    Ear gauging- opinions?

    It'll look pretty cool now. But when you're 50 or 60...not so much. Just think, the normal drooping of your old skin mixed with big holes and stretched lobes, you may look like you're melting. :)

    Need suggestion

    I just defretted/refinished an old bass that I hadn't used in years. New pickups and some hard work gave me a great sounding fretless for a dang good price... Just a thought.

    Can anyone tell me what type of bass this is?

    Judging by the price tag and the fact that there are so many of them in the store that haven't sold...it's a piece of crap.

    Staplok button misfit

    I have the same problem with my dunlops. I was playing a show and didn't realize that the screw had backed out quite a ways. Half way through the show the screw broke and I had to play the rest of the show sitting down.

    Favorite "emotional" guitar solo

    One Blood by Terence Jay. The entire song is very emotional (especially if you've seen the movie 'Green Street Hooligans').

    What triggers your WORST panic attacks?

    I've suffered with anxiety all my life. I'd never had a panic attack until this last winter when I was driving in a particularly bad snow storm. Since then every time I drive in bad weather I feel it coming on. 2 things that have helped me: The Linden Method for anxiety and Panic Away for panic...
