  1. I used to think you HAD to have it, then I bought a couple of amps that didn't have reverb and it didn't matter a bit to me or anyone I've played to.
  2. I'm selling this Epiphone for a friend and it's strung with 7's! The high E feels like a spider web.
  3. Damn, @tomteriffic, I wasn't thinking when I posted those pics of me playing your guitar. I didn't mean to devalue it. Let me know if you want me to take them down. 😆😆😆
  4. If I lived close enough and liked festivals enough, I'd go. This could literally be AC/DC and Ozzy's last shows.
  5. Well, dang. Over 200 views and no interest. Are the prices too high or the processors just not what anyone wants?
  6. Tom sold me that Beatles Special a few years ago and I played it at quite a few gigs of my Cheap Trick tribute band, always on Day Tripper and usually a few more songs. When my guitar inventory became unmanageable (which is really still is) I sold it back to him. Nice working band guitar.
  7. Line 6 M13 - with pedal and power, has some light tape residue from the the labels he made for each button. $260
  8. A close friend of mine passed about a year ago and his family has been sitting on a roomful of his old gear ever since. They recently asked me to help them sell it. I'm going to make a few posts here before going the eBay/Reverb route because 1) I want to get the family the most I can and 2) all of the sales on eBay or Reveb would be on my account, so I would be the one it's reported to on a 1099. First up are a few guitar processors. All prices are PP F&F, shipped CONUS. Please let me know if you feel my prices are out of line, or DM me if you want to make an offer. Behringer V-Amp - with power adapter, pedal, and original bag - $OLD Boss GP-10 - with pickup and power adapter - $OLD
  9. Just west of Richmond, VA. It's fescue so it starts to come back as soon as we get a few warm days and some rain, which we have had. Temps have been back down to normal for the last few days and will continue for a while. Highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s. Then one day - BLAM! It will just turn warm, we'll have the annual pollen blizzard, and the grass will start growing like crazy. I already filled my mower gas cans so I'm ready.
  10. Here's my beater: 1987 S10 with only 104,000 miles on it.
  11. I will definitely listen to it out of morbid curiosity. I just have to see what he does to "improve" any of those songs. I've forgotten which comedian said this, but to paraphrase "this album will sell like whatever the opposite of hotcakes are."
  12. When I posted the Highway to Hell video in response to Blackberry Smoke (who I just saw recently), I immediately thought of what I would post if Highway to Hell was still open to comment on and then I thought "who says I can't go twice in a row?" so here you go...
  13. I'm the exact opposite...well, on some of the bands you mentioned. All the early Maiden, Priest from Hell Bent for Leather up, and Queensryche all still sound fine to me. Never liked Crue and still don't. I actually do like some of Mick Mars' playing and I will give his solo album a shot if it ever comes out. Vince Neil is the bane of my ears' existence which might have something to do with it. That voice is nails on a chalkboard for me. And you are correct - I think Geezer could and still can play his ass off but that "all over the place" style on bass is not for me in hard rock or metal music (usually). He probably could have been a great jazzer. To think the rest of them thought he wrote the best lyrics and THAT'S what they ended up with? Yikes! I don't really care for Bill Ward's style either. Again, too all over the place for me. BTW, I f'ing LOVE Born Again so everybody can hate on me all they want for that! I'm glad at least one person kind of understood my criticisms even if we still disagree. I love having intelligent musical discussions. I realized long ago that people often revere whatever bands they first listened to when they discovered music and were developing their own taste. Ozzy-era Sabs, Hendrix, and Kiss are all bands I could not care less about but I'm sure plenty of the stuff I like is razz-worthy to many.
  14. I disagree on Black Sabbath in two ways. One, I WOULD call them the first real "metal" band and two, I don't think their material with Ozzy holds up at all; it's horribly dated IMO. Whenever I hear an Ozzy era Sabbath song on Ozzy's Boneyard on Sirius, I can't get to the radio to change the station fast enough. I know I'm in the minority with that opinion, but I never thought the music was very good and the lyrics were often terrible and had clunky phrasing. I still say the best thing they ever did was part ways. Ozzy was much better out of Sabbath, and Sabbath was much better with everybody but Ozzy. I realize for a lot of you, YMM[definitely]V.
  15. Thanks for helping me justify my stupidity.
  16. GLWTS. That's a lot to let go at one time. I wish I could make that move. I have way more stuff than I can use regularly and gravitate to certain guitars/amps pretty consistently. What usually happens to me is I finally decide to let a few things go and I pull them out to give them a play and make sure everything is in good working order and then decide to keep them.
