    Nice thread. I inherited my father-in-laws C3. They’re pretty great. I was going to suggest a Nord 73-key too... just for the optimal size and for the sound library. Can’t speak to quality/feel of the keys though.
  2. Re: acoustasonic Two grand for that is insane, IMO. You could get an actual timeless classic guitar... a vintage Gretsch, a 000 Martin, an old dreadnaught, etc. I paid roughly that for a used telecaster from the first year or two of the Fender custom shop. Those things will age like a sonic mullet.
  3. There were several moments like this. In another one, he named “the one about never bending to envy,” which is not at all an actual Bible verse. Also: “Two Corinthians.” He clearly has no fucking clue about anything biblical... and yet, “The Faith of Donald J Trump” is sold in the non-fiction section.
  4. I’ve never sold anything to GC, but I picture it being even worse than the most frustrating episode of Pawn Stars. GC - “This guitar is worth $900. We’ll give you $100.” customer - “How about $200?” GC - “No.” customer - “Okay. I’ll take $100.” me to television - “nooooooooooo!!!”
  5. Hmmm... Can I interest you in a pony getting lost in a snowstorm?
  6. AUTF, that looks beautiful. Congrats. Wanted to ask you guys something -- I got contacted by someone on Reverb who wants to buy a pedal but wants to know if he can pay me some way other than PayPal. Would you say "yes" to that? Or do you think that exposes me to a bigger risk of fraud? Like, somehow voiding or canceling payment once shipped? I mean, I doubt it saves either of us more than $10 or $15, so I'm not sure it's worth pursuing.
  7. She might hold up just fine against the press because she'll never answer the question that was asked, and she'll maintain the overall tone of righteous outrage even when it's her boss doing the outrageous things. She's had half a decade of practice at being disingenuous.
  8. As major-party nominees get older and older, it’s getting more and more likely that some candidate is gonna have a major medical event in the 9 months between the conventions and inauguration.
  9. I seem to recall some big-band record from the 50's (?). Just tried to google who it was, with no luck. I'm probably not getting it exactly right, but the album title was something like: "Music for people who have $2.99"
  10. Ha ha. I gotta confess --- I was hoping he had a 000-28.
  11. He actually believes that the more people who watch his addled, nonsensical ramblings, the better.
  12. Warmoth temporarily shut down their factory (they're in Seattle area). Shit just got real.
  13. west coast pedalboard sent email saying that promo code "FLASHME" gets you 35% off everything in the "ready to ship" section. I've bought a couple orders of solder/cable/etc from them, and I'm very happy with their service and prices.
  14. That looks great.
  15. Okay, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a custom-order Warmoth. Any advice from you guys who have traveled that road? Jimmyjazz? What I'm thinking of: Body - semi-hollow Pickups - P90. Maybe the Fralin noiseless P90 Neck - I'm a maple fretboard guy. And the best neck I've ever played is the compound radius on the new Fender Elite series This is where I'm at (except the pick guard in the Warmoth representation is covering the route for the bridge pickup and part of the F hole)
  16. If the Last Waltz tele were a superhero with its own comic strip, then the Aristedes tele would be the almost-a-mirror-image archenemy.

  19. Did you watch the first half of the press conference yesterday? It was all about keeping America safe from the dirty brown people at our border... never mind that there hasn't been such a case, or that Mexico should be a lot more scared of the virus making its way south, etc. All the brief clips that made the news yesterday were from Trump's absurd "you're a terrible reporter" tantrum, or Fauci's literal facepalm. But the first half of it was numerous appointees stepping up to the mic and reinforcing 1) "Thank you for your noble leadership, Mr President," followed by 2) "Yes, the dirty brown people are a threat to us."
  20. I think 3 is "The brown people are coming here to kill you." An idea reinforced every single day on Fox and OAN with a story about an illegal immigrant who committed a crime. And at yesterday's press conference, "The brown people are bringing a deadly disease across the border" (a story with zero basis in fact). We can all be certain that there's a murderous caravan that will depart Central America and arrive at our border the week of the 2020 election. Which will get the military deployed. "Shoot to kill" and shit.
  21. "The president's bold and decisive actions are saving you from the dirty brown people who are threatening to kill you."
  22. This press conference is full Pravda.
  23. Any giant corporation/industry with good lobbyists is gonna get bailed out and made whole. Don’t worry about them. And it will end up in private pockets. 2008 out front shoulda told ya.
  24. Yeah, that fucking jumped out to me too. It’s unbelievable - even now, almost 4 years later - that this fat, clownishly orange, relentlessly lying shitbag who mocks the physically disabled while reading like a 4th-grader is the POTUS.
