  1. I need some advice on pickups/switches. I have a 2012 American Standard Telecaster that is my first guitar and I love it. I wanted to change things up a bit so I'm having Texas Special pickups installed. My question is, should I add a 4-way switch? I've seen it discussed on the boards but I'm too thick to figure out the advantage. I don't want too much "new" shit that I don't understand put on there just because I read it in a review. Feel free to talk me in/out of the Texas Specials as well. It's hard to tell much from youtubes, but I compared them to the Isbell pickups and preferred TS. For context, I mostly fiddle around with 8 bar blues stuff and some rock/rockabilly/country. The next purchase is likely a tweed Blues Jr, but that will have to wait until after Christmas.....unless there are some black Friday shenanigans.
  2. On the beer thing, this may get me in trouble on this site, but there are some outstanding non-alcoholic beers. I find that one with dinner scratches the itch and they are usually well under 100 calories. Karbach, Athletic, and Dechutes are all carried by HEB. This is my favorite: https://deschutesbrewery.com/products/black-butte-non-alcoholic?selling_plan=7851442486

  4. No shit. Try being a woman.
  5. Been there for the first sober holiday last year. It was illuminating. Uncle got so hammered he couldn’t get his ass off of the floor. I didn’t give a shit. You will notice a lot of drunk people. You likely won’t give a shit. They may notice and say something about you not drinking. Don’t give a shit about that shit. Merry Christmas!

    RIP Quincy Jones

    Amazing artist.
  7. Lots of kids there, from what I understand. Lazy river, etc. If you're looking to get away from that, I'd suggest the Fredricksburg thread. Lots of excellent recommendations on romantic cabins with hot tubs. Might be more what you're after for an anniversary trip unless golf is on your list. Even so, the Lady Bird course is nearby and public. We had a great anniversary dinner at Bryan's on 290 in Johnson City. Something to consider....
  8. I want that. I’ve been looking and wanted a Franklin. This looks like a much better deal. I’ve been using a WSM for years and love it, but I have to batch and freeze around the holidays because I cook for office parties and don’t have enough room to knock it out in one session. Did you set it up to work with a fire board or digi q? Probably a stupid question, but fuck it.
  9. Yeah, I didn't notice the 7 string bit. I'm a fan, but I think I'll go for his Jaguar. I think you can find those used under $2k.
  10. I’m a fan of Johnny Marr, but $5k? Thoughts? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M7JMarrNat--martin-m-7-johnny-marr-7-string-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural?mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=&mrkgbflag=&mrkgcat=&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700080478108425&lid=92700080478108425&ds_s_kwgid=58700008746021296&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=2322984097673&product_id=M7JMarrNat&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9028319&creative=705548890956&targetid=pla-2322984097673&campaignid=21455990307&awsearchcpc=1&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1Yy5BhD-ARIsAI0RbXbtZHhBxhmixgxC7NIYd80GOKnLbQABacIVyGgiyotA8LD0WdbGInQaAh66EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Hometown Hero is your friend. Most Austin shops carry it and it is sometimes cheaper than mail order at “Smoke and Chill” locations.
  13. Flea flicker!
  14. ACL 50th taping live stream.
  15. Is this a serious question?
  16. I had the same question, but felt like too much of a noob to ask. That's the only B7 I know. And I use it to play the blues with E7 and A7. Like a boss.
  17. Username checks out. It's usually in the meat section. You're welcome.

    Media Bias

    Because Bevo thinks it's real news. That's why it's in DT. We're through the looking glass here, people!
  19. Oh wow. I bet it was really grey soup.
  20. Take it to the qanon thread.
  21. If they managed to work in 'sips appropriately, I'll be impressed. I ain't interested enough to dig around in that shithole to find out.

  23. Saw her perform at Blue Rock in Wimberley earlier this year. Damn good show. She put out an EP with a group that I’ll have to google to find, but she sings lead on a cover.
  24. Hi Doc! Good to see you again.
