It's simple, really. It makes perfect sense if you have no sense. Your problem is you have sense. I wouldn't try to "fix" that problem you have. We already have more than our fair share of that.

How right you are. Common sense has recently become a lot less common.

Micky Dolenz and Marc Bell (ramone) are going against the "Spinal Tap" stereotype...

$20 on Ringo....

Was just telling my wife that when we get to the point that there’s only one Monkee, one Beatle, one Rolling Stone, and one Who member left they need to form a tribute band playing all their top hits and go on tour.

I’ll cover your Ringo and raise you a Frank Beard.

Been busy with the last gigs of the year and mixing and mastering the next Hair album, so haven't been around much. Been playing the Vintage Pro and Greco 4001s a lot, and increasingly thinking I might put a thunderbird pickup in the neck position of the Ric to add more low end oomph and output. And @Gaolee and @godofthunder59 guess I'll be joining the Acoustic Control ranks, picking up a 361 stack this weekend!

Greetings from California! Had to take the day off to go up to meet internet installer and a couple other service people at our new place. Having a bit of weather.

San Jacinto area? I know it was snowing down there yesterday.

So who is your TCT[1]? Wandering youtube for my work soundtrack, there were a number of great bass players showing up, but whenever I specifically wanted something, it always ended up being the same band with the same bass player. No surprise to at least one of us here, my BCT this week is Nikki, and specifically this song.

It’s ok to look and listen. But remember. She is and will always be mine.

And yes, my wife knows and understands my obsession. She knows I’m harmless.

That tone. So nice.

Beautiful pic

I think it's even closer that that, I believe the flat backs weighed about 135- 137 lbs, never weighed mine though but very close, the 410 feel like it weighs twice as much though.

My amazing Mesa Subway 410 weighs 56 pounds.

You’re braver than I am.

But everyone knows the heavier the equipment the better it sounds , mine is 72 lbs heavier.

Looks beautiful!

Thanks. Only about 90 minutes north of you.

Beautiful Marshall!

Thanks. Big storm headed next week. I think I’ll stay at sea level for it. I’m not ready to experience being snowed in.

Lots of fun memories from when I was a grade school kid and the Monkees were on TV.

RIP Mike. Always enjoyed the show when I was younger. Saw them live when they reunited in the early to mid 80's. Mike was the only holdout for the reunion.

I second that since more people die from the cold than heat. I'm concerned about Marshall. Maybe he should reconsider that location. We're not having that nasty stuff yet.

Don’t fear, I dive a SUBARU!

The place they are playing in Phoenix is not very big. It used to be the Mason Jar*** and holds a couple hundred people maybe. You should come see them here. Free place to stay if you do.

***I have played there several times but have seen a TON of fun shows there.

The Trubadour isn’t large either. If it weren’t winter, they probably could come close to filling the Greek which holds about 6,000.00.

Oh man. And I think 30F is cold.

 

[MCF]

Love the color. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a bridge like that one before.
Just something about the NR body style that looks so sexy.

Yep.

Sad. Very sad.
