^ Length x Width x Height (In inches) divided by 366 = standard 1:1 weight by volume in kilograms. x 2.23 to convert KG to LB (Sorry, my company uses Inches and kilograms)

Yeah... ~$285 to ship a small/medium 1210 cabinet coast to coast ~6 weeks ago 😳. But I can't blame UPS and the like, costs are up across the board. I work in logistics; to hire a tractor trailer say Baltimore to Atlanta (Terminal to terminal) is close to $3k (One way) and that's with a...

imo: Dude does not actually have the cash. He is using PP because it will allow him (For a fee) to get the funds to you and the costs goes on his linked credit card. Good chance it is not a scam, but very well could be. Crappy world we live in sometimes. I vote: demand cash only, anticipate...

$0.02: Pickguards are relatively cheap and easily had in a a hundred flavors, so don't rule out a model/color based on pickguard If I didn't already have multiple natural/wood bass I would have been leaning hot honey or maybe a BFR exotic... BUT MM makes a lot of really cool colors, like...

Whoa! Haven't thought of those in a while. Early/Mid 90's I got half my gear from a nice local one-man proprietor shop. Typical shopping center size. ~2/3rd of the stock was used. Anyway, he only carried a few brands of strings, one being R.Cocco and pushed them hard, even cutting the price...

Rush (+ Yoko of course and I guess Dylin and Springsteen)

- Ashtrays in cars (Even if you don't smoke, still handy) - A shop that actually fixes anything under a couple grand, even then... (Aside from the mobile phone screen replacement of course) - Neighborhood kids offering to cut your grass for $ (Or even cutting their own grass) Unicorn spotting...

Nothing, BUT when a southern lady calls me honey or something like that I melt

Likely varies from store to store, but I can attest there have seen some wicked good deals around here at GC. Best story for me was looking at Mark Bass combos. Manager grabs me a 12x1 from the upstairs storage area, out of the sealed box for me to test out. I do, but want to look a different...

sorry, noting of vale to add other than a thumbs up and shout out to the cab. 30 years later I clearly remember lusting after one at the local higher end music store (Paired with a SM400/900). [sigh] maybe I sell a few guns and get the new Ampeg VB88

And they want 20% or more than what you can find in 10 seconds on ebay or Reverb.... Pawn Shops, Flea Markets and such used to be fun, not so much now. I guess if you were like retired with tons of free time

Work trip thru Nashville airport. Once again, they have live music in the concourse. Koodos to them for making the effort... So, much more pleasant versus the hell of ATL. Above and beyond. Had about 45 minutes to spare and enjoyed a couple drafts sorting emails to this duo playing older...

Fair enough. Last year, went to the dealer for some oil and drove home with this mint 2012. Only 4,000 miles still has the new car smell. It was my retired from the Army / empty nest / mid-life crisis; self medication. Winding it out is smile inducing fun and the 5.0 "Roadrunner" at 7,000...

I'll likely be back in the "car" market ~mid 2028. Slate is front runner. 2016 Tacoma is currently my DD, but no way at current prices I would replace it with same. If I want to go fast, I'll drive my Boss302 and the dozen or so times a year I need a "Real truck" or long range car I'll rent...

Just a thought. I did 20years+ in the Infantry. HHC Mortars so LOTs of equipment, LOTs of loading/unloading; rough handling would be an understatement now add on field time, all weather conditions, bumpy roads/trucks you get the idea. Something comparable to Bass / Amp: The equipment goes...
