  1. Well, I don't know if that was a flash sale over the weekend, but the price is back up. Price on a Mustang bass was MSRP $1150, 20% off sale $920 and then this weekend price dropped to $735. At that price, I picked one up. Hopefully Fender doesn't send me an email and claim a computer glitch of an accidental 20% off the prior 20%. NBD if the sale goes through....
  2. Great choice. Prices are finally dropping back to more sane levels. With the 2024 coming out, maybe you can score a decent deal on a 3rd gen. Keep us posted on the hunt.
  3. PSA: Fender is blowing out their current Vintera line to make room for the Vintera II series. https://www.fender.com/en-US/electric-series/vintera/
  4. https://reverb.com/item/70885558-squier-by-fender-classic-vibe-70-s-telecaster-thinline-natural-8152-bo $319 on Reverb
  5. I’ll pass on the actual vehicle, but the juvenile in me is happy to see decals coming back.
  6. No surprise after the minor penalty last year. If you asked me to guess what teams would be most likely to test the limits of going over the cap, that would be my top 3. If it is Haas, Gene will just pay the fine out of Guenther’s “swear jar” fund.
  7. The new Fender Vintera II line has leaked. Looks like they are ditching Pau Ferro and going back to Rosewood. I have been eyeing the JMJ Mustang bass for a while, but this may be the new leader in the clubhouse. https://www.txirula.com search vintera ii for the full guitar and bass line up.
  8. That’s the crazy part. We took them on an Alaskan cruise right before COVID happened. We did an extended glacier tour and they were discussing glacier retreat etc. My wife and I came away from the tour horrified. My in laws were all “this is just the natural ebb and flow of the planet”. We all hear through filters, but I’m like “Dude. You are a math and facts/scientific method guy. Seriously?” News entertainment channels broke them.
  9. This is where my FIL is right now. Went from years of climate denial to this is natural and God’s way. Super smart engineer too….
  10. It was cool and overcast this afternoon. I ran across this guy trying to warm up by the creek.
  11. I had one for a while. I am definitely not a tech, but I found the build quality to be fantastic. They are super light weight and the neck was rock solid. It basically never went out of tune and I never had to touch the truss rod (it was set up and shipped to me from California). It would handle the lack of humidity that you have up there easily. It was also really bright and clear. Lots of sustain. If your budget is up for a $2k hiking guitar, you should not be disappointed. Just know that it will not be super warm. Also, I think they all have electronics if you are concerned about those getting wet. I ended up selling it to a guy that wanted to keep it on his boat in Florida.
  12. I'm running the Garden of the Gods 10 mile in a few weeks. A little altitude test for me as I prep for the Pikes Peak Marathon this Fall. At least it will be better than running in Texas heat and humidity.
  13. Not defending Lance at all, but this was him mid February. Who am I kidding. If dad doesn't own the team, there is no way he would still be in F1. That being said, Lawrence doesn't seem to tolerate poor performance. Perhaps the biking "accident" was Bond villain Stroll trying to open up a seat while keeping the home front happy.
  14. I was looking for links to add Lone Star Percussion to potential purchase locations. They apparently closed in Oct 2022. WFT.
  15. Give him a copy of this to woo the ladies at the toga party.
  16. You can even get one with a set neck! https://www.fender.com/en-US/electric-guitars/telecaster/special-edition-custom-telecaster-fmt-hh/0262004520.html
  17. I know it's a more expensive guitar, but I am spending Goredho's money not ours.
  18. Actually, G&L makes a Bluesboy with a P90 from the factory. https://reverb.com/item/64097343-g-l-u-s-a-classic-bluesboy-90-2021-jet-black-muscle-shoals-al
  19. Also, merchandise sales. I have been intermittently checking their site for a long time. Every jersey is always sold out.
  20. Regardless of political preferences, everyone should have a problem with a governor interjecting themselves before sentencing or the appeals process to expedite a pardon. The next time I am summoned for jury duty, I am going to show up and request that Greg Abbott serve in my stead. I have never been a huge mass protest guy, but if a third the state refused to show for jury duty in protest, that would be awesome. At the very least, everyone claims a bias that they will be unable to fully participate in the proceedings because we now understand that the judicial process is entirely meaningless and ultimately only subject to the whims of a single person. Of course, Abbott would just send us all to jail for contempt of court.
  21. 4R is part time 4wd. Will look into Rav4. 4R is part time 4wd. Will look into Rav4. The Limited model 4R are full time AWD. May push against your budget though.
