  1. Full disclosure, I posted that pic from my phone. Seeing now all blown up and shit on my computer screen, things that once were fit are not as clear cut. Still Team Thomas, though. So you can put that fear to rest.
  2. Team Thomas, and she's held up CONSIDERABLY better. But, yeah, we all win.
  3. I don't even have to click: Epiphone and DSL40C.
  4. Bam!
  5. Because it was good.
  6. Tigol, Can you make your way to something like this? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ORI5Cd--marshall-origin-ori5c-5-watt-1x8-inch-tube-combo-amp Sweetwater has a demo available for $400. I think the smart play is a Katana, but I don't know how your husband feels about solid state. I imagine it won't excite him like playing through a tube amp as God intended. If he's big on Slash, having an amp with a Marshall logo on it might also give him the warm and fuzzies when he's trying for the umpteenth time to nail Sweet Child O Mine (I kid because I care). Any excuse to keep practicing and playing is a worthy excuse. (Side note: The Katana will wipe the floor with an Origin, and all the other amps here suggested, in everything but cool factor. But if he's a straight male he'll probably flip out opening a Marshall box. You will be a hero with the Origin and he'll get a great amp.) That used Les Paul Studio you linked would be perfect, imo, apart from the paint job. An Epiphone in a burst would be my second choice. But with that budget, you should be able to steal a Gibson. EDIT: How did I miss the Edwards Les Paul Superhero posted! Mmmm tasty. All you would need is a comically large tophat. ANOTHER EDIT: Dur, you already have the amp covered. Congrats. It might help if I read the WHOLE thread before I jump in, guns blazing. But is that how you're supposed to internet? I think not.
  7. A PRS plugged into a Vox amp is about as un-Slash as you can get.
  8. Second piece of shocking news in this thread.
  9. Fucking hell.
  10. My thought is that neck radius is the most over-analyzed aspect of a guitar. Lots of wasted brain power on something ultimately so insignificant.
  11. Star Spangled Banner incoming.
  12. This Is The End took some chances and surprised me with how well it turned out. Bad Words is one of the best comedies from the last 15 years, much less 5. Thor Ragnarok and Deadpool highlight the evolution of the action comedy and the death of the straight comedy. Deadpool 2, as well (despite Brolin's charisma black hole).
  13. Didn't cut and whittle own wood. Doesn't count.

    Speaking of, did any of you happen to catch the High Fidelity forum at Bass with John Cusack this past week?

    He's a Sphynx. The only real hair he has is on his nose. The rest feels like peach fuzz. And a big Rocky Burnette fan.
  16. And a pretty good diplomat.
  17. That article was better when he titled it "no need to pump the breaks..." before he corrected it. Much more accurately aggy.
  18. Probably, for at least some of that. He boosts with Xotic's EP booster, but he adds drive with all kinds of stuff. If I had to guess, I'd go D&M Drive or maybe Plimsoul. He's also keen to drive with the bare amp, and the HRD IV is supposed to have an updated killer drive channel. Edit: Ah! He's not using a King of Tone clone like the D&M Drive, he's using an actual King of Tone.
  19. I was raised on country music, mostly 70s and 80s glamour cowboy stuff - Ronnie, Kenny, T.G. Shepard, Eddie Rabbitt, John Conlee, Anne Murray, Janie Fricke, that kind of stuff. But I grew to like just about everything country up until the genre died in the late 90s. RIP Of course I dig the Outlaws, too. Ran into this hoss in Mesa, Arizona:
  20. "Pete used a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV and Lee a Milkman Dairy Air into a Victory 2x12 cabinet." Pete Honoré, the dude on the right, makes just about anything wail, but he's particularly on with that Tele and HRD. Amazing tone.
  21. Listen to the toanz! Same channel, with Teles imbued by God:
  22. Boom! Tough actin'...

    I'm a DM & Flood fan. Anything pre or post, meh. Violator is an all-time great album. I'd put it up there with Master Of Puppets and Girl You Know It's True.
  24. Geddy Lee Effect.

    Also: 30 year anniversary.
