  1. “Listen to the lack of sustain?”
  2. NGD. This is about to be a rubber-bridge guitar. It's a Fender "American Professional" series Jazzmaster. A few years ago, I bought an almost identical G and L Jazzmaster, and I only kept it a few days before sending it back. Ironic that we're talking weight right now, because the main reason I sent back the G and L is because it was just absurdly heavy. Generally, weight is not a make-or-break metric for me - within reason - but IMO that G&L was heavy beyond reason. It was a rock. Anyway, this one has already had some electronic mods done to it and it already had a bridge upgrade (pictured). It was one of those guitars that had been on Reverb for a while, so I think I got it for a really good price. I've got some ideas for pedals that I think might be cool with this plunky sound. If the rubber-bridge thing doesn't work out, then I own a Jazzmaster, and if that doesn't work out, I think I can sell it for pretty much what I got in it. Already ordered some heavy-gauge flat wounds with a wound third, which it what they recommended And the only thing that's not here is the bridge (coming tomorrow), which I bought from waterslide.

  3. I mentioned this a month or two ago -- I've been wanting to experiment with a rubber bridge guitar, but the ones I've seen for sale on Reverb are really overpriced. So I decided to get a guitar that fills a lane for me anyway, and then just by a rubber bridge that fits it. That way if it doesn't work out or if I get bored with it, I can always go back to a conventional bridge and have an instrument that I'll use and play. So... new guitar day on Friday.
  4. Agreed.
  5. Arguably, there's no equivalent to Page for 1) authorship of iconic guitar lines, or 2) wide influence. I understand that Jack White gave the filmmakers the low-tech, low-budget, low-fi approach to playing guitar, but I still had the "why is this guy in a documentary with Jimmy Page?" reaction. A lot of his scenes and commentary felt kind of performative (like an affectation). EVH could have represented the whole tapping, whammy-bar, master-of-the-fretboard genre that he pioneered. Maybe he told the filmmakers "no?" I understand the rap on Edge for being a 1-trick guy, but in that film he came off as a low-ego guy and a serious student of the instrument. I suppose Knofler could have provided those things - plus he's pretty obviously a better all-around guitar player.
  6. Pitt is playing (no) defense like it's an NBA all-star game. Every Xavier shot has token resistance at best.
  7. Jabari Rice is a pretty wily player. He's confident and he has an in-your-face demeanor. He reminds me a lot of Cornbread Maxwell (yeah, I'm old).
  8. Under 10 minutes to go. We have 2 points on free throws and 0 points on threes. That's crazy.
  9. Wasn't sure which thread this goes in... sorry if already posted.
  10. Very nice. Thanks for sharing that.
  11. You know, I haven't really put my finger on exactly why I hate Purdue so much... But maybe that's it. I remember Keady being SUCH a crybaby bitch after that game.
  12. Can you imagine how hard Virginia fans are rooting for FDU?
  13. Of course Purdue has a white guy who hooks the other guy's arm and then flops around and cries for a foul.
  14. What? This announcer thinks you should only use a timeout if the arrow favors the other team? Weird comment.
  15. Still better looking than Gene Keady.
  16. FDU needs to start using all of the shot clock.
  17. I mean, that was a foul on Cunningham, but there's just been an enormous disparity in foul calls when the guy with the ball gets shoved.
  18. That was a high-IQ basketball play And then he scores
  19. Yeah, I can't remember seeing a team with less confidence down the stretch. They looked terrified.
