Absolutely a try-before-you-buy proposition IME. As many have mentioned, they are unlike anything else out there Many years ago I had a 4001 fretless and the way they went about making it a fretless proved to be such a distraction that I sold it less than a year later. The idea of using...

Any impromptu requests to sit in, “Just for a song or two,” by someone I don’t know, is usually met with, “Will you let me borrow your car for 15 minutes?” --------------------------------------------------- No, ask to borrow his wife --------------------------------------------------- Gotta be...

Killer Groove OTOH I haven't the slightest idea what he's really talking about My best guess would be sex :cool: Meanwhile, I'm still thinking.......

Society as a whole changed as a result of unforseen consequences of a new technology, and it isn't the first time that's happened Adapt or perish As far charity gigs, that's something I actually did exclusively for a couple of years. No paying work during that time, but there were plenty of...

My active gigging days started in the "smoke 'em if ya got 'em" days and pretty much ended well after the prohibition of tobacco smoking in most enclosed areas accessible to the public. I still smoke, myself, and managed to change with the times sufficiently to get along with most people. The...

Huarache sandals (the notoriously squeaky ones). With taps on the soles. That way I would be able to mic my feet for use as an entire percussion section. Throw in a little exotic dancing when it fits the tune and I'd be the talk of the town! :cool:

Absolutely agree with this, and would add one more thing: for quite a while Fender Japan was far ahead of Fender USA when it came to both reissues of 'classic' instruments like the early P basses and interesting variations of the usual line-up that you simply couldn't get otherwise My E-serial...

Price Drop! --- $100 shipped 1/0 gauge wire and terminals etc for an automotive project that didn't pan out. My loss is your gain - the wire alone is running over $7 per foot these days from McMaster-Carr 10' ---- Black 1/0 copper welding cable 10' ---- Red 1/0 copper welding cable 10 ----...

LOL --- Ain't that the sound of North Jersey Happy to hear that you guys are coping with the New Normal just fine, and doin' it in your signature style :cool: Can't say I've been in a GC for years now, mostly for the same reasons people always bring up in threads like these. If I come into...

All good info - Thanks!

Recently started looking for a relatively low cost multi-track recorder to be used mostly at home, but with the future possibility of recording live gigs straight off the mixing board. The board for the latter would normally be an Allen & Heath PA12 (which for most practical purposes, I'd...

Almost impossible to come up with a definition of Prog that satisfies everybody. That said, I think that there are two main elements that must be present in order to get close enough for just about anyone: 1 - Frequent use of time signatures other than 4/4 and 3/4. In other words, 'regular...

Age = too damned close to 60 :cool: I've worn a pocketwatch for about 40 years now, for a number of reasons The main reason is that I strongly dislike having jewelry of any kind attached directly to my body. That is mostly a product of working in various labor or mechanically oriented jobs...
