Ok this looks interesting and affordable I plan renting a small apartment in Bangkok towards the end of the year simply because Bangkok is a great city and living in the burbs in a gated development I miss out on so much of life. GF is currently working 2 hours away and now at the house only on week...

This is man with toomanyhats, cats, birds and squirrels. I liked it very much, but I'm afraid I always thought classic metal was like brushed nickel or tarnished silver.

I am reading all kinds of reports of people renting EVs that they abandon for Uber when they run out of juice and there is no charging station. One guy said he rented a gasoline powered vehicle but when he landed and got to the rental car company there were no gas engines left so he had to take an ...

I am the type of person who absolutely hates using the PC when doing anything guitar playing related....BUT...I do so much want to record some songs and ideas just to fulfill my creative yearnings. This Zoom R4 looks pretty interesting to me...kind of like an updated version of the old Tascam DP-00...

This highlights the natural tone of a 335 perfectly !

I'm hearing learning by lp compared to the learn by casette. I think my tools set my style for my entire life. I learned most everything for years starting out off of 8 track tape. If you mis a note Orr phrase it's 10 min until you hear it again. So I never got good at exact copy or even hearing wh...

I've never bought a car to have it transported! But then, I've never owned a Tesla! :D When I bought my Suzuki here in Thailand, it was at the Auto Show from a large dealer. After delivery, there were some issues about a dash warning light that nobody could figure out. Called in tech from the manuf...

$1500? Are those people on crack? If I want to feel like I'm slumming it in my bedroom, then I'll stick with the Gibson Baldwin Music Education model I picked up for $70. I can invest the other $1420 in a real, gig worthy instrument that will allow me use it as a tool to immediately earn that capit...

Sweet..but maybe not $1500 worth of sweetness

Very interesting amp..but expensive...over 3 grand for 1x12 ouch

Side note: check out the guitar he pulls out @6:30...wowza

There is a Japanese second hand store called Mono-Loop in Bangkok. They have a small guitar section and frankly most of the guitars are a wreck. There was a decent looking Candy Apple Red SX Strat there for about $70 bucks. But what interested me were these old MIJ Yamaha SG style...I did not have t...

Oh yeah !

The problem is we ARE those grandpappys now !

I think her fans caused that. It doesn't sound anything like real country! Downright painful to listen to! Agree...and the headline is a red herring...it's not the fact that she's a black woman that gives me pause, it's that someone of her musical career and genre is exploiting country music just b...

What's next Snoop Dog at the Grand Ole Opry ?

So as proof the Universe maintains an equilibrium over our lives, never allowing us to stray out of our assigned lanes, I offer the following: Thai Baht to USD exchange rates have been between 36 to just under 30 for my 9 years here, with the longest stretches happening in the 32 to 33.5 average ran...

I can see it now...the Harley Benton 'Windmill" guitar. Warning: will not function with breezes less than 5 MPH.

Come on now Mickey, it says "solid wood relief technology", that must mean it's good for upset stomach.

$300..well it says made by professional team..must be legit

Interesting discussion on how racing stripes on guitars affect tone.

A drunk young lady driving a 2004 Corolla took out about 250 feet of my chain link fence this afternoon. She is sitting in the County Jail at the moment, alcohol & gas don't mix. Good thing the Highway Patrol gave me a printout of their accident report. Guess I'm in good hands with Allstate??? ...

Nice work. Very relaxing...reminds me of a cool Autumn day in Jersey. Unfortunately sweating here in Bangkok ..not much Autumn.

Yeah...Steve Marriot was a monster talent...died after getting drunk and smoking in bed, setting his house ablaze. Very sad
