the auction for the guitar I bought he had listed "payment due within 7 days", so I was well within those 7 days. I won my auction on Saturday and just happened to email him to let him know I'd be paying him Monday, figuring I'd have his payment by then. I ended up paying him Tuesday. I had 7 days from Saturday to pay him, which even If the guy didnt pay me I would have taken it out of my paycheck Thursday anyways. So I would have beem alright either way and it would have been paid for. I would never bid on an auction without being able to cover it by the due date. That would have kinda made this whole thread a mute point. I dont do that sort of stuff. I try to do things in a timely and reasonable fashion which I thought I had done with my auction and I'm getting nothing but S**T !. I mean Jeez, He got a nice guitar for a nice price, paid when he had the money,and I shipped in 3 days. But that is my question I guess out of all this. Is shipping in 3 days reasonable or does he have a reasonable gripe? Ha!, I was already thinking about that if I have to send this same kinda response to ebay if he sends in a complaint. Although I cant imagine what He'd write to ebay. What would he say "Hey this guy's a jerk, he didnt mail my guitar out till 3 days after the payment". After some of the ebay horror stories Ive heard, they'd probably think It's a joke..... Although with my luck.......

LMAO!!!

I have a question for people on this forum. I'm bringing it up here because this is the one forum I respect. O.K., here's the deal. I listed a 1 day auction on ebay, a very nice ESP traditional strat (400 series). It went up 2 Thursdays ago and under the buy it now I put the immediate payment option. O.K. A guy calls me says he really wants it but dont have the cash at the moment (he sold a few things also and was awaiting payment) he wont have it till the next day. I email him back and tell him if he's really serious I will change the whole auction and he can pay me when he gets the money the next day. So I change the auction, he clicks the buy it now (by the way it was a great price for the guitar $425, i actually paid a bit more on ebay but i took the loss cus I needed the money). He emails me Saturday tells me he doesnt have it, probably wont be till Monday. O.K. So I'll have to wait till Monday. In the meantime i bought a guitar on ebay Saturday, I used the buy it now and told the guy he would be payed Monday. Anyways the payment never comes Monday so I have to put my buyer off till i get paid. I end up getting paid on Tuesday. I thank the guy for the payment and pay for the guitar I bought. O.K, here comes the "so called problem". I listed it as a 1 day auction 2 Thursdays ago because I would be on vacation the next week and that is where I ship all my ebay stuff from so I figured it would close on Friday and i could ship it the next day and all would be well. Well the auction ended up a little different because i didnt receive the payment till Tuesday of the next week so I made a special trip into work Friday to ship the guitar out. I ended up shipping it priority so the guy would get it in bout 3 days, I then emailed him the tracking #'s He emails me today totally pissed off because I supposedly dragged my heels and took my time shipping it, shipped it when I wanted, blah blah He mails me the payment on a Tuesday, I ship the guitar out 3 days later Friday. I usually ship things out the next day but this time I was on vacation and was super busy. I did go out of my way to go into work on Friday just to ship the damn thing. I change the whole auction for this guy so he can pay me "when it's convenient for him", Ship it out 3 days after payment and I'm a friggin jerk. The funny part of the whole thing is, I paid for my guitar Tuesday when I got paid, the guy also shipped mine out Friday. So we'll both get our guitars tomorrow. I'm overjoyed, He's pissed, What am i missing????? Sheesh, You bend over for someone, ship in what i dont see as an untimely manner and I'm getting a slew of shit from this guy. Probably going to get a Negative from him. He already Threatened to send guitar back to me and ask for payment back or go to ebay or something. Jeez, Im still sitting here trying to figure out what i did wrong. I think ebay would laugh this one out of the complaint dept. Ive waited a heck of a lot longer for guitars than this. So, am I in the wrong or what. Was 3 days too long? Just what is timely shipping? Sorry for the long post, But just wanted to get some feedback..........p.s. On ebay I have 100% rating from 32 transactions, have had nothing but great transactions and even made a few friends from ebay, I'm just kinda shocked i guess. Am i missing something? Any suggestions?

For? Wikipedia says: Thela Hun Ginjeet is a single by the band King Crimson, released in 1981. Its tracks are from the album Discipline (1981). The song name is an anagram of "heat in the jungle", which is a reference to crime in the city.

Thanks for posting that one. One of my fave guitar solos of all-time is the studio version solo Belew does in Elephant Talk. Actually one of my fave Cd's now that I think of it.

Actually the Rainbow album "Down to Earth" which Graham Bonnet sang on was pretty good. Had the hits "Since you been gone" on it, also had "All night long" another good tune which Yngwie covered somewhere along the lines of the many Purple/Rainbow tunes he's covered. Oh, and he definately did NOT sing on "Perfect Strangers". That is unmistakably vintage/classic Ian Gillian, arguably the best if not one of the best "metal" vocalists ever. Nobody can scream those high notes quite like Gillian (just my opinion) listening to him hit those notes on "Child in Time" always floored me. I remember back in the 80's when they reformed I saw them 3 nights in a row and they just kicked ass. Gillian and Blackmore were just amazing for that short amount of time. They always had a volatile relationship unfortunately and seemed they could/would only go for a certain amount of time before it fell apart eventually.

I love Sly & the Family Stone. Everytime I watch there clips/videos though, I cant help but think there sure as hell would not be a Prince if it weren't for Sly. I mean the influence Sly had on Prince is just immeasurable! right down to the clothes. Although I will give Prince kudos for not being influenced by Sly's immense drug habit which pretty much brought him and his career right in the crapper. So sad that drugs have taken so many of the greats or at least they're talent, whether there dead or the living dead. Having said that, Ive also had my battles with said "mood enhancers".........

I F'n hate GC. Seems like your IQ level drops a few points when you walk into a GC and you look and listen to whats goin on around you......

WOW! No picture could make that one look crappy. That is a beauty......

I always crack up at these underrated threads. People always insist on putting guitar monsters that are actually highly rated in there for some reason. I noticed Brian May, Nuno Bettencourt to name a few. they are held in pretty high esteem if you ask me. Anyways a few guys i think might be in the underrated category and it's only my opinion. I'd say Johnny Marr is pretty under-rated, I have to agree with Pirate Flynn about Todd Rundgren (hugely Under-rated) Todd can shred with the best of 'em and plays with lotsa soul. Paul Kossoff and James Honeyman-Scott are a few others off the top of my head........

God I love looking at Hamer porn. Makes one proud to be a Hamer owner.......

Damn, This thread scares me. After readin' thru this I'm afraid to touch my guitars now!...... I usually just pick up a guitar, if I love the way it sounds and plays.....I buy it. Course after goin thru every make, model, brand, and type known to mankind Ive settled on "Thee Hameth" as my guitar of choice. Only took me 30 yrs to realize. Better late than never.........
