Retired Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 1513613794[/url]' post='1901514']Those old Mosrite guitars do look very interesting. Have you ever tried one? There used to be a guitar shop 45 minutes from where I live which stocked some unusual vintage instruments and they had some Mosrites there. Sadly I never tried one, but wish I had now. I'd like to try a double neck one like the one Joe Maphis used. Sadly no, I've never seen one up close. I was into the Ventures big time as a teen and wish I would have bought one. When I picked up playing guitar again at 60, that's the first songs I started learning again. Walk Don't Run, Pipeline...I've found a few in good shape with dings and such and the frets half worn I could afford but the best ones they want $6 grand or more for. I might have to pull some cash from my 401-K next year and get one for 4-5 grand. Boy, wouldn't the wife like that? Might have to sleep on the couch for a month till she built a bridge and got over it. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Wilson all right, and he was fast, fast on the draw" I watch a lot of movies too. I periodically quote my favorite ones. the above quote is from one of my all time favorites. named one of my kids after the movie even. Shane, come back, come back! I love that "Vintage" movie, I have the DVD. I'm a Western movie addict. I can quote many Western script lines, especially the John Wayne movies.

One of my favorite John Wayne movies is El Dorado. I can watch that every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Johnny Ramone they were dirt cheap from what I’ve read, I think he bought his first one for $50 bucks and one of the reasons he stuck with it was because no one else played them. Now original “vintage” Mosrites go for thousands and I’ve read they aren’t particularly well made guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's many guitars I'd love to get yet but the wife thinks I have enough for some reason? Only have 6 so don't know why she thinks that? So I have the next thing instead, a vintage, modified Jaguar she got me a couple years back. I love it and get the tone I'm after with it. I can't complain and she's a great wife. I only bought 2 guitars and she bought me the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelT Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 That was the 80's. You remember the 80's? I vaguely remember the 80's. That's when we did most of our touring. Big hair and bright colors, or was that just the side effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I was born in 66 so in the early 80's I had just stared driving and then college and then the Navy. Music was a bit of a joke.

The first album that had any impact on me was "the best of air guitar album in the world...ever" which was a compilation album full of cheesy 80's rock tunes.

Well, for my era, it was early Kiss and Led Zep that got me to pick up the guitar, oh did I get smacked up side the head. We have to start somewhere.

MichaelT Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I had a real hard time with the hair bands. Touchy subject I know, just could'nt get past it. I was in a "hair band" so to speak. Of course, we didn't call it that then but we all had long hair and fairly big hair too. As in any era, there were some good bands and music and some that were just meh. The thing I liked about 80's and earlier music is that there was a lot less rap. I'd rather hear the worst hair band than the "best" rapper.

Big Bill Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 U2 Had to laugh at that one. I did dig there early stuff. SRV still lives!!! I saw him is 1986 by accident while I was in the Air Force for training in Wichita Falls Texas, A couple of buddies filled up a cooler of beer grabbed a boom box and went to the part to chill. There happened to be a band playing to a modest crowd near the end of the park. Went over and sat in the grass to have a listen and damn if if it wasn't Stevie!! Needless to say we were blown away.

MichaelT Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 You can't spell C-rap with rap. All I'm gonna say is I don't get it. A guy (or girl) rhyming to a back beat. That's a musical genera? I understand wanting to do a drive by, cause after hearing that garbage I am pissed off too. I don't consider it music either. It's certainly rhythmic and poetic. But, since I rarely listen to the words and mostly listen to music and melody, rap does nothing for me but irritate me. Music is like candy. It's all pretty good once you remove the (w)rappers.

MichaelT Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Maybe they got a notice when he got to -500 rating. Being misunderstood is one thing. Being in a bad mood or saying something not so nice is another. But, -500 rating? That takes some real doing. I'll never understand why people expend so much energy being rude or mean to others. It's either a mental issue or the person is a jerk doing it for fun. It was almost as bad as dealing with my ex-wife! I'm probably lying about that too.
