Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Sure. Just people seem to keep landing on the things I do know enough to split hairs about. My bro-in-law is a longshoreman, and my late father spent most of his career managing them.Are there any hairs you don't split?
I get it, and understand the difference but "lawful labor dispute" doesn't have the comic impact of "strike."
The term I generally hear is "slowdown." Of course, now that they finally have a contract, there's tons of work, so my bro-in-law has been working or going to the hall every single day.I get it, and understand the difference but "lawful labor dispute" doesn't have the comic impact of "strike."
Seriously, though, people do try to smuggle themselves in shipping containers, despite it being an incredibly terrible idea.
All I got
The Mrs and I have been making jokes all week about the longshoreman's strike and containers full of bodies.
Its mortifying but still funny. I'm broke inside.
The wire season 2
Yeah, that lawful labor dispute is royally shaging with a lot of business. I support the union workers, but it's definitely been a major hindrance for a lot of the MI and Pro Audio businesses that I deal with for work.
For sure, there was a local NPR story on its effects. This one dude ran a bike shop and made the point that a lot of small businesses are like him and don't make a a lot of orders overseas, but when they do they get everything they can at once. So he has basically all his revenue (customers orders) tied up in a container floating somewhere off the west coast.
Thankfully, it's over now, since they finally got a contract that was acceptable to them and also one the PMA would agree to. So basically now all the catch-up work begins.
Turns out Sartori is Nick Sobotka. Cool
The wire is on of the best series ever in my opinion. I have a lot of judges and lawyers on both sides of the court and it's fairly unanimous in opinion of how true to life that show is.
Traded my SVT clone (BVV3000) away today 
. Too stoopid heavy and it went to a good home (fellow TBer). I still have my 300w "Tube Works" MOSFET head if I want something more impressive than a micro head to put on top of one of my 8x10's

So I'm not super familiar with hagstrom, but a quick check of a history site shows they always use their own headstock design. Is this an LP clone that is also ripping off another name to get away with it?
I do like it, and I'm trying to decide if I should restring and clean up my acoustic or sell/trade toward an elec. guitar. I watched a bunch of whores videos yesterday (the band) and the guy uses Close to exactly the same guitar I used and miss dearly. Need another esquire with flatswounds...
