  1. A few years ago I had a guy offer me something like $100 for a digital multi-effects I listed at $500 or so.  When I said no he proceeded to message me a hundred times with all kinds of non-comparable units telling me I "had better" take his offer.  I started getting smart with him and then he started CALLING through FB.  Of course I never answered.  Then he contacted MY WIFE through her craft business page and showed her my messages, explained to her I'm crazy (joke's on him - she already knew), and told her talking to people the way I was could get me hurt.  Talk about fucking absolute RAGE.  I found his home address online and was going to go down there (it was 2 hours away) and "explain" to him that he had gone too far, but luckily rational thought told me to call the local police instead.  I did, and they paid him a visit, talking to me until they pulled up in front of his house.  Never heard from him again.

    Damn.  I got to see him live a few times and he was a checked box one year on our NAMM Sightings List.

    Great drummer.

     

    I always loved the drum part in that one, and loved watching Clem play.  Another great one gone.

    I see a space for one more.  

    It's nearly equally impressive that you have enough stands!

    I don't!  I had to borrow about 10.

    That's why I couldn't watch it.

    I thought it was just me.  If I start a video and see it's 20 or 30 minutes long, I randomly hit a few points in it to see if I'm going to sit through that.  95% of the time, it's a no.  And if I start a video and the first thing the person in it does is casually take a drink of water, I close it so fast you can practically hear the computer window slam.

  5. You may have seen my posts here about having a stroke in January 2024, battling back to being able to play again, and then having another stroke in July.  But you also may have seen also my posts looking for a korina Vector for YEARS.  I always thought the asking prices were more than I wanted to spend so I kept passing them up.  One I had been watching was reduced in price about a week after my second stroke and then while I was mulling it over got reduced again!  Twice in the span of about a week.  Stupid, overconfident me bought it thinking I would be able to play again in a few weeks like the first time, which has unfortunately not been the case.  I can  barely even form a chord since and I certainly can't PLAY anything.  At least I can say I owned one at one time and I love looking at it.

  6. I stopped by BCR twice over the years and had a great time talking to him.  I was looking forward to the next time I might have found myself up his way when he got out and started doing the repairs exclusively and then Platzer Guitars.  IIRC, he also closed his For Sale threads with "Game over." when someone bought a guitar he had posted.

  7. OK, I'll be the dissenting voice.  I hate it.  I like these when they retain the original chord changes and melodies and just change the style, but many of these (like this one) don't.  If it weren't for the lyrics no one could even guess what those songs are by listening to the music.  There's an older black guy that used to do videos where he gets into every song he hears in the grocery store and I was impressed by his taste and musical knowledge.  I liked watching him and then he started doing these "What if Metallica (or whatever band he chooses) were Yacht Rock?" videos and I absolutely can't stand them.  Again, no resemblance to the original song whatsoever except the lyrics.

  8. Asking $2800 plus actual shipping.  Also on Reverb for more to cover fees.  Looks great, sounds great, bone stock, original case, very little play time.  To make sure I had the specs exactly right, I sent the serial number to PRS and this is what they said: 2011 Custom 24, with a figured Maple 10-top, Mahogany back, Mahogany neck, with a Pattern Thin profile, East Indian Rosewood fretboard, bird inlays, PRS Tremolo bridge, 59/09 pickups, finished in Black Cherry, with nickel hardware.
