  1. I dig this, Celery. My next electric is probably going to be something very similar to this. I'm pretty sure Nile Rogers did the great majority of his hits on his Strat (bridge pickup, direct to tape, touching an 1170-style compressor on the way in). But lately I see him playing a thinline like yours - maybe even through an amp - and it gives a bit of body and a bit of "hair" (not Uber-clean) to the funk guitars.
  2. One of the hundreds of things I learned from Ken Burns "Vietnam" was how, at the time, the country largely blamed the the Kent State students and supported the National Guard.
  3. Sure. I agree with that. But why is the “law and order” party suddenly offended by prosecutors intentionally catching criminals in a lie?
  4. Also — in regards to that author getting to “Strozk and Page” right out of the fucking gate — it occurs to me that Marcia Clark and Chris Darden also had an affair, but that didn’t make OJ less of a murderous, shitty human being.
  5. That’s an opinion piece. It’s not news. And there’s not really anything in it to support the headline. Again, why defend a guy who took half a million dollars from Turkey and decided to hide that from the agencies designed to determine who’s acting on behalf of foreign interests? Flynn knew god damn well how improper that was. Separate from that, he lied about numerous conversations with Russian agents hostile to America. Tell me again how he’s no longer a traitor or a liar?
  6. Is anyone else bothered by the extra dots on the neck? This is not Nam. There are rules.
  7. My God... a lawyer intending to catch a lying witness in another lie while under oath!!!! That has probably never fucking ever happened. Scandalous.
  8. Shocking, isn’t it? The guy hired to direct American security interests was secretly taking $$$$$ from foreign nations, and lying to our intelligence services. That such a man will be cheered back into the Republican Party tells you everything you need to know.

    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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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!!!”
  14. Hmmm... Can I interest you in a pony getting lost in a snowstorm?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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"
  19. Ha ha. I gotta confess --- I was hoping he had a 000-28.
  20. He actually believes that the more people who watch his addled, nonsensical ramblings, the better.
  21. Warmoth temporarily shut down their factory (they're in Seattle area). Shit just got real.
  22. 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.
  23. That looks great.
