This thing is dope. rct Well, the TR-8S is certainly dope, but Santa heard me bizitching that it doesn't do what I need it to do as well as others do. So he nicely took my return and brought me: It is even doperer than the TR-8S and does what I need it to do. Very nice! I shoulda went with it first. Still, no Gibsons. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an Epiphone DG-335 & perhaps the Gibson version. You guys may start building the ES-175 or perhaps ES-330 again. More Epiphone USA Made Series. Perhaps building a Chet Atkins Gibson Country Gentleman? We know in September you’ll do another Joe Bonamassa Epiphone Signature or perhaps Gibson Signature of one of his guitars….Maybe the $50K mystery guitar that was supposed to be released in 2023 is pushed to 2024..

Sequencing is a way different work flow than I am used to, I don't want to play a computer. Santa will take this back and I'll muddle on with my 20 year old drum machine until it dies and then I'll figure out something. It was two good tries though. Still, no Gibsons for me. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I got a Beat Buddy Pedal and foot switch it’s still sitting in the bloody box, haven’t even played it yet….Sometimes you just buy a lot of stuffs and it just collects dust. Oh well.

From the little that was made public, Land Rovers every year for himself, his family, and the selves and families of an unknown number of executives. College funds for his own kids and the kids of an unknown number of executives. Travel. House(s). The usual Business as Personal Bank stuff that these people do. And then had the audacity to DEMAND that the bondholders take over the company and THEN declare bankruptcy, another loser that would and will do anything to keep his own name clean while he was the only one to filthy that company up. And the multi-million "consultancy" retainer he and an unknown number of executives had to receive for several years in order for him to declare the bankruptcy. In short, what a doosch. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
