  1. I'll bet the Dregs were good. University of Miami music school alumni, they were big in Florida for a while.
  2. Sad news, he was great. I was lucky enough to seem him twice in one week many years back.
  3. You said you have small hands. Take a look at the 60s neck Standards, that new Supreme isn't like the Supremes of yore, it's more like a Supreme Lite.
  4. A good Humble Pie write up: https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-story-of-humble-pie
  5. Catholic Girls, Jewish Princess, Lonesome Cowboy Burt, Billy The Mountain, Why Does It Hurt When I Pee - F. Zappa Heartbreak Of Psoriasis, The Loneliest Room In The World, Dozin' and Droolin', Motel Of Love - Root Boy Slim
  6. Like everyone else, sorry to hear. That's a beautiful guitar, enjoy it!
  7. I should mention I only call it the Tone Suck Device because I read an article that said it sucked the tone out and that struck me as funny. If I was in charge of Gibson I'd offer the VariTone as an option on all of the models. You think you sound bad now? Wait until you activate our patented Tone Suck Device! It makes guitars more fun to play, you can get a lot of different sounds out of them.
  8. I believe it's a 2003. Monster neck on these things, Mr. King must have had giant hands. I don't know when or if they went to mono, I never really kept up on them. I did have the first year when there was a regular and a DeLuxe. I went with the DeLuxe and it had these little flip out handles in the tuners and, I believe, diamond shaped strap buttons so it wouldn't fall off the strap so easily. I bought the red one used, I assume the case is original but I wouldn't swear to it. Pink interior with the Shroud of Gibson.
  9. Conrgratulations, that's as good as they get. Here's the old red monster, it has the same Lucille inlay:
  10. Of course it's in the plastics. It says right there on the little plastic knob: TONE. That's why Telecasters sound so metallic, they have metal knobs.
  11. Just about, $45. It turns out my schnozz juice is going to be mailed to me in about a week. This just keeps getting weirder.
  12. I hope my neighbors don't get wind of this. I'd hate to hear them through a Marshall.
  13. I want a second opinion. Okay, you're ugly, too.
  14. I guess I managed to shake them up as the ENT office called back. My antibiotic sinus rinse is being prepared at an unspecified pharmacy at an unknown location and will be ready in a couple of days. I hope I don't have to go down a dark alleyway and meet a guy next to the dumpster and tell him that Ahmad the nose guy from York sent me.
  15. If she's good looking it will give you an excuse to feel her up a bit.
  16. I had to go to an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialist for a post-C0VID sinus infection. It took a month to get in, he does the camera into the sinus cavity, shows me what's going on, he seems really good, he prescribes a treatment regimen and says come back in 2 months. I go into the patient portal, read his case notes and he embellished a bit about things that he didn't actually say or do and then he doesn't write the prescriptions! WTH?
  17. But it has a hot-stamped truss rod cover. That may be the key to it's unparalleled sustain.
  18. I see a few that I'd like but no tengo dinero. https://analogr.com/l/dweezil-zappa-artistfirst-collection/65f0a297-125a-4fc5-8e45-5c0d6fb38e86?meta_isSold=false&page=1
  19. You're getting the motorcycle leathers ready for the riding season and you start to run low on leather conditioner so you order 2 tins from Montana Leather Company. A few days later you get an email saying you've got packages coming and you see one is coming from Montana. You wonder why the hell does it seem like everything comes from Montana, I get Buck knives every so often but I don't have a knife on order...
  20. I'm in the same boat (HA!), I have no idea who or what a Cammo is.
  21. That was a good one. Thanks, I was overdue for a laugh.
  22. Congratulations and welcome back. I thought you were going to say you got that blue Firebird.
  23. They really packed that one, didn't they? It was going to Sri Lanka, it reminds me of those photos from India where a whole family is crammed onto a motorcycle. That harbor is an interesting place, I spent an afternoon there shipping a motorcycle to Norway. Mountains of John Deere equipment waiting to be exported, sports cars, all sorts of stuff.
