But there probably is a banjo and accordion orchestra...

Just as long as they don’t mix in a trombone.

Could be worse, it could have an Acordeon. There's only 1 person that I know that can both rock and pull off the Acordeon; Weird Al Yankovic.

Curious, if these tubes really are from the 70s, how would they compare to a modern tube?

Good enough for the Boss



my uke seniors group (I’m the youngest - that’s my story anyway) thumped away on this on Sunday. It was good fun. Simple too… which I prefer

It doesn’t have a bottom plate. The pickup just sits in the cover, held in by the pressure of the foam pushing it up.
It wouldn’t take much to create a mounting plate, but I’m pretty happy with how it looks:

I really like that bass!

I actually got to play a show yesterday afternoon with the cover band. It's really a glorified dad band. My wife and I were in eastern Washington for the weekend, so we had to head home a little early. The Flamingo got out to play though the Carvin combo. It was outside, but that was still plenty. The Blue Angels were a bit of a distraction at times. Nothing like playing and all of a sudden having deafening jet noise drown everything out. Somehow, we managed to keep it together. The audience wasn't huge, but better than three adults, a kid on a bicycle, and two dogs.

Great to hear you got some live action!

Regardless of how you feel about the current system, I believe you are stuck with it unless you can get enough people and states on side for a constitutional amendment. IIRC the US Constitution guarantees the availability of trial by a jury of your peers.


Which is why the Judge's charge to the jury is so critical as is the verdict form to be filled in by the jury.

I think that once selected for the jury, the vast majority of jurors take the role seriously.

You are correct about jurors taking the role seriously. And some contact us afterwards to ask questions. It’s a system that works better than any other.

Wouldn't it be easier to just deny the court's authority over you because you are sovereign citizen and thus only subject to maritime law?



A relaxing (unplugged) weekend away and suddenly 500+ posts behind...

Even that gets a little wordy. If going the quick and easy path I'd just soil myself (front and back) as a slight bit of drool runs out one side of my mouth, and keep saying, "What?"

Glad you had a good weekend and are bad. But you've got to stop typing and keep reading.

Right on Will!

What’s the connection to X-ray tubes? I worked for Philips in the 80s working in industrial x-ray.

I’m usually looking for large post tuners that are as small/light as possible.

Yes.
Yes.
Mostly yes! Then there are some who do the best thinking they can...

It's imperfect, but a good system. Reminds me of Churchill's quote about governance:
“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
(It's lost on most educated here that we are not a democracy, or "mobocracy" as the founders called it.)

That doesn't justify the outrageous price skyrocketing imho, it's sad when companies let their greed take charge.

Throw a fancy new color or Inlay or whatever and it’s. $1400 guitar that happens to be made in the exact same place as the squires.
Not knocking squire. They’re good for what they are. My problem is a Seymour Duncan and some burled poplar veneer or whatever isn’t $1200. I’m being a little hyperbolic…but not much.

Trombone is actually pretty cool if the player has the chops.

I was thinking it would be like a modern version of my EBO, but it’s a whole different beast.
