One of my VPs (the $399 burst) looks worse that that and has been fine for years. String Tension pulls the slight cracks together the way mine is. I dropped a little glue in, but it was so small I'm doubting much glue ever got into the crack. It's on both sides, this being the "worst." Hardly noticeable in person.

My white VP is the same way - it's been a not-issue for almost two years.....

Ontario, CA or Ontario, CA? :roflmao:

Ontario California is kind of a dumpy industrial suburb of LA IIRC. Ontario Canada, well, we don't speak French, so we have that going for us... :thumbsup:;)

:roflmao:….thought of adding the distinction but mistakenly gave the canadian educational system the benefit of the doubt in defining a municipality, state and/or province…..:D

Your guitarist is leaving the band?

That's an old vid, the guitarist there is Rachael, she actually retired ( from the band and working) about 10years ago - Was with Microsoft early on and saved her millions. The guitarist we replaced her with would be what I would term a victim of the pandemic, she isn't going to be able to carry in the band so I've been on the hunt and have found someone that seems to be a good fit, she's very excited to play. More when I know more, I'm really looking forward to making some music again.

The Canadian educational system is every bit as good at the US educational system. Except we know to capitalize country names (even when as adjective thingies)... ;):laugh:

I like some of the White Stipes songs, but not very many. I took my wife's cousin to a show because he needed an "adult" to take him. It was a fun show but did not convert me to a raving fan. The cousin is a total fan-boy and has been since the WS first hit the scene. I am sure he looks down his nose at some of my musical choices so its all good. @Chucky Stiletti and @BklynKen can vouch for some of my musical taste :cool:

I like some WS, some Bob and some Bruce, can't say I like all their stuff and am not a raving fan of any of them but I'd rather listen to any of them than a lot of other stuff, real drums, probably not a lot of autotune, etc. I do think "Born to Run" was and is an almost perfect song though. Seger started out in the 60's with the Bob Seger System and had a hit in 1968 with "Rambling Gambling Man".

My all time favorite group is Chicago, in all their iterations, but there's a coupla their offerings I can do without. One which was a fairly big hit: "I'm a Man".:meh:
At the other end of the spectrum, I like almost all ZZTop.
Never saw Basie, did see Ellington.

loved mine, was so proud I mean, Geddy gigged one!…. stupid things we did back then….never did I anticipate that they would become so sought after….like most everyone else, we all transitioned to SS gear…can't really recall many bass players staying with those rigs forever with exception of guys with Marshalls like Lemmy or SVTs……wonder if Wetton would have stuck with Hiwatts had he stayed at it longer…..

I sold my 2000S head for 100 bucks during the early 90's, sold my Marshall Major in 1975 for $150.00, bought another one last year for two grand which is actually cheap now.
