Congrats and have a kick-A$$ show tonight! BTW, she's a beauty!!

Right!! But it's here now so with the night off I'm going to go get acquainted!!! Hope you all are as happy as I am when it does arrive! The wait is worth it.

Got a Sadowsky Metro MV-5 on the way. Texted my wife from the office about 10 times today. I'm home now and it's still not here!

I've been shopping for a new bike and I was just told this same advice by a pro friend of mine. He also said that when you are sitting on the seat and the pedal is at the top of the stroke that your leg should always end up at more than a 90 degree angle. 90 degrees or less can cause undo stress...

Mine comes from experience.

The soldered wire is no harder than the steel lock washer that comes on those terminals. IME, Yes it still crimps when tightened. IME, the wire alone did not offer enough resistance to properly collapse the lock washer before twisting and fraying, hence the need to come up with a better way...

I've built a few speaker cabs in the past couple of years and all of them have those kinds of terminals on the speakers. What I have done is strip the wire back twice as far as I normally would. Then I fold the stripped portion of the wire in half or back on itself to it's thicker, and then...

Most of the time I am wireless also. Without it, my lead singer will get tangled up in every cord on that stage at least 3 or 4 times a show! I also like to hear FOH during sound check. I played a show last summer at an outdoor ampitheater and I left the stage. I saw this little guy in the front...

Have to say, sure have! Was coming out of a gig a few years ago. Big snow storm hit while we were playing. After the show I put my bass/gig bag over my shoulder and walked down the loading ramp till I hit a patch of ice and my feet went out from under me. Landed right on the bass! I didn't even...

Using my 7 pro with two Bill Fitzmaurice Jack 1x12's, Eminence 3012ho loaded. I've never been happier and have been gas-less since!

I've had this happen to me a few times over the years. I color the wood underneath where it opened with a sharpie, in case I can't pull it tight enough to hide the seam well, and then a couple drops of super glue. It has always worked very well.

Heck yeah, throw a video link up here with that mean axe Bill!!!!

Thanks Epidrake and Ebonalley. Thinking back, it was a close one!!!

Well here is my reality from last April 16th. I actually had a night off and stayed home with my girlfriend and watched a movie. Went to bed around 11pm or so. At, what I later learned, around 1am my door bell went, "Ding......", but never donged! I woke up feeling a weird feeling about that but...

Nice work dude!
