Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Great tapes. Would be using them still on my semi-hollowbody if there was a .100 (I don't want to cut the nut).

Haha, I should have remembered from playing the one my friend had, but it was quite a while ago and I'm old.

That's my little corner of our shared studio, where I do my personal practice. Everyone keeps dumping their stuff there. I used to have all that stuff in the front room but that all had to be moved when our housemate moved in. His electronic drum kit is to the right of that area, to the right of his drums is my rehearsal setup with my Mesa head and 2x10 cab, and to the right of all that is my husband's drum kit. It's cozy in there.
Cozy: realtor talk for 'tight'.
 
Wait......what?
Y'all mean white seersucker suits, don'tcha?
Why, no self respectin' suthenor from my native Georgia would be caught daid in shorts!
An' whut are flip flops?
That's whut a fish does jest afore ya gut 'em! ;)
Jaw-juh, maybe. But in S. Flawduh*, it's shorts, knee sox, and sandals. Flip-flops are Southern glass slippers.

* sometimes referred to as the southernmost borough of NYC.

Hmm. I never had any problems with the 105 on my Ibby. My problem was that even tho the bass is 30.5" scale, it takes medium length strings lest the silks overhang the nut on E and G. Fortunately, the seller took the open "short scale" package back and sent the "mediums".
 
The .105 that came with my tapes rode high in the nut. Noticed that a long time after I should have, and didn't feel I wanted to take the bass to Santa's Workshop. Also at play was the desire to try flats. This from a gal who said "no short scales, no flats".

Holding the line firmly at "no carrots".

Nah, I give those to the resident 'wabbits'.

Not at home at the moment, I'll hafta look and see if they ride high. I'd like to try LB's-nylon or DTF's-but can't find the medium scale strings. Always 'outta stock'.

To be read in your best Foghorn Leghorn voice:
I'd expect as much from you flatlanders.
Not a decent golf course in the entire state.
They say... I say...they say it's God's waitin' room,
but I think the line is just to buy cigarettes!

Used to laugh when the Florida crowd comes up to Augusta in the summertime, ......more oxygen tanks than a scuba divin' convention!

I freely admit the atmosphere is a bit moist, but I think pontoons on your Hoveround are overkill.


Just greenin' ya! :D
 
I hear ya. With the money we've lost over the past three business days we could have bought several nice cars.

Well, you haven't actually lost anything yet.
This pullback, due to fears of supply line interruptions, offers a great buy in opportunity.
Six months after the beer bug peters out you'll be back to square one, plus some.
If it doesn't peter out....then it won't matter much, will it? :meh:
 
Most memorable pipe organ presentation EVER

I used to watch all those old VP films back in the day. My film collector friend has the "whole set" in 35MM.

...the headstock is grafted on, which is probably cheaper to produce,,.
Alembic and Rick Turner headstocks are "grafted on", too. Scarf joints (don't try smoking them).

I have a direct to disc recording of Mr. Fox, IIRC recorded at a Cleveland cathedral...
Does it say which cathedral?

I'm just not a green guy. :)
You're well seasoned, right?
