  1. Guys on the Tacoma forum love the OV Tune. It will likely address the shifting logic/throttle management issues that the stock Tacoma has. It’s pretty cheap and does not affect reliability. Most people only complain that they didn’t do it sooner. I have a 2019 Tacoma and it has been perfect for me. I have the MT, so I have not felt the need to tune it. You are right, it is ancient technology at this point, but it works, is reliable and will always sell for more later on. I agree that the Ford interior sucks. I don’t want to look at that all day.
  2. Just a couple of thoughts: Drive both the JK and the JKU. I went in wanting a JK (it does look better). However, the ride quality of a longer wheelbase is so much smoother. The JK feels choppy and gets pushed around a lot by highway wind. Get as stock a jeep as you can find. Never trust someone else's lift kit and who installed it. If it has one already, find a trusted shop to look it over well. Some of those things are installed poorly. Also, research Jeep death wobble a bit. They are an absolute blast and a young person is going to love it and look past every fault (loud, slow, poor gas milage etc) and appreciate how fun they are. Not sure when the arrival of the Ford Bronco will be, but you may see some increased Jeep inventory as people move into the new Broncos. I think it was going to start in Spring 2021 but chip shortages may have delayed it.
  3. About that F chord...... let's just say it is the first big hurdle for beginners. Are you ever in DFW Troph? I have a Seagull S6 I can part with. PM me
  4. Doing math on my guitar calculator...... $3500-$1200 (gambling winnings)= $2300 which is a really great price for a 335!
  5. There is where you are wrong. If he was 5 years old the MIP charges would have stuck. No need for the fireworks secondary charge in that case.
  6. What about something with P90’s? Noventa MIM Strat in Daphne Blue looks amazing.
  7. Well, I went back and listened to that album over the weekend. Those guys were singing about California back then too. Damn it.
  8. While I agree the Chili Peppers have become a beating lately. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan was a great album for high school aged TChico that had been stuck listing to Radio Top 40 hits of the 80's. Plus, my completely crappy bass playing can be blamed directly on Flea.
  9. In stock on page 2, but you have to get past the lemon burst on page 1 first.... https://www.toneshopguitars.com/collections/gibson-electrics?page=1
  10. Cavalry blue is a great color. They made the Tacoma in it for one year (2019) as a non-Pro color. Not sure why they didn't do the same with the 4Runner. I guess it just wasn't very popular as they killed it for VooDoo blue pretty fast. I love mine.
  11. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid Irish Ale is back. That is a lot of guitar for $299
  12. Not as colorful as the Souldier or Couch straps, but Dogtired makes a comfortable and really durable strap. Apparently they make them out of the same material they use for karate belts. https://dogtiredguitars.com/collections/straps-1
  13. Well, that just sucks.
  14. Reverend had a big booth of new stuff there. Lots of fun great guitars at the upper end of your price range.
  15. There was a good amount in the $300-1000 range. Chad and I posted some of the over the top stuff, but there were a lot of dealers with normal and fun stock at lower prices. I took a hard look at a few Kramer and Yamaha basses from the 80's in the 400-800 range. It's Sunday, go make a deal. No one wants to load up and haul all that stuff back home. Several Rics were there if you just want to get a feel for them in person.
  16. No, I looked for it, but did not see it. Don't know if it sold or I just missed it.
  17. I went looking for something Fender shaped and pastel. Alas, I was denied. I did find a Souldier strap that is apparently a new design that will be hitting their website soon.
  18. Chad hit most of the eye (wallet) popping hits yesterday. I always enjoy some of the oddities.
  19. I was waffling, but I am totally going tomorrow. Thanks for the pics Mr. Fuck.
  20. I'll be there Saturday. If you could buy the bass I want before I get there, that would save me a lot of money. TIA
  21. fixed
  22. You need to cater to the professional crowd. Starbucks kiosk. Well appointed interior. Gear wall rental. "Handling fee" to have gear shipped and stored at the facility to keep the wife in the dark about new acquisitions. Offer relic services at the luthier shop on site... The possibilities are endless. No offense. I kinda fit in this demographic too....
  23. When they default, can we have a Storage Wars type bidding situation on the gear left behind in the rehearsal rooms?
