  2. Thank you guys for letting me indulge myself here. Honestly, I've been nerding out on guitars with some of you on this thread, in all its incarnations, for far longer than I have with anybody in real life! Some of you may remember I used to come to Vegas for a work conference every year and a vendor would let us come up and perform on stage like we were pros. It hit me this morning that it kinda brings it full circle to be here as an actual artist. My goal is to have us invited back next year.

  4. This is sick as fuck. Got into Vegas last night. Met the guys at the hotel, which is already crawling with metalheads. Did some gambling, checked out the stage we play, and hung out till - fairly early for Vegas time. This morning we did artist check in. Got credentials and checked in merch. Met the guy who's running the whole thing, and the guy who got us in. Super nice guys, its amazing that they can do all this. We were in the back stage areas where artists are still building props and whatnot. Incredible to see what goes into something like this. 6 hours till we hit the stage and kick the whole thing off!
  5. I thought Musiciansfriend and Guitar Center were related somehow??
  6. My 1st Eagle in quite a while. I was beginning to lose faith in my starter word. Wordle 424 2/6* [emoji834][emoji834][emoji834]🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. If we make it through the weekend, I'm going to forever tell people about the time we opened for Merciful Fate at their 1st show on American soil in 23 years! I hate the Elixirs for the same reason. For whatever reason, from the moment I moved to the Bay Area strings started last me about 3 times as long as ever before. They used to get built up with like black gunk I could strip away with a pick. Strings are long dead before I get any buildup now. I dont know if its the climate or if my body chemistry changed. And I hate when I accidentally leave an acoustic out in the living room before a party. Inevitably somebody's going to pick it, turn off the record player, then expect everybody to shut up and listen to them. Like, book a show if you need some attention, this is social time!

  9. 2 days before the big show our guitar player decides is the right time to grab the tailpipe of a freshly restored 66 bsa thunderbolt. I was worried how he could hold a pick until I remembered that he uses a Lee press on nail for a pick. Glues one on before every practice.

  11. I buy the D'Addario 10 packs. I keep 10s on all my guitars except the orange Gretsch, which gets 11s w a wound G. Thanks for reminding me to order strings for it, I'm leaning toward playing it at the Vary Mary reunion show in 2 weeks.
  12. I have several friends in Texas who play acoustic gigs all over. They all use that exact same tower set and swear that the EV is the best of the bunch. They breakdown and travel easy, sound great, and have the Bluetooth mixer. I think you're gonna be happy with that.

  15. Thanks for confirming. Ive requested the Classic and 8x10's. Evidently our singer is a little short in the brains. He's our point person and has the contact that got us into that thing. Ive been asking for a couple weeks if we'd recieved any info on checking in, instructions, etc. This morning I texted the guys cause its a week away and asked again. A flurry of texts later and our guitar player is at his place spending the entire afternoon responding to a bunch of emails that we were over due in replying to. Things like the gear we want, stage setup, and merch we are selling and prices. Ive never been a part of anything like this, very interesting to me to experience it. The morning after our show last week I asked if we'd earned anything. They were surprized to learn that we should have. He emails the venue to ask, and sure as shit we'd left without collecting our paycheck.
  16. Our Psycho Las Vegas set is a week from today and they just sent us the back line options. I'm thinking the Ampeg SVT Classic and SVT810 cab to run my Pbass through? Any opinions on Classic vs Pro? I want to sound as big and deep as possible with lots of mids. Like velvet cannonballs hitting your eardrums.

  18. If anybody is going to Psycho Las Vegas next weekend, my band "The Koffs" is playing the Redtail Stage at 6pm next Thursday evening to kick the whole thing off. It a free stage inside the casino, so come by even of you don't have a ticket for the festival. https://wl.seetickets.us/PSYCHOUNLIMITED/PsychoLasVegas

  20. After I made the Shaggy Screamers, I made a one off for a friend from the prototype housing and spare parts with hand painted graphics. Somehow I'd lost the photos of it, but I was by his house today and there it was... The Wang Drive!
  21. RIP. An icon.

  23. Found it! Shitty audio as you'd expect, but still fun.
  24. I just stumbled across this, it definitely belongs in this thread. I love how Scott Ian just stays in his lane and looks happy as fuck to just be there. CSB/ I saw Anthrax/Testament/Exodus at some venue in Dallas in 1989. Great show. Evidently some radio station in Dallas broadcast that concert. I know because q year or two ago I was on Discogs and saw an album of Anthrax's set from that show. Of course I bought it, what treat to have an artifact like that from a show you attended 30 years ago. I remember Scott being a monster on stage back then, always liked the guy since.
