  1. I hear he is also an up and coming luthier with a new Surlycaster coming out in the not too distant future.
  2. Mines is still open if I recall. I think they extended them out after the recent wildfire.
  3. We looked at UT and UW a bit. However, both schools were larger than my son wanted. Look into it, but if I recall at UT your options to swap engineering majors were pretty limited if you decided to change. UW (assuming you are admitted into Engineering) was much more open to changing majors. Unless it is Computer Engineering-that requires direct admission. If he is a little undecided as to exactly what type of engineering he likes, UW may offer more flexibility.
  4. My kid is going to Colorado Mines next year. It has a similar male to female ratio. However, a good chunk of the boys just hang out in their rooms and play video games. If you subtract them, it becomes a pretty even 50:50 ratio. Assuming your son has even a little game, he will do just fine. He also looked at RPI and really liked it, but the location in Golden was too attractive to pass up. Has your son considered Mines?
  5. Sweetwater candy is included right?
  6. It looks like March 4 is the next Bandcamp Friday. I already ordered unfortunately. AUTF, let me know how much Bandcamp holds back and I will Venmo you the difference.
  7. I may end up asking for a Spark amp for my birthday. Keep us posted on your thoughts Butch. I like the idea of it auto pulling chords and being able to look for a certain sound like Duff G&R or whatever. That Mesa looks absolutely unbelievable. I would not even know where to start. My "tones" are Clean, a little Dirt, a little more Dirt, P bass dimed, P bass tone rolled off.
  8. I bet the scene you described is in their Pornhub browser history.
  9. Serial number checks out.
  10. Well, I hope the thief also stole the manual. That thing looks complicated.
  11. Did you have compromising pictures of the seller? Does he have a heroin habit to support? I can't even wrap my brain around that price.
  12. Here are a few options: wolf music has 15%off all Fenders right now with code fender15 https://www.wolfmusiccompany.com They have some CV strats $423.27 with the discount. https://www.wolfmusiccompany.com/products/sq-cv-70s-strat-hss-mn-blk?variant=41589471183011 Empire music has "B Stock" Fender's that are really just sale guitars that they can't list as "sale". My Noventa was perfect. It was set up extremely well including addressing any fret end issues that cheaper Fenders tend to have out of the box. If you call them and order directly from their website instead of reverb it is free shipping and no sales tax. If you order from reverb, there is sales tax. https://reverb.com/item/50090360-fender-player-stratocaster-hss-black-60396 $747.99 all in if you order direct. It's the same 15% but no sales tax like Wolf
  13. Two pages in and we still have not figured out who NowThis has morphed into?
  14. This is intriguing. I don't need 5000 downloadable settings, but the chord detection with Spotify and the ability to slow the song to learn sounds awesome. What is your experience with the accuracy of auto chord?
  15. I assume it plays fantastic, but I feel like I need a tetanus shot after looking at the photos.
  16. I could actually put that to good use. Link?
  17. That would tie the room together.
  18. That is actually really nice. Link? Seeing the Suhr amps, I kinda fear the price though
  19. Put the amps on milk crates or cinder bock and 1x8 pine board “shelving units”. Add some 80’s T&A posters like Heather Thomas around the room. When she weighs her options, some metal amp stands will seem to be a reasonable compromise.
  20. I would look stupid with the guitar, but I think i can still pull off the shirtless overalls.
  21. This is pretty much bass perfection for me.
  22. So, I really like this thing. It sounds exactly like that sound in my head of what I want to sound like if that makes sense. The cleans are really clear but not sterile or thin. When you add in some gain it sounds the right kind of dirty. I am firmly in the team P90 camp now. I love the simplicity (Volume/Tone and pickup selector). I never use a trem, so the hard tail is perfect for me. Build quality is great. The gig bag is meh. I was hoping for the Daphne blue version, but got a great deal on this Surf green. Now that I have it, the color has grown on me, its more vivd than the Daphne that was kinda washed out in person. I went in and played a few telecasters first, but this just felt and sounded right.
  23. Salvage title would make me walk away immediately. I fear you would end up in the "needs more work than it is worth" category sooner than you think again.
  24. When you only have one, it is your number one.
  25. It is an option in the settings.
