Wearing Dockers.

I love the sound of Ashdowns.

Thanks. Nah. The back killer 4x10. It’s likely to stay put most of the time. It’s only 55 lbs, but I know the shape isn’t ideal. I hemmed and hawed, 2x12 (which made the most sense) or 2x15, but finally decided to just get it. I loved how it sounded with a WD at the shop some time back when they first came out and just decided to do it. I can always add something a bit smaller if I want/need to.

Or a hand truck. Those are pretty cheap at Home Depot. Even cheaper if you get one from U-Haul.

Friday would likely be the soonest, NAMM hasn't happened yet.

I had thought Scott said there was an announcement today.

I would really like to own this Ashdown rig.

Yes, and a few used "pop" and no one I recall ever calling is "soda." That's what you took for an upset stomach.

I can't remember how people referred to soft drinks when I lived in Kentucky (Late 78 thru mid 82) but I remember regional drinks like Ski and Double Cola. Growing up in Ohio everything was "Pop" to us. I remember when Barq's only seemed available down south when we would visit family and something I always looked forward to. Now I rarely drink any soda but I do have a strange fondness for blue creme soda.

Growing up in SLC, when I was young, everything was "a Coke," around Jr High they became "a soda."

Back in 71 I was in Boston for a couple of weeks. Found a little Cafe and ordered a Soda with my Lunch. Waitress did not understand and she said they called it a Tonic. Never head that before . Milkshakes were called a Frapper.

Grammar. Who Knew.

Still no Gibson/Epi news...

There was a lame video with Gene yesterday. Some of his sentences made sense. Some of them didn’t.

Most often "coke" was what people used. I don't drink but maybe one "coke" a week if that. But I do like real creme soda. Not that horrible red junkie juice stuff that is also called creme soda. I believe Shasta Creme Soda was a light blue. Good stuff. I don't think there's such a thing any longer, not here anyway.

For a special treat, we would pour a small bag of Planters Peanuts into a bottle of RC Cola. Did other parts of the country do this? Hadn't thought of this in years. We also froze Reese's Peanut Butter Cups prior to eating them.

I think he's one of those people who love to hear the sound of his own voice as much as anything. Never was a fan. He would say he wasn't a fan of me either!

I've heard of it, but never done it. I think it was more common years ago. But we are now dating ourselves. (That can be taken in a really literal and weird way these days...)

Damn i've a lot to catch up on, been gone for way longer than i thought

however, in regards to soda, i've grown up where both soda & pop were used interchangeably (born in 94, so this must've been more early 00's for me). I enjoy cream soda (both real & junkie juice xp) however its the only soda that doesnt quench my thirst.

Probably why i stick to root beer. Not much a fan of coke/pepsi although i'll drink them once in a blue moon.

I grew up in a Coca Cola only house. It’s the way it was. And my house is still primarily Coke when it comes to soft drinks. But I’ve cut way back in recent years. Still love a nice cold one once in awhile though.

It is cool! I wasn't aware of that bass, it looks much like one of JAE's ExplorerBirds.

It's also hella expensive, over 30K. Yes, it's a historical bass and all but as for finding pictures or footage of Tom Peterson actually playing it, I doubt there's any.

Wow, and I thought that '60s Lefty NR Thunderbird of his going for about $12k was expensive.
