I had 3 fb pages; one personal, one for Gildaxe, and one for TSC. One day I woke up to read I had done something (?) against their rules (but no indication of what) and there was nothing I could do about it. fb is free to be a part of, so they do as they choose and there is no way to contact them. I tried as many ways as possible including emails and hand-written letters to Menlo Park (south of SF). Nothing, zip, nada - the TSC page is still up because I had enlisted our Kirstin as a "co-administrator". So, I was 'banned' but she wasn't but I can't access it and I was the one keeping it current. I learned a bunch of whacky stuff in attempting to get to the bottom of it, including 3 other fb page posters using my name (!) - all overseas. Other than my name - they have no other info on me so I'm not concerned. That was years ago now - I don't miss it and like you do not subscribe to any of those 'social media' platforms.

I had FB once upon a time. I don't any more. No loss. No instagram or twitter or TikTok or anything else like that. I have a Linkedin account, but I don't remember the last time it was updated. It's hopelessly out of date now, and I don't see any point in doing anything with it. This is my social media along with a motorcycle forum and a SCUBA forum that I'm not active in. That's plenty enough.

He only knows work and sleep. If he's not herding cattle, he'll wear your arm out playing fetch. When you stop, he thinks his work is done for the day and hits the sack. That look was "why are you bugging me?" They are great dogs with a perfect demeanor...just give them something to do.

Yeah, I’d love one but there is no way I could keep the exercise up at the level they require. Great dogs.

4 setter last night went well, went back and forth between the P and Bird highlighting the differences in a live setting in real time (amp settings untouched) and boy, the design philosophy differences are astonishing.....what's even more interesting is they both work well...tone wise the sidewinder spanks the split coil.....the P is more compact and you can't throw it around the way you can with the lower slung Bird....neckwise the Bird shatters the P....balance wise the P shatters the Bird....better in the confined space as well as one is not as cautious about banging the neck into a light fixture or whatever.....hard to believe that with the overall length difference both feature a 34" scale...with this lineup, I basically use the P for fingerstyle and the Bird with a pick........needless a to say, looks/attention wise the Bird SHATTERS the P.....
always fun playing in (ex)military type settings where you can talk with VFWs and other vets....

I like your Bach hs better than a real late '60s T-bird. More classy.

Basvarken advised they came in both white and black in white finished basses.....dig the white outline (wondering if the late 60's black headstock on white basses had the same) bass is a joy BTW, beautiful work you managed....

Putting in some time reconfiguring the pedalboard. Still waiting on a Boss DC-2W and Future Impact to finalize the set-up. Setting it up for stereo, so instead of using a blender I have a signal path for effects and clean that then goes to a Temple Audio Sum Mod, so if I end up using 1 amp everything is still summed together. On the Grecobacker the neck goes into the tuner, then the “Broughton” Freq Futz, then it will run into one channel of the Boss DC-2W, then one channel of the Donner White Tape, the out. The effects channel goes Suncoast HD-1, FX-10, Milkbox, then Future Impact, Phase 90, loop to switch the PIG and Parachute on or off together, then Tone Driver, Jet Convolution Flanger, Trem, Volume Pedal, White Tape Delay, Talisman reverb, Secret Pre-amp, then out. I’ll add the MXR M77 too, to A/B with the Tone Driver, though I think they’re different enough to both warrant a space. I can also use my T-birds with this setup, using a splitter cable. With this set-up, I can mute the clean lows of if I want to do stuff just effected by hitting the Tuner to mute. Still trying to figure out if I can fit my Foxy Tone Box (Foxx Tone Machine) or SuperFuzz in somehow, might need to build a bigger board. I remember when the only pedal I used was the wah…

Looks good! I recently did a little reconfiguring. My needs are a lot simpler. I keep it to a Voodoo Labs Dingbat Tiny. I briefly used a Pedal Train Nano+, but I missed this board, partly because of its angle. Happy to be back. Surprised I was able to fit all this on, thanks to top jacks.

Question for you pedal pushers I have a Zoom B3n and a Pitchfork. I am going to run them into the FX loop on a Rumble 500. Which pedal should be first in the loop or does it matter? The Zoom is primarily a tuner and maybe some OD or chorus. The Pitchfork is primarily used for down tuning.
