  1. Really glad to see your reply on a post today. Hope you're making good and continued progress. Regards, Ed

  2. Actually my wife made quiche. Nice and easy to eat while working on the computer so tomorrow at work won't be so drastic. And decent coffee, but I'm only on my second pot for the day. m
  3. Nothin' fancy today... Monday and Tuesday were snacking... Wife made a pork roast... Usually on a "let down day" like today it's traditional Northern Plains beef 'n' beans, today it was roast pork and beans. Gotta go make another pot of coffee and write something about the guy who was rescued after the blizzard and shouldn't have made it. m
  4. BTW, as Rob from Oz noted, welcome to the forums!

    Minneapolis has something of a tradition of interesting pickers, so there should be a luthier-setup guy to do what you want - but it may cost as much as a campfire acoustic.

  5. Hadda suffer through a ribeye and beans - beef and beans being kinda a tradition in this part of the world. m
  6. The shark I've had access to was good, but I don't have a clue if it's similar to the critters available in Oz. m
  7. today was kinda a reversal with Thanksgiving when we had ribeye steaks etc., and today it was turkey, dressing, potatoes and gravy and corn. (Maize, I guess, for some of our Brit-English variation speaking friends.)
  8. I guess there's some differences in our own minds that count for some of us and not to others. To me the big likeness of the Epi Dot and the Gibson is not the pups, but the main construction overall and the scale. Yup, "plywood" in both cases and the same scale and bridges, body block etc. on the same shape. I guess I always figured playability first and let the amp and amp settings worry more about the "tone" than the pups or string choices. Then again I never really thought in terms of copying whether the guitar or the music itself. So functionally... the dot is a less expensive close copy of the 335. m
  9. RCT.... I'd disagree on at least some of the "lawsuit" guitars. Gibson in the '70s didn't have all that good a rep for quality. Ibanez at their higher end came in with stuff that was as good as, although slightly different, from Gibson designs and were quite clearly marked as "Ibanez." I've got one myself, and frankly wouldn't trade for a current model Gibson of the same configuration. It's that good. Were you closer, I'll wager you'd agree. I also have an excellent Eastman single pup ES175 clone from a couple of years ago that is an exceptional instrument I'd play anywhere it would be practical or appropriate, but not in the class of either a current Gibson or some of the old Ibanez offerings in the "lawsuit" era. I'd suggest that Guild also had some instruments in the '70s that were of equal or better quality than similar Gibson models. I'd not trade my old 1970s S100c "SG" type for a current similar Gibson, either, and at that point of time, the S100c was IMHO preferable to Gibson SG models. Some 40 years later she still plays as if moving to make our music as a duet rather than she as only an instrument. m
  10. Hi Milod, Hope you are feeling better. I just checked in to see how you are doing. Best regards, Dan

  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X-UAq21K5Q Lowe is an example to all of us if you figure his life and life in music. It's worth a bit of research. I got into his pickin' on an old Ruby Braff Stereocraft album a bit over 50 years ago regardless that it actually was before I left trumpet for folkie guitar. Some players simply have class that transcends style.
  12. hello Milod

    I have a Gibson Chet Atkins CEC 1998 with the problem of noise (ringing ) would have to solder the black wire coming from the piezo hex (ground) to the battery holder bracket ? or the grounding of the preamp ? spor grace if you can draw your help would be great thanks for replying

  13. well... gettin' ready for a trip across the rangeland... so this sorta thing fits... m And I did this one for a cowboy poetry and music gathering in Montana a year or so ago...
  14. only 4 on these two - take your pick of lower or higher register. I love the piece. Segovia did it indredibly well too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q-Zqz7mNjQ
