  1. What kinda idiot pays for porn? Here's some sunburst porn in a different flavor. Picked this up yesterday. It wasn't free, but almost.
  2. Ha, that's good.
  3. Yeah that's pretty much it. He really does seem extra nuts today though. He's totally lost it.
  4. Wow. Just wow. Y'all watching this shit?
  5. Hancock Center = Ray Pugh
  6. In case you wanna buy the Sweet Home Alabama Strat, it's listed at the ink below with other celebrity owned gear including a couple Dumbles... https://cartervintage.com/collections/celebrity-owned And to echo what others have already said, yeah JJ, that clip is really good.
  7. Isbell's comment about the guitar being played and not locked up in a vault seems like a subtle dig at Dirk Ziff. There are more pictures of this guitar at the link below, including a couple that really show the distinct red patch below the toggle switch that helped King identify it years after it was stolen. I'd never heard of "tag fade" before. Back then Gibson put a small paper tag on the toggle. Depending on how long the tag was left on, the finish faded around the tag, leaving a brighter spot underneath. Hence the name, Red Eye. https://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?132199-The-Ed-King-Burst
  8. Why you no like big headstock?
  9. You don't see those very often. That's the STRAT model from 81-83 that was the upgrade from the standard Stratocaster. Matching headstock, gold hardware, hot bridge pickup. The middle tone knob is actually a two-way rotary switch that gives you nine different pickup combinations when used with the regular five-way pickup selector. These guitars were available with C, D and U shaped necks.
  10. It varies by the model. That Deluxe 18 combo is based on the tweed deluxe 5e3. I know they make other amps that are based on Vox and Marshall circuits.
  11. Here's the right link for the Deluxe 18 combo: https://reverb.com/item/9919219-fulton-webb-deluxe-18-2005-black Fulton-Webb is the guys at Austin Vintage, Steve Fulton and Bill Webb. Bill is/was Eric Johnson's amp tech. High quality, boutique type amps.
  12. That's badass. Feels like it's been forever since I loaded gear into a practice space. I'm a lil jelly. Guitar Mill did the butterscotch refinish on my 69 Tele about 10 years ago according to the documents that came with it. They did a really nice job on the finish and plugged some screw holes in the body from a Bigsby that was added to the guitar and then later removed. I'm contemplating having it refinished yet again back to its original white, but I'm not quite there yet.
  13. Mark Jenny sells an offset Tele body. For $375, you get to pick the color and amount of relicing, if any. I've read good reviews of his work. http://www.mjtagedfinishes.com/vtm-model/ He also sells guitar bodies on Ebay. You can score one for less than the regular price in an auction, but you wouldn't get to pick the color and the VTM offset Tele bodies don't show up as often as his Strat and Tele bodies. There's a nice sunburst on Ebay right now that ends in a couple days. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312402012744
  14. Does your Tele currently have the pickup mounted to the body as opposed to the pickguard? My 69 Tele came with a non original black guard with the neck pickup mounted to the guard. I just bought a vintage style 3-ply white guard with pearloid on the back that doesn't have the screw holes on the guard by the neck pickup. In order to put the new guard on, I'll need to mount the pickup to the body.
  15. No, it was more than that. Trump posted a video of him and Melania posing for pics with Seal Team 5 in full battle gear. You can see the video on Trump's Twitter. I'm not posting the video here because doing so feels extremely irresponsible.
  16. The glass snorting incident
  17. If Trump goes golfing during the shutdown, his Secret Service guys won't be getting paid. Just read this on CNN... "The Secret Service falls under the Department of Homeland Security, which is among the nine agencies and departments whose funding will expire at midnight Friday. In contingency plans submitted to the Office of Management and Budget, the Secret Service said nearly 6,000 of its employees are considered essential, meaning they would still need to report to work in a shutdown. But until Congress and Trump approve new spending, those employees would go unpaid."
  18. I saw the recent pics earlier this week and had the same question. Yeah, this is from snorting heroin and cocaine for years. Also, a while back he accidentally snorted some glass while trying to snort some crushed up Oxycontin. That incident totally fucked up his nose and left him without a septum.
  19. Squier did make a Jaguar bass with passive pickups, but I believe it has been discontinued. I think most of the passive models came with block inlays instead of dots. They pop up on Reverb and Ebay from time to time, but I'm not seeing any at the moment. Here's a link to one that sold a while back on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/4455-fender-squier-jaguar-vintage-modified-series-bass-black-with-duncan-design-pickups
  20. If you're interested, here's a fairly detailed explanation of the recording and mixing of that song by the guys who worked on it... https://www.soundonsound.com/people/tom-elmhirst-recording-adele-rolling-deep
  21. Nice! Happy NSGD!
  22. The Squier Classic Vibes are good guitars. If you're interested in a Tele style guitar, Musicians Friend has this G&L Tribute in classy vintage white for $350: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gl-limited-edition-tribute-asat-classic-electric-guitar Musicians Friend has some really good deals in their open box section. They have that same G&L in an opened box for $307 and a G&L Bluesboy Tele for $287.
  23. I recognize that guy from the APD thread on TOS. He's the lead guitarist in a band called Criminal Mischief. I shit you negative.
  24. Today is a good day. For the past few months, I've been on a search for the right grill cloth for the 64 DR. I think the hunt is finally over. I just bought the grill cloth from a blackface Bassman cabinet on Ebay. This has been the main thing keeping me from getting a baffle made - I couldn't find the right grill cloth. I've looked at every reproduction Fender grill cloth available. I even tracked down a piece of repro cloth made by a guy who died a couple years ago because it was supposed to be the closest to the old stuff - it's close. But none of them are exactly right. Most of them have a weave pattern that is slightly wider, they're all just off in some way. If someone really wants to see what I'm talking about, I can post some pics of original and repro blackface cloth. But I'm not sure yall wanna see all that, and frankly I'm kinda tired of looking at them. This grill cloth issue has caused a lot of stress and consternation for me. I'm gonna sleep good tonight.
  25. Congrats BMF! I just watched that same video after you posted your pic a few minutes ago. That sounds great.
