  1. Friday night Tavern Gig. I love playing here. The room is not easy to mix, the section people play in has a cathedral ceiling which drops to an 8foot flat ceiling towards the back. I have two Bose S1s on poles left and right of me, my board is behind me. The S1s do a great job filling this room. Good night too. Room was full from the start (about 30 people). 6 to 9, home by 10! at may age, that's a winnah!
  2. !LOL! I think we should stick to *****in about the price increases and leave it there.
  3. did ya price a PRS lately? I rest my case
  4. I think that's how it should be anyway. I guess the only option is to swap them out with direct replacements and see what happens
  5. Check if are those variable ratio tim? where the base like 18:1 and the treble 20:1? Not sure if Gibby is doing that but my Kingpin comes stock with this. The idea is the treble tuners have a finer tunning capability than the bass side
  6. that thing totally ruins the look of that guitar IMO (note I explicitly said "the guitar")
  7. The headstock break at that area is one the most common repairs that are done. they need to pack them better.
  8. alright! new guitar day! Sweet! A shame about that snapped off headstock delivery. you would think from the "Factory" they'd pack em proper. one of the pluses for places like Sweetwater, they don't screw around, all guitars are double boxed Able survive almost anything a shipper can do to it.
  9. I read some those news articles! These guys got some serious balls They actually try to come off like what they are doing is totally justified and legit. talk about delusional people.. Millennials everyone owes them something right? catch em hang em
  10. Thanks Sparky The damage done by the heavy rains in that short amount of time was nothing short of remarkable - and not in a good way We were lucky that was only some water on our basement floor. Some people really got hammered.
  11. will get some in due time we had a vicious storm come thru here on Monday Basement took on some water, we faired far better than others - some lost their homes Look up Leominster Mass, Flooding - Sept 11 2023 on any search engine you'll no doubt get an eye full Basement is in disarray after water came pouring in from just about anywhere it could find a way in, 10 inches of rain in like 2 hours. it was nasty I'm in recovery mode at the moment
  12. nice Sparky!!! I have a dedicated work bench with storage too, a rolling kitchen cabinet with a fold out top and doors with storage shelfs Turns out the perfect size for working a guitar. Best thing ever!
  13. Hey Tim Nice to see ya around ! I love it! Great story too!
  14. like most of you guys I was at work, one of my coworkers had just been down at the cafeteria for coffee, stopped by to tell me "Some idiot just flew a plane into the trade center" while we were shooting the blarney, 2 minutes go by, everyone is leaving their offices, heading to the cafeteria. by the time we get there, the facilities crew had already setup more TVs and the place was packed. Everyone just watching the TVs including the entire cafeteria staff. I just looked at my buddy and said "This seems something more than some idiot in a plane" Right about then is when the second plane slammed into the second tower
  15. the best day EVER will be the day I finally work my last day.. all the rest, I guess I just try to find the blessings to be on the bright side of the ground really.
  16. Oh another murphy labs thread! Waiting for the popcorn, I'll be back..
  17. They are the top shelf for tuners in my book, hands down. I've had a few Peterson products, starting with the original VS-1 strobe tuner I picked up back in the late 90s. I have an HD clip now, It's the best of the tuners I own, (about 5 or 6) They are good with Customer support too.
  18. Pretty disappointing for a new guitar. The fretboard issue alone wouldn't work for me. That's pretty shoddy. The finish is I'm sure I'd have not been cool with that either. I think I'd have sent it back too.
  19. Just read this about 10 minutes ago.
  20. Like RCT says there's no cut and dry formular the picture above this post is probably AAA, is the one you have similar in the right lighting?
