    And since this is a thread about guitars, I'll post the shitty guitar version of these colors.  

    Gentlemen, may I present to you, the Antigua finish:

    This is real? You’re not making this up?

    Probably the most bang for the buck of any instrument I've ever bought. American Standard P-Bass i bought new back in 2013 off that site that used to only offer 4 screaming deals a day. Hello Music??

    Its my only bass.

    I played it in a couple cover bands back in San Diego. Countless jams / sit ins. The bass player in Vary Mary played it for every show and most practices because she prefers it to her own P-Bass; she also plays it in a new project we're trying to get off the ground. We use it in Dirty Years - me half the songs and the other guitar player for the other half. Now in The Koffs. All with that same strap too! It came with a big hard case, but I always carry it around in a lightweight gigbag.

    I've never once changed the strings. Probably about time.

    Never changed the strings? Not even stoned and bored?

    In a somewhat related note, there are two famous instances of fighting for control over corpses.

    One is the physical struggle in the Parkland Hospital between the staff and the secret service over who would carry out President' Kennedy's corpse. 

    The other was the often-physical struggle between NYPD and NYFD over who would carry out the bodies from the 911 wreckage. If it was their man (or woman,) the two sides would have a physical struggle over control of the body that would sometimes turn into the throwing of the fists.

    A Tesla may perform better than a '65 Mustang, but the Mustang looks cooler. 

    Yep, and that coolness reads something like this. 
     

    Billy’s Pearly Gates

    Framptons Phenix

    Duane’s Gold Top

    Clapton’s Beano

    Jimmy’s 59

    Walsh’s 59

    Gary Moore, Paul Kossof’s 59’s, the list just goes on and on.

    I always liked being a small part of that.

    Adam Schefter is a dipshit who won the lottery by being in the right place in the right time to take advantage of the new world order of what you report almost doesn't matter at all as long are you break it first on the twitter tweet.   Don't waste too much intellectual horsepower giving him the time of day in an "argument"

    Add in that all the former pros he works that are forced to pander to him, all think he is an asshole. 

  7. I can entertain friends when I’m drunk. I think it is because I really relax after a few shots. 

    My go to move is the opening of “If you wanna get to heaven.” As I am a big Steve Cash fan…

    It is not far off at all actually. You have just experienced a loss. A loss of self and identity. You are going through a lot of feelings here that are very much along the lines of those stages of grief.

    Never underestimate how much of our sense of self lies in the job you do. Think about how often you are asked what you do, or how work is etc

    I agree with this. I was forced to retire at 55. I was fine financially, and probably would have retired in a few years anyway. But, it was the loss of title, responsibility, and my opinion that caused much anxiety. It was the most difficult element of retirement that I had to adjust to.

    Wife said it took two years before she could see I was finally at peace. I asked her how she determined that. Her response was she could tell when I started laughing a lot, and started following the weather.
