  1. Wow. That’s pretty much perfect.
  2. For smaller stores with less than $500k sales, you still may be able to catch a break. https://www.statesman.com/opinion/20190329/commentary-texas-should-repeal-500000-internet-sales-tax-exemption
  3. Speak for yourself. (Googles mojotone........)
  4. I could post a pic but new case day doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. I also looked at this 80’s Robin Ranger bass. However, they want way to much for it and I can’t get past the painted on F Hole.
  5. I wouldn’t trust any “nitro safe” hangers with foam to actually be nitro safe. Most drugstores have 100% cotton gloves for people with contact allergies. They are about $5. Buy a pair, cut the fingers off and slide them on the hanger posts. Nitro safe.
  6. This is the voice of experience you should really listen to. The obvious answer is to skip the Adorama Gretsch and go for this one instead. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/G6659TGCG--gretsch-g6659tg-players-edition-broadkaster-jr-center-block-cadillac-green-bigsby-tailpiece
  7. Just heard, starting Oct 1, 2019 Sweetwater will start collecting sales tax for Texas residents. Get your orders in gentlemen.
  8. Yeah, the cost of the Smarties and Bit o’ Honey is certainly higher than Costco, but I appreciate the toy prize they included in the package.
  9. Going forward, I am blocking all calls from Ft.Wayne, Indiana. Roasted Maple necks are the bomb though.
  10. I can see that. I think Fender did a signature bass for Mark Hoppus a while back that was a Jazz body with a Pbass pickup. Not sure what neck they used for it though.
  11. I have some sock puppets, styrofoam balls and a few pipe cleaners to walk you through the process.
  12. He did Good Eats: Reloaded last year. It was basically an old episode that he would pop in and voice over a tweak to prior recipe. It was an appetizer (pun intended) to the new Good Eats episodes coming out now. He does make things complicated sometimes, but every recipe of his that I have tried has come out pretty awesome. I am in for the new show.
  13. P Bass. You need a P Bass.
  14. Wow. That doesn't suck. Not one bit. Paging Gordeho to the white courtesy phone. You are on deck.
  15. It's Friday. Is it here yet? If you could post the tracking number for us, I think we would all appreciate it. TIA
  16. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/fender-limited-edition-american-professional-telecaster-with-rosewood-neck They list an open box one for $1159.99. With your discount, that would bring it to about a grand... I looked at the bass version and it was really nice. The neck felt fantastic.
  17. Forgot the obligatory:
  18. I'm still here. I've been playing 3 months. Just started trying to butcher My Girl and Sir Duke this week. That thing is ridiculous. I have a thing for natural finish and maple necks. I couldn't resist picking up a G&L Fullerton Standard last week. I can barely play the Fender I posted above, but found a killer deal and I have impulse control issues.
  19. They are pretty easy to work on. https://www.quadratec.com/categories/jeep_electrical/ignition_system/ignition-cylinder-locks https://www.quadratec.com/categories/jeep_electrical/ignition_system/ignition-switches
  20. I think it is totally salvageable. Fix the ignition switch yourself. The parts including a new key are pretty cheap. There are a several YouTube videos on it. Assuming it then runs, change all the fluids. Patch the soft top for now, you could easily replace it later. Assuming everything runs well and you still like the Jeep, strip the interior yourself and get it painted and the wheels refinished down the road. It was a POS before, now is your opportunity to bring the phoenix out of the ashes. Or maybe see that Spicoli guy. His old man is a TV repairman and has an ultimate set of tools. He can fix it.
  21. The items in that store....good grief
  22. Attempting to move on from JB... I know this is a guitar centric group, but any bass players here? I just took it up 3 months ago. Having fun so far.
  23. Standard CL response: I see some dings in the headstock and the fretboard looks worn. Case has quite a bit of damage. Straight up trade for a 1987 Charvel with gig bag? Red 80's rock machine with serious mojo.
  24. https://kochleather.com/collections/accessories/products/adjustable-horween-leather-guitar-strap-for-acoustic-or-electric-guitar This guy makes the straps for Larrivee. If you wanted one a bit longer, email him and he will make what you need. Solid guy and Horween is top notch leather.
