  1. Duo Jet saw it's first live action last night and may have become my #1 in the process. Great stage guitar, checks all the boxes. And they wouldn't put it on the event page if it wasn't true! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
  2. Technically he's in A#m, as you suggested above. Capo the 1st fret and play it like an Am. He's got a good tone and rhythm, so it just sounds more complex when he does it. Like him or not, dude's a pro.
  3. How is Judas Priest not already in?
  4. I saw him 5 or 6 times and that was the only time I saw him cover it. I love the original classic and I enjoyed his cover. I have a 45 with a good Jimi Hendrix cover of it as well.
  5. 20 something years ago I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for my 1st time and somewhere during the end or an encore they covered Them's "Gloria". I dont know if it was the best cover of all time, but it was pretty damn fun. I still remember it. I found this on YouTube, different night but pretty much how i remember it.
  6. It sounds to me like he's playing the A, D, and maybe G strings of an Am shape with the capo on the 1st fret, then moving to a C shape.
  7. I'm not sure which thread to post this in. I know a lot of us have a huge admiration of the efficiency of Mike Campbell, and the brilliance of "American Girl" is widely accepted. This is incredible.
  8. Ya, I googled her after typing that to see.. Almost 30 years married to the same dude. Hell ofa lot longer than I ever made it. Good for them.
  9. Somebody somewhere is tired of her shit.
  10. Managed to leave without bringing anything home. The Dean is OK, but made in Korea. Im gonna pass. Good eye those who spotted that bass. It's "BassMods". Never had heard if them, but looking online they have quite a following. Neck was flat and wide as hell. Im happy w my PBass, but if anyone's Interested, ill be in Waco in March and Austin in Sept. They were asking $1,250 for this one. Guy said the owner would likely take $1,000 or $900 cash. The Charvel is tempting. Would have been more so if the thing was somewhere near in tune - im not putting the effort into tuning a Floyd Rose with out the allen keys in a pawn shop. EMGs in neck and bridge,, stock PUP in the middle. Tag said $800 A few shots of the others inside. The Boss Chorus interested me.
  11. Thank you both for the research. That 2nd one Foggy linked looks just like this one, even the pickups, proving once again that he is the master finding used gear. I likely stop by and look today, but doubts on actually buying it. Ill get info / pics on that bass and the Charvel too.
  12. I noticed that w the pickup @foggy notion . Looking at Reverb last night and I couldn't find one like it to figure out a value. Most have a floyd rose. The ones that didn't were listed for very little, but they all looked more stripped down than this one.
  13. I put together a playlist I put on when I work in the bar (I do that sometimes). Flirting with Disaster is on it. Great track. Great story tbone FB always gives me "suggested posts" or whatever. This one just came across, says from 1985. (I know, get off FB!) FML.
  14. I always thought Triumph was a British Band for some reason. Likely cause of the motorcycles of the same name. So I was a little embarrassed when somebody pointed out that they are Canadian when I was DJing a "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" set and included one of their records.
  15. I didnt ask, I was only there a moment because I had a bus coming. May go back tomorrow, I have a dentist appt nearby. Inside they had a nice white Mexican Strat and a Black MIJ Charvel. I asked to look at both just see if the Jackson was a San Dimas and if the Strat was American. My friend / bandmate bought a Dean V as his 1st "real" guitar last year. Its left handed so I have no idea how it plays, he loves it. He said he paid $900 used on Reverb. $550 they are asking for the one I saw today.
  16. There's a pawn shop in very sketchy stretch of San Francisco where really awesome guitars somehow pop up from time to time. Its where I found my Explorer for $700 and where that walnut '69 es-335 that got away was. Two temptations today. Yesterday I was talking about selling some gear to free up space, today I'm seriously thinking about going back after this Dean.
  17. I bought the 1st album. It was pretty decent. Loaned it to friend after a few listens and it's just taken up space since its been returned. Ill probably pass on this one. If they come through town I'll likely try to go see them. Mike Campbell's guitar collection is worth it of he rotates them as much as he did as a Heartbreaker.
  18. I thought the P-Bass was just understood
  19. Im actually a little jealous of that jj. I acquired most of these when i had a ton of space to store them securely. Now they mostly take up space in my small bedroom but i can't sell most for reasons outlined above, simply too difficult to choose what would go. I have identified a couple that I think I'm going to sell just to free up space. Im slowly turning my big bedroom into basically a studio / small venue and thought about hanging them all along a wall. But I fear some friend of a friend type will be over, see them, then I become theft target. Better to keep them in the other room where I can just lock a door when people i don't know well are over.
  20. Im as guilty as anybody, but in reality i have 3 Gretsch's and Gibson that sound pretty much the same / same pickups and i have 2 Telecasters that sound extremely similar. Other than those, nothing but the Les Paul gets played often because that's the sound Im drawn to. The Les Paul only gets played because I love the neck and feel of it. I've ben tempted to pull out the Customer Buckers and putting Gretsch pickups in that one as well, but it feels sacrilege to do that to a custom shop guitar. Of the ones that do get played regularly, I love them pretty equally and for different reasons. The 6120 would be my favorite, but it's kinda tough to play past the 12th fret because the body is fat. The DuoJet is great up the neck, but can be neck heavy. The Flying V hits all those bases, but lacks a Bigsby. The Billy-Bo doesn't play as well as any of them, but it plays well enough and sure looks cool as hell. Even with my acoustics. My 000-28 gets played all the time. I cant figure out which dreadnaught to sell because neither of them sound like the 000-28. I think I just answered my own question there - sell both and find a dreadnaught that sounds like the -28. I only want to keep a dreadnaught because Ive been thinking of sitting in with a weekly bluegrass jam they have down the road weekly and all those guys have dreadnaughts.
  21. I'm w tbone. Maybe if you're in a cover band playing all types of songs w different sounds. Most bands like that I see, the guy uses a Line 6 multi-effect and it sounds good enough for the people there. Ive seen some sound pretty impressive actually.
  22. 2 tones, 2 volumes, and a 3 position selector switch are already too many options for me.
  23. And the Bigsby. Any Chet guitar's gonna have that.
  24. Its got the Gretsch "Neo-Classic" fretmarkers, but not the pickups! Good looking guitar.
