    Reverb is starting to suck.

    Reverb suspended a listing of mine the other day. It was for a guitar made in the style of a Les Paul. I did not say "Gibson", "Les" or "Paul" in the listing or description.  I stated clearly that it was an imported guitar and described it's attributes, not ONCE mentioning or implying that it was even a COPY of any guitar.  Reverb pulled it for copyright infringement. How? No headstock logo, no language suggesting it was anything other than a single cutaway electric guitar. I relisted it and it went under the radar this time and I sold it.

    Today they suspended a listing for a Gibson Mark Series pickguard. It is new, in the original packaging. I said it was new. Because it G__ D____ is new. They suspended the listing because I am not an authorized Gibson dealer and therefore can't list Gibson parts as new.

    I replied that they are starting to suck, and that I remembered when they started out as the underdog with about 200 total listings. Now they are just as bad as ebay and Facebook. 

    It's a good thing my horse trading days are behind me. I could thin my guitar herd out by about 50% and not miss anything. But when that time comes, I might just consign with Gruhn's or similar.

    I saw your listing the other day. Your name is ksdaddy there too isn't it? I saw the name and thought, "that can't be a coincidence."

    And I saw no reason at all for them saying you were infringing on any copyrights. I even thought about buying it. But I just don't need anymore guitars right now.

    I thought you did a very good job of letting all buyers know that it was not a Gibson or any type of a copy at all.

    Reverb does suck if they did that to you.

    Actually the Egyptian pyramids were built by a skilled working class and they were compensated. 

    The race bating I hear is coming from other circles trying to tie the accident to DEI .    

    That is one of many theories. Nobody knows for sure who built them, or if, or how, they were compensated. Heck, they still are not sure WHY they were even built. Only theories.

    Advice about buying a digital 8 track recorder

    I think you'll like it. I've had mine for 4-5 years and have really liked it. It has a small screen, but I can see if just fine. And I'm 62 and wear glasses.

    My first Tascam was the old 4 track, analog, cassette machine. I even had fun with that when I first got one 15 years ago. 

    It will be everything you need to make some fine recordings. When you have the final product, you can make it into a WAVE file and it is easy to put that onto a CD if you so wish. It will also be ready to upload to SoundCloud or other music host sites.  I made my first CD of songs a few years ago and was impressed with the ease of doing it. 

    Congratulations! Hope it brings you hours of enjoyment.

    I read somewhere some time ago that JP did Session work with “Them” on “Baby Please Don’t Go” & “Mystic Eyes”… 2 great Records from the 60’s! Doesn’t appear on that Link of his Session work? Anybody know? 

    I have read the same thing. I’ve seen a long list of his sessions and I remember those 2 were on the list.

    I have a Vintage Modified  Squier Telecaster that I really love. I had to change the neck because the truss rod had bottomed out and couldn’t be adjusted any more.  I found one that fit perfectly and is probably better than the original.  It has 3 pickups.  Mini Humbucker in neck position, and single coils in middle and bridge.  It has reversed controls on front.  
    The pickups sound really good. Other than the neck, and a new nut,  I’ve done nothing else to it. 
    I own 14 electric guitars.  Many cost 3-4 times more than the tele. But that is one of my favorite guitars to play.  
    I also own a MM Fender Telecaster.  
    I like the squier better.  And play it much more.  
    So see how it sounds.  You may like it just the way it is.  But whatever you do,  a Squier can be a great guitar, if you happen to find the right one.  I know. 
    Good luck in your endeavor. 😃

    Can’t help

    Fate has introduced me to Taylor Goldsmith. I have their Nothing Is Wrong album which I have enjoyed immensely so if you are a Neil Young fan I'm sure you will too. But if you already know them perhaps you can guild me to their back calalodge.   Thanks guys.

    Never heard of them. 
    But what is a calalodge??

    Can't take Dickinson seriously after he grew his hair long when he got the young(ish) girlfriend, after thirty years of short hair, or something... 

    I think I may dislike too many people for my own good, but it'd help if most people weren't so crap. 

    What does hair length have to do with singing ability??
