  1. Gibbon has always just been really tough to tune. Tuning the open strings to pitch always sounded wonky with much movement at all, and forget capoing or otherwise moving up the neck without retuning. Which, to me seems like basic intonation problems. i honestly don’t know how you intonate and adjust action on an acoustic, but that was the fix - intonate, action, and relief.
  2. Oh they've just been at a local luthier/tech. I've got a laundry list of guitar problems, and just knocked out a bunch of them finally. The '72 thinline was dropped on stage like 15 years ago and it's been kinda fucked up since then, particularly the jack. He fixed that, and cleaned everything off. And I just finally swapped the ugly black dunlop straplocs that I bought when I was 16 off of it and put some regular fender vintage strap buttons on it. The OOO15M at some point got out of whack, I think possibly with the move from Austin to NC. The neck was a bowed - it was still playable but the action was crazy high once you got even a bit up the neck. Fixed that, set it up, etc The J45 has always had intonation problems. He fixed that and set it up. And the PRS honestly has always been perfect. And so I've never done a thing to it. It just had some nasty oxidization and grossness on the pickups and the frets were really nasty. Green. He cleaned it up.
  3. Got my guitars back. Gratuitous lighting pics -
  4. This would have been… 2002 I think and they were still in Jersey. Joint tryouts for the Cadets and Crossmen. i played that Mozart horn concerto (….#4?) and can still kinda do Tiger of San Pedro.
  5. Well I remember Jimmy was a cavalier, so he knows his way around a mellophone. I was close to getting in the cadets when I was 17 but they offered me alternate or crossmen and I chose summer instead
  6. Trombone players are dorks and dweebs. Nailed it with the horn.
  7. Hints: nerd, important to have a good ear
  8. I honestly didn’t even consider the political aspect of the Swift hate leading up to this Super Bowl. I’ve said it dozens of other times in the site but I’m a fan. The take that she isn’t extremely talented and hardworking is comparable to takes that Brady is not the GOAT. Just silly. She’s a great role model, imo.
  9. Gen 1 50 watt Katana and Boss FS-6 switch pedal…. $125 if I’m trying to get rid of it locally? 150? Maybe I should unbundle but I don’t think I have any use for a boss switch pedal, and maybe Facebook marketplace is better but I’d pay $30 to not deal with a Craigslist idiot. looks like a new mk ii katana is 270
  10. just fyi Wake Forest is not in Wake Forest 😃 congrats, that’s awesome.
  11. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/church-fires-austin-pastor-after-accusations-of-lewd-messages-with-a-minor/amp/ Wonder if they fired him for being gay or a pederast.
  12. He does have exactly that ex fat kid thing. He also needs to go all in on either rings and leather or dressed by internet zoomers. Not both.
  13. Now does Kelce get it in or is Swift already on a jet back to Tokyo? Can they get Steve Kornacki out here to explain this?
  14. It gets sent back to the house
  15. Well that would have been a nice thing.
