Yup, me too. Feb, 77, in West Palm Beach, FL. Like to've blowed my mind.
Best wishes to ya, Plaidster. I think that’s a neat idea.
Gee, if I did that I’d have to be bringing out the baritone; my first musical instrument in my freshman year of college. I was terrible. It was a ruse to get to the drums my sophomore year, and it worked!
My favorite song was a Maynard Ferguson tune because it rocked.
I even looked it up on the Googler. That shows you how well-acquainted I’m am with the practice. The whole disemboweling thing is such a turn off...
Jacksonville too. Closed down the whole city. I got pulled over riding my motorcycle. Once I explained I was from NY, he let me go.
Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!!! WHY did I HAVE to go to the CME website this afternoon!!!
I heard their Ampeg RB combos had been pushed back to July. My order is with Sweetwater, so still on track for this month I think...But of course I SAW THIS!!!
Ive GASsed on and off for a VI for years.. Jack Bruce, Roy Babbington with Soft Machine, Glen Campbell’s solo on Witchta Lineman, Jack Nitzche “Lonley Surfer” you know....Somehow managed to resist the pull.
Now this- Shell Pink with matching headstock and block inlays. Can’t. Resist. Have it in a cart now. Preorder for Dec delivery.
I’ll bet it would sound killer with a set of flats going through the Rocket RB115.
I fear I may be toast on this one- I’ll keep you posted
p.s. saw it is also coming to Anderton’s across the pond as well- teamed up w/ CME on a few nice FSR run Squiers.

The ComboClub could be a source worth for an 'The ComboClub's Encyclopedia of Quirky Quotes'If I have anything even worth quoting, you have my sincere permission to quote it. Maybe we should start a Big Book of Bass Quotes from the Combo Club. Or not...I can go either way with it.
But then, this could be a task for a retired English teacher - I'm neither/nor

FWIW, it got its American pronunciation 'cos of actor Harry Carey, which rolls offa the tongue easier and has that rhyming quality to it.
While I'm at it, it's not 'carry-okee', it's 'car-uh-OK.'
Oh. One more. The nuclear power plant disaster was at 'foo-koo-o-ka', not the censored version of the first syllable.

Sorry, M. I type slowly.
You accusin' someone of a "snow-job"? GP will be back shortly...
It was a kinda odd situation. My then SO is from Milwaukee. Her dog needed to go outside, so I got up to let him out. I opened the sliding glass door, he goes out and suddenly has 'dandruff'. ??? Izzat snow?? I go get the SO. She, barely conscious, looks and says "OK, It's snowing." I say "Remember where you are."..."Oh...Yeah."
It's like delivering drinks, but you'll be delivering my sound on demand. You will be employed 24/7 and earn a percentage of the customer's generosity.
The first time I went to Sequoia/Kings Canyon N.P. it was late summer and I’d been to a cycle rally near Fresno. Post-rally I headed for the park and, while the valley below was dry, it was snowing before I reached the park gate at #,###’ elevation. Not caring that I was an experienced rider from the midwest, they wouldn’t let me in.
I thought the nucular power plant disaster was at Fukushima. So I guess I'm a complete moran.
That said, the town spelled Peabody, MA is called Pea-bud-ee. Not Pee-body.
Don’t forget Woburn a couple exits south on 128. It’s Woo-bun...and out a bit west, Worcester- Drop the terminal R for authentic pronunciation- Woo’-stah.

(I’m from that area- Salem, MA!). Go up 128 to Cape Ann and Ipswich to get THE best fried clams- J.T. Farnhams.

Mighta been. I was working from memory*. Point being fu in Japanese is foo, not fuh.
*never the best idea
Nope, ya needed chains on that bike...
Yes. There's a bit in the second Austin powers movie featuring some twins name Fuk-Me and Fuk-Yu.
Why chains when you can use rope?
