  1. On a somewhat related note, I spent a few months playing only an acoustic with 13s on her. After that 9 and 10 gauge felt like spaghetti. No problems bending them for quite awhile.
  2. Nice vector!!! I am sure the Mesa is good too.
  3. That model is great. I have a B12S (double cut shape) and it is a really great sounding bass, not overly heavy. I would put in an X2N bridge and put a decent p in the neck, get the pots and caps right, and crush small communities with that bad mutha.
  4. I really gave him a shot in the past and strongly considered buying from there but something always held me back. I would try to find and contact some satisfied customers before making any deal. Just my opinion.
  5. It will probably still be there in a few years if they don't lower the prices.
  6. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/msg/3451110868.html Nice.
  7. Caretakers of the marque? When they start making Charvels with Gibson type specs? This was their redhedded step child that they never wanted and have finally kicked out of the house. Not happy to say this either as things were lining up for me to put in a call to a Hamer dealer given their recent change of heart on CO. Fuck, indeed.
  8. Getting a matching truss rod cover???
  9. I never thought I could go for an animal print paint scheme . . . I was wrong. Hope you bring the pain and melt some faces with her. I can hear the dive bombs and squealing harmonics now . . .
  10. You could easily make a replacement guard using old one as a template though. Phantoms are intriguing.
  11. None of the music mentioned in this thread is enjoyed? There are non-musicians that dig fusion. The groove for example. "Often," not "always." I knew you meant often. Just giving you a hard time but not meant to be mean. Just kidding around. Need a smiley for that.

  13. I didn't know that about him. I have much more respect for him now. Thought he was one of those guys who never thought of anyone but himself and his next conquest. Come on, Taylor can almost sing in key and strum a guitar at the same time. I mean, how many people can do that?
  14. I've only seen one other shirtless guy playing that song on a guitar like that to a crowd of thousands do a better job. Edited to add And if it's gotten to the point that playing ability determines when, what, or how we can play I'm pretty fucked. I was referring to super rockstars and playing in front of a paying audience. If you are a super rockstar on tour, then yes, I mean you. Why doesn't your ability to play a song factor into whether you play it for an audience? Especially when you are a super rockstar. And if you are doing what appears to be a tribute performance of a song, I think it at least the main riffs should be played well with a similar tone and feel. But YMMV.
  15. Why? How do YOU do it? Don't tell me you wear a shirt! I tried it once and the audience called animal control. Didn't end well for the animal control people.
  16. He jumped the shark for me when he covered a Van Halen tune shirtless while playing a Frankenstein clone. Edited to add He did not play the tune well enough to warrant playing shirtless on a Frankenstein clone. It would be like covering a Hendrix tune on one of Jimi's old guitars wearing a Jimi style outfit but not nailing the solo. Not cool to begin with, but even less cool when you don't deliver. He does usually play well, I will give you that, but this time was pitiful.
  17. What happens when you combine two of the first electric guitar designs, P90 les paul and broadcaster? This beauty. Very nice
  18. Now I know what I want to do this month. Thanks.
  19. I must have simple tastes cause the butcher really intrigues me. Murkat or the owner of wyldbil's former sunburst murkat is refinishing should post here. That one seems to have some history.
  20. Mine actually has nothing to do with the infamous amplifier manufacturer from the U.K. I share the same middle name with an infamous strat player who was in the U.S. Army for a spell.
