The Brothers, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.

I was there the next night for the last one and it was unbelievable. -
Most of these videos are from the Advanced Country Guitar video hosted by Askold Buk. It changed my life. You can get the full transcription book too, it’s amazing.

Dude! Nice work! Do you have any photos/videos of the process? -
Dope! Good for you!

Same ones who call it “flower” lol Im in the northern subs of NY and there are dispensaries every ten feet. My better half gets deliveries to the house regularly and they’re more reliable, and faster, than Uber eats or anything. And nobody works there over about 29yo so they’d probably consider all our lingo outdated. Meh. My drug days are long behind me but I still get a smile when I see an ad in the musicians CL for “ski supplies for upscale clients”… (they’re selling blow) 😂🤷🏼♂️

Isn’t there some overlap with Brütal 🤘and Architectural Brutalism? 🤷🏼♂️😆 -

Nice! Which GC location? -
Hey Gang! Im heading to Costa Rica to do a week of gigs and have not traveled internationally with a guitar in a while. Need to get a Duotone there if possible. What case do you use? Actual experiences and recs for a specific flight case or solution welcome. Tia!

I haven’t heard it and know nothing about it, but they missed a perfect opportunity to call it the Bad Cat “Cat Fight”. Everything of theirs I’ve ever plugged into sounded good to great!

Wasn’t there a micro adjustment under the locking nut? I remember being totally mesmerized by a guitar mag ad for the high end Pacifica with the Z inlays… -

Interesting! That’s a great way to get that done with chorus and reverb pedals. Could you please tell us more about the splitter? What is the design and did you do the build? Tia! -

Wow that’s great news Ernie! BTW - I’ve re-discovered a total gem of 80s Awesomeness: Dark Angel (also released as “I Come In Peace”) starring Dolph Lundgren and Brian Benben battling drug dealers from outer space. If you love 80s and SciFi and Action Cheese you’re in luck! 🤘❤️😎 -

Already own most of those on dvd and familiar with all. Great choices! What else? -
Robotic Anguinal Hernia Surgery
geoff_hartwell replied to geoff_hartwell's question in Ask the HFC Experts
Ah, fine I guess? The repair was more involved than what is deemed typical (ha) but getting there. It’s gonna be another slow week I think, but there’s a lot of improvement already and ultimately will be much much better. I think the prognosticated digestive issues, for me, were more related to the narcotic use (whoo! Been a while! 😮💨) than anything, and the fix was more humane with Metamucil rather than with Stool Softeners- I will spare the details but eeh Gads! 🤣 Okay so it LOOKS like three bayonet wounds, but really it was more accurately getting triple fisted by a robot controlled by a tiny Jewish lady surgeon - As far as I can tell that little lady surgeon was a stealth rock star! Didn’t need a catheter, no repairs necessitated including my balls, and am just down to Tylenol/Advil which I’ll be weaning off too, but will maintain the steady use of THC gummies. The incisions are the three-across with a lot of healing needed to my belly button, but I surmise that’ll be forthcoming. All suggestions for time wasters appreciated, special consideration given to Off-the-beaten-path 80s Movies! (Man, Tubi has some great stuff I forgot about!) Thank you very much for asking 😊 I really appreciate it ❤️GH- 29 replies

Hey! Duotones are the greatest lol For those who are curious, the DT was originally a flat top model with 3 circular holes instead of an F-hole that had an onboard preamp with gain and 3-band eq. Later that model was upgraded to an arched top with a traditional F-hole and upgraded Preamp/EQ. If you’re looking just for layered parts there are several good options like the EB- the import Brian Moore’s are a good value, Mike Christian made great saddles, Fishman made a great Power Bridge. Right Now there are a couple of good deals on 3-hole Duotones in 59 Burst on Reverb. The Duotone Custom, is more expensive and seems to be less common but adds an arch top and an Acoustic Preamp upgrade. I own several of both and both have killer electric AND acoustic tones included. The 3HDT sounds improved with a Fishman imaging pedal, but are very musical on their own. The biggest thing for me is to have the two channels use totally different signal paths- Acoustic side to PA, Electric side to Amp (or modeler). My most common setup these days is Acoustic out (into small pedalboard that has TC Harmony pedal, Boss OC-5, and a Boss RC20XL looper) to a channel on Mixer, and Electric side (through 2nd small pedalboard into FlyRig5 version 2) to a 2nd channel on a mixer. So I can walk in with a guitar and a backpack, be set up in 3 mins and sound awesome. If backline is provided I’ll plug the electric side into an amp, but sound guys love the No Amp Electric and Fat With No Feedback Acoustic haha. If OP has any interest I can post pics of the boards etc. My two cents of advice are buy a Duotone. Get a little screwdriver and set the gain and EQ to sane settings and start there. Use only full range PA (or PA speaker, Powered speaker, Compact Line Array, etc) for acoustic side. Use lower gain electric settings than you think you should. Keep Making Noise 🤘❤️😎
