Being a dolphin fan* , definitely NOT a Pats fan.

*yes, they do make me

hey! i got a soft spot for Miami...if only Don Schula...

 

[Glenn Johnson]

mannaggia campagnole....

I don't speak Italian, but I THINK I know what THAT means!

 

[Glenn Johnson]

peasant(s)....

Wow, was I wrong!

 

[Glenn Johnson]

I'd image that Mr. Cheaty McCheat Face doesn't get along with many people

No, I'm not one of those people! I'm just not a Pats fan

This will illicit boos, but I have ZERO interest in football, which makes me almost like one of a kind. Hey does that mean I'm special?

Well, he makes a mean steak.

Hell, I thought it was something served with Chianti.

Donuts make your brown eyes blue?

Or maybe it's make your blue eyes brown. It depends on what the donuts sound like.

 

[Gaolee]

again with this?

10 Naturally blue foods to celebrate Percy Jackson

Of course. Does anything ever go away for good around here?

don't blame you....your teams....

More often, for many crops.

Crop rotation is good for the soil. Cue PillO.

 

[Gaolee]

That is a ridiculous amount of unused real estate

But yes, nice finish!

It needs a Bigsby.

So...I have a gig this weekend in Long Island, and while I was trying to figure out which bass to lug out there, Journey's "Stone in Love" came on here in my living room.

Now, I'm not a religious man. At all. But, I am 100% certain that there's a special, dark, miserable, violent place in hell for Ross Valory's bass tone on the Escape album. I don't know Ross, and he may be a great guy, but I do have an Ovation Magnum I and a Magnum II, and with some quick dialing-up a of tone, they both sound great. Like, really great. And NOTHING like the aural-assault that Valory came up with for that album!
And I can't blame the producer, Mike Stone, as he engineered all the early Queen albums, which all sound amazing.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. Just needed to vent Sorry.

This is a good place to vent. Any luck on the last one? We haven't forgot and are on the lookout. Not that you aren't but it's always good to have more than one hound on the case.

That's liver and fava beans.

If you decide to sell it, let me know. I may be interested. Looking at the CP and the VP myself. At the moment, leaning toward the CP.

I took it out today to A/B with the Embassy. I may really not like the looks of this bass but the tone and playability really suit me and my playing. I don’t think it will be going anywhere. The Embassy will go to start the fund for a Vintage Pro bird...

No new leads on that front. Shockingly, I had a moment this week when I thought, "Maybe I should pass this quest along to a worthy brother-in-arms"

when in HS we wanted a guitarist to join our band. he said that he would join on the condition that we cover the whole first half of that albumas requested by his girlfriend (who later ran off with the other guitarist)....needless to say that was a firm NO....don’t miss those days at all...

Only team I care about is the Yankees and, oh well. . .

Isn't it hard to rotate crops? Is that 90 degrees or 180 degrees by the way?

I dunno if that's such a great idea, but then when you consider that @godofthunder59 is on his way to owning every NR ever made, there are candidates for that around here.

Had a double win. First I saw this:

I look at dings on my instruments the same way I look at scars and such on me. It means life was lived rather than hidden from. I will take the promise of adventure over the promise of safety most any day. Hence, any number of injuries- some of which you can see. If I want a collectible, I'll put it somewhere safe. If I want a player, I'll play it. If I want the player to look pristine, it'll either get replaced or refinished as needed.

Since I can't afford collectibles (which are mostly guitars, not basses), that leaves players. I'm content that they look played. Most of my few (other than my Hagstrom guitar) don't even look as played as they are.

And I had to point out that if you have a Peavey T-series, it dings and dents whatever hits IT instead. (grin)

Second, and most cool, I got to meet Gary Fountaine and he helped me set up my Spirit and really liked my Epi Classic Pro IV 'Bird. I learned a lot about setups and stuff.
