wonder if you get same results boiling flats as with rounds….
I remember doing that, they'd last one or two gigs if you were lucky, I quickly decided it was more trouble than it was worth.

Got a compilation of clips from our residency last month, lots of the Epi, plus an additional Gibson thrown in (and the 8-string monster too). It's Thunderbird Thursday, and I'm off to another load-in.

If Yer Old Enuff.I remember doing that, they'd last one or two gigs if you were lucky, I quickly decided it was more trouble than it was worth.Do you remember how much they cost back in the 70's, (IYOE)? The first person to guess what my acronym means gets a prize.
Price of being old enuff.Quick. Your prize is in the mail.![]()

Plus.
All worth it to experience Mike the Impaler.They might figure it's included with the rather pricey meals.
The soup will really depend upon what other ingredients you include in the broth...wonder if you get same results boiling flats as with rounds….
Time for a new position in the Princess Fingers Club - VP Alternate Tuning.Golly!
Time for revelation: only now did I realize what EBCF is.
Until then I thought it was some tuning.
Holy Moses!
Not a fan of TLAs (Three Letter Abbreviations)?I'm not good with them either, which is why I figured if I knew it surely everybody did!Most I have to look up. Just not hip and cool any more. I used to be cool, but lost virtually all of it somewhere along the line. I don't know where or when, but I certainly did.

lol…Rosa prolly flipped them off or sumthin…Is there some sort of "no photography" rules? They really look like - "get that camera and remove the memory card!"![]()
I should point out that I'm not the least bit 'sick of' the EBCFs. The set I just took off had been on for ~1 1/2 years and had gotten kinda. Thought I'd give the SITs a shot. They're sounding real good through my 'practice amp'(see pic). I may hafta f---* with the EQ on the gigging amp. Hopefully, I'll get over it.

My usual crystal clear pic.G’day Mike, could you remind me which SIT flats you are trialling? All I can see locally say semi flat (like my playing/singing).
(I can’t be searching for it, it’s against club policy.)
Some people's fingers apparently don't like/are allergic to Cobalt Flats. I'd be tempted to give them some flak about it, but since it includes a pic of Kylie...You know, as often as I've heard it touted here, I think I totally missed the boat on what exactly Princess Fingers™ are.
