[Nocturnal]

I’ve been looking at posters for my office at work and came across this:

I’m not buying it for the $, but I had to grab a screen shot

I have spent a ton of time at "The Jar" or as we knew it then "The Mason Jar". That would have been a fun show!

Who said lovely pair?

If it taps the back of your knee at the wrong time, you could end up looking a little undignified.

The case is a Kreisler Pod, the cheapest but one offered here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

They sell a couple of bass cases: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] -- you'll need to raid your coin jar.

Yeah, the big fat violin ain't cheap. There's expensive and worse than that.

I’m on my second Gollihur bag. They are good folks to deal with. The first bag lasted about 8 years and I could have kept it going with more hockey tape

That is what mine is. They do hold up well.

Mine sits in its Mooradian gig bag, waiting for me to have some scratch to get it fixed with. Gonna be awhile... meanwhile I could use the scratch.

I'm stuck at work for another two and a half hours.........

My first one had a broken zipper and Mark sent parts for free even though it was a couple of years old.

 

[TBird1958]

Awww...

Don't make me come over!

Don't make me come over!

I'm all out of beer anyway!

... which is too bad, is hot as new bacon grease here.

What GUI is that? Do you go through an external A/D conv?
Pretty cool data

This was simply an app on my phone--nothin' fancy. Just laid my phone about a foot in front of my Ampeg V-4B AV and 212. It may mean absolutely nothing. It did show there didn't seem to be too much difference in the '64 and the VP in that respect. There is more of a difference to my ears. The '64 is bigger and more magical in a live setting by a fair amount. I actually expected to see a little more difference, but I suspect it's subtle and would mean more to someone who really knew what they were looking at and looking for.

Hmmmmm Greasy.

Used some SS strings today for the first time in years (on my VP). DM Blue Steels. More punch together with bigness than anything I've tried thus far I think. Better than the Cobalts and TI Jazz Rounds it seems. I'd still like to find something with more mid punch, but not really hi mids or clank, so I'm not sure Rotos are that answer, but not ruling it out. (I think I have some Roto Nickle plated, they don't have the same mids from what I recall.) Using both PUs seems to suck a little too much out. I find myself using the neck only (with fingers) than with the '64 or the '64 Epi Embassy. I have some GHS Precision flats when would be very thick sounding and some Fender Pure Nickles I've yet to try.

We have some pretty nice beaches in NYC.

 

[dagrev]

Nice, but way too many people for me.

 

[JJR58]

Well. Ken's beach pic got me all riled up.

 

[BklynKen]

Nice, but way too many people for me.

Probably more people on that one beach today than your entire state!
