  1. Looks like a kitchen countertop.
  2. I kinda feel that way about my new Rick Bass. Part of me thinks the natural, satin walnut is the most awesome finish they offer, the other part thinks I should have bought the white, glossy one. The Rick Bass makes its public debut Sunday afternoon at an outdoor, matinee show.

  4. That's why I wear these when we practice. They work great dampening loudness while letting high frequencies through. When we play live i usually keep one in the ear thats close to an amp, or not at all if the room is big enough for the sound to breath. My older friend who i often play guitar and attend shows with developed tinnitus a few years ago. As a music person, its you're worst nightmare. In The Koffs we practice in a tiny room at levels way above where they need to be. I have to wear full on earplugs to not go home with my ears ringing. Our guitar player refuses to put anything in. I think he takes the the same kind of pride in it as the guys who eat super hot peppers. At least all those guys have to worry about is a sore asshole the next day.
  5. A friend of mine has a Fillmore Poster in his place from attending a few of those shows that makes me jealous every time I visit. That was over 15 years before I moved to SF, or saw a single show there.

  8. A good Luther can probably fix that for a lot less that you'de think.
  9. Just checked, they still don't make a spruce topped 000-15. Whew! That woulda been an unplanned expense after buying the Rick Bass and 5150iii amp. I'm going to be selling my Martin D-18 pretty soon while we're on the subject. Just an FYI.
  10. I them recently at a smaller venue and they were great, but unless something has changed, Mike is the only Heartbreaker in the band. I am taking a pass on seeing them again this tour when they return and play the Fillmore.

  14. Nice after the strikeout yesterday. Wordle 455 2/6* [emoji834][emoji834]🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. Its not a good feeling. I usually try to have guitars shipped to someplace where I know somebody will be home since. I just shipped 2 guitars that I sold in guitar boxes. UPS made me require a signature for delivery since I declared the value of each at over a grand.
  16. I've experienced that a few times. The worst in when the box has never been opened, they just forwarded it from the factory without even giving it a quick inspection. Ive returned a few that could've been avoided had somebody at the retailer just looked at it.

  19. You should. There are a lot of good tones down there and its a good way to be less loud without being less loud. There's a reason people a so esoteric on tone caps, and tone caps don't even come into play until the tone knob hits 8.
  20. Personally I like having both Volume and Tone. They come in handy. Especially tone.
  21. As would Keith Richards, Angus Young, and quite a list of guys actually. The blues is where it all comes from. All of it.
  22. I keep a different strap on each guitar. Most are cheap, nylon weave, but I do have decent leather straps on the P-Bass, Orange Gretsch, SG, and of course the Les Paul Signature Les Paul. I'm not happy with the strap I bought for the Rickenbass. It was a cheap wide one, but the Rick's a little neck heavy and I need something with a little grab like I have on the P'Bass. Speaking of. I saw Iron Maiden again last night and Steve Harris made me feel ashamed I ever thought I needed anything more than a P-Bass. The picture doesn't show it, but Steve plays with some big, heavy pad wrap around his strap that starts at his should and goes down the back. EDIT - I just Googled, the 2nd pic kinda shows it. I guess they are custom padded. That guy probably walks about 5 miles across the stage over show, so I'm sure it helps.

  24. Maiden was awesome last night as always. Thank you @thunderlounge
  25. I saw Tom Petty there from the 6th row q month before he died. I saw Jackson Browne there Friday. Great show. I knew I shoulda went to that NIN show Sunday. Ive been on a tear of shows the last couple weeks and took a pass. That was a mistake.
