For me, I would go with the Head Liquidmetal. I actually use one of the earlier liquidmetal Radicals (107 inch) and really like it. But then all my racquets are older generations. My favorite is a Dunlop Maxply McEnroe (the graphite version, though I had the wood one back in the day). I...

Okay, I'll jump in... I had a K1000 like yours back in the day. Then again, just about everybody probably had one at some point. A year or so ago I got the itch to dip my toes back into "ancient technology" and picked up a Nikon 2020, extra lenses, and flash unit. Though it is one of the...

And, sadly, the North Stars themselves... (No, that team in Dallas does not count!) Growing up in the Midwest in the 60's, I was just old enough to be aware of the North Stars and Blues coming in the NHL in 67. Was a loyal, albeit distant, fan up until the move. Still have a jersey that I...

Speaking of... Not quite these prices, but my first job in High School was at McDonalds when their advertising catch phrase was "Change back from your dollar". A burger, fry, and drink for under a dollar...

Haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if any of these have been mentioned before. My real job is done from home, so I work a part time gig at an outdoor store selling firearms, just to get me out of the house. Come to find out there are several of us that really enjoy Tombstone. So on any...

For my neck of the woods (West Central Illinois), it was Acri Creature Features on WQAD-TV!

I'll see about that. I guess the way it sounds, in my ears, is like the low end is more "woolly" sounding than the upper. On the D and G strings I can get a "snappy", "chime-y" type sound. On the A, less so. On the E not much in the way of "ring-y" at all. Again, I've been playing either...

Thank you! Nice to have some confirmation of what I'm hearing. I think you describe better than I did certainly.

New club member here! Just recently picked up a 1979 model. Very clean... looks like it never got a lot of play time. One of the cooler things is that it came with all the case candy: manual, sheet from Chip Todd on adjusting necks, the carbon reply of the original warranty card, and the...

I love your posts, being a military aviation fan boy. I won't disagree completely with your take on the B17, as it suffered from all the point you mentioned, but I have one observation with respect to the point about losses in B17s. My feeling is that losses are perhaps more linked to role the...

Thanks! It play very nicely. Very thin neck. The electronics are a bit "meh", so I may update those since it's not a "collectors item" kinda bass.

Was having trouble getting the image up...

I am hoping that maybe you folks can help me identify/learn more about a bass I got recently. The person I got it from said it is a SB-JR750. I searched a bit under that name on Google, but I really never found anything. It's clearly not from the "Golden Age" (Matsumoku) based on appearance...

Forgive me if this is a stupid question... I recently got a bass that I want to replace the preamp on. It's late 80's/early 90's Aria. I'm putting an Audere Classic in it. The cavity is shielded with shielding paint, and the cover is shielded with foil. I'm going to have to use the existing...

(full disclosure: haven't read the article) I spent 20+ years in retail at the corporate level (department stores). I agree completely that GC could benefit from revamping their inventory, but I hope they don't try to go with a "one size fits all" approach. Our company wen from being 1...
