Move the strap button to the neck heel (they were designed to hang that way) and if it is still a little unbalanced, consider a set of these (or similar):

TK-7567 Single Lightweight Wide Post Bass Key

Preferably in chrome. Chrome enhances tone, eliminates neck dive, and makes you a better person. It might even impart talent in rare cases.

Ya I hate finding out my food is plastic the hard way too!

Goat...shark... kinda the same in a lot of ways.

...and you're right, much quicker than the PhillO method of typing brackets and text and back slashes. I'm using an iPad or iPhone for all my entries so no keyboard to deal with in the traditional sense. I'm thinking Phill may have cut his teeth on DOS. I'm more of a Mac OS guy and always have been. Thanks for the streamlined hack. BTW - Glad to see you back in the fray.

PS - PhillO, I'm just ribbin ya, I know you have thick skin.

I'm so hurt...

Ok, first; PillO, NOT PhillO! I am not a pastry!

Second; some of us used Vi and liked tolerated it because you could do everything you needed on a minimal keyboard without taking hands away from the home row. And this from someone who was a 3 finger typist until the age of 29...

Third; real scientists don't use Mac.

Fourth; tablets are what you get at the drug store, not the computer store.

But go ahead, be like the teenagers and use a gui. And GET OFF MY LAWN!

Wait, wash what?, i meant in the making of this movie. Oh crap............

Ahem or yikes. Certainly one of the two.

 

[PillO]

Are you wearing pants?

Not if i don't have to.

JJR puts his pants on just like everyone else, but not quite as often.

Hey, I was under the understanding that pants were not required here!

I rarely wear pants at the computer. Makes for some interesting videoconferences...

 

[PillO]

Ok, that's it. New initiation ritual. Grass skirt, coconut bra optional.
New members have to try and outrun Vince on a bulldozer chasing after you.

Grass skirt and coconut bra have been out for a long time.

You were never in question.

You were never in question.

I have done some things that are questionable. Ex wife being one...

I still use vi. Every day. And you know Macs are BSD now, right?

Are you sure it's not BFD?

That would be Free BSD. You know, Berkley Systems Development. information just wants to be free man! Brought over by Jobs after the sugar-water salesman got let go...

Or BED

So another BaCH II just popped up nearby on craigslist, of the honeyburst ones with, I believe, the neck volute and a belly cut. A very good price, fair bit less than the Cherry one. Anyone have thoughts on that run of BaCHs? @godofthunder59 I believe you had @Dadagoboi 's one at some point, either of you have a comment?

Here's the story of that photo.

Paddle @PillO , paddle!

I stay in fresh water. I only have to worry about freighters laden with coal and iron ore. That and oblivious sailboats.

Picked this up in a pawn shop yesterday. It had silver sharpie along the lines on the body and around the headstock design (came off very easily). Has some chips and dents, but plays and sounds killer! I had a white Tbird years ago and never fell in love with it, so I'm hoping this one is different!

If you can pick up any functional doghouse for $200, it is a screaming deal.

Chuck, I didn’t see the original post. Get that Kay if you haven’t already!

Now those are melons!

If it's a good price you should grab it. You can always flip it if you don't like it.

My first thought ... what the FVCK is he wearing? Did him mum let him out dressed like that?
