  1. 44 Greetings and Salutations from the "sunny side"! :)

  2. "Would the departed never nowhere nohow reappear? Ever he would wander, selfcompelled, to the extreme limit of his cometary orbit, beyond the fixed stars and variable suns and telescopic planets, astronomical waifs and strays, to the extreme boundary of space, passing from land to land, among peoples, amid events."

  3. I agree with the statements you made in the bridge-pin-thread, but unfortunately logic is often powerless on internet forums -- and everywhere else for that matter... :-)

  4. Take it easy, Freddy. The person in question obviously knows nothing about scholarship, so why waste time arguing? Don't forget the Zappa quote! :)

  5. When you quit, this site lost a good moderator.

    Cheers

  6. Thanks for the response to my question! You're the only person in the forum who gave me a relevant answer. Maybe the other guys are buying too many Fenders... :)

  7. Sorry to hear about your loss. I realize that nothing anyone can say will make it better, but at least she won't be suffering anymore. My heart-felt condolences to you and your family.

  8. Great choice for a forum name!

  9. I really liked the story about your grandfather. Thanks for sharing that.

  10. Hey, you asked why I think REM sold out. I didn't want to hijack the thread, but IMO the "beginning of the end" coincided with the move to the big label. Maybe it's got nothing to do with that, but the IRS years were great, and the stuff for Sony is not...

  11. Aging a guitar artificially is like getting a tattoo: Think about it, before you do it. Otherwise, you may end up regretting your decision.
  12. Your "assumption" is wrong. I have never used the product; I would never pretend to be able to assess your technical knowledge; but I don't see any reason why this device couldn't accelerate the "opening up-process" of a guitar top. Neil Young's guitar tech Larry Cragg has a secret process he uses to do exactly the same thing. On the other hand I know that this topic is heatedly debated on the forums, so I understand your assumption. I've seen people rave about the TonRite, while others ridiculed them as fools. It gets pretty ugly sometimes. I just thought your review was so professional, so well thought out and so thorough that it had to be "professional", i.e. an advertisement. If you say you're not working for TonRite, I believe you. But they should at least thank you for great press you're giving them. Sorry if I came across harsh. Thanks for the review and welcome to the forum.
  13. Interesting. I just looked at your previous posts and saw that all 8 of them are about ToneRite. You wouldn't by any chance be working for the company, would you? You're certainly doing all you can to "spread the word"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_marketing
  14. "Amazing Grace" -- John Newton Did I win???
  15. I wonder if people on the Coke Forum are discussing things like: "Gibson or Fender?" :-
  16. Thanks for the info, Robert! I see that site also works for other brands as well, which is very useful.
  17. Those are some very useful amp demonstrations, thanks for posting them! I find it especially helpful that you play the same song with the various settings: That makes it much easier for me to hear and compare the range of attainable sounds.
