I also understand that the Ceriatone amps are pretty close also for a lot less too

How about a Chumble to play your Chibson ?

Check them out...the 2 older girls can both sing very well. And the little runt is not bad on that kit too !

Just got an offer, oddly accurate match to my last sentence of the original post. A bright spot in an otherwise sad week. My mentor/colleague that taught me so much about manufacturing & injection molding passed away Monday evening. Accepted the offer. No drop-off in salary or vacation after th...

Very cool! I good friend of mine loves the Philippines. He spends a lot of time there and soon he will retire and move there. He actually has released a couple of songs that are being played all over in the bars there. Both are Philippines related tunes. We have been co-workers and bandmates over t...

This guy gets the cool dad of the year award, he formed a band with his 3 daughters...they are pretty darned good

It does not get much better than that!! They actually are having fun out there after all those years too. I recall an interview with Keith Richards a few years ago and someone asked him how do they still get along on stage after so many years of doing it, he simply said it's not the time on stage t...

Craigslist Buyer: "Uh...I want the hay but not 180 bales, could you throw in a fish tank with a few fish and maybe fit 12 bales inside the tank with the fish ?"

Ok at least here in Bangkok, no contest. For the 2nd posting I've ever done, sale in 1 day again and FB had 6 buyers all vying to buy. Craigslist only 1 response to my ad for the Nux mini amp: FB : all replies were : I want it today, can you discount a bit ? I of course built this into my list price...

Update: sold the NUX mini amp. What I liked: Ease of use, nice app controls, decent tones available What I didn't like: a bit noisy, I found I had to turn off my wifi router and a few other items to stop the buzz at times. Mediocre Bluetooth speaker functionality. No on board volume control and Blue...

Owning a VII copy and the Epi FB I they feel like any other guitar while sitting. I've said numerous times, they are the Cadillacs of guitars. The neck join + body length puts even a 24.75 scale waaay out there. Gotta have the strap button at the heel for balance. FWIW I'm 6'2" and got long kn...

I have a premium YouTube subscription which includes the Youtube Music app so they are also a streaming option in addition to regular videos

The Les Paul-verizer (Digitech trio stole the idea)

A great example of professional musicianship and a band working together to perfection

Crazy because he has his own homemade vibrato on that guitar and the neck pickup is some kind of dynasonic put into P90 housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ioKxBla98 He had dozens of Franken_Pauls over his life. I remember some video documentary that showed just a sampling of some of the stu...

Les Paul invents the Digitech Trio...ha ha ha ha

Just Wow...speechless

I don't play my Firebird very much, but it's a lower end one, a tribute. It plays well, sounds decent, and is pretty light. I often play sitting down too, and it's not a problem. Based only on the Japanese Tokais I already have (LP and tele), I would happily trade my Firebird straight up for a MIJ ...

Soliciting opinions on how comfortable Firebirds are to play, primarily sitting down is what I'm interested in. There is a stunning Tokai FB65 Firebird clone available here for about $500 that looks and sounds amazing in demos, but I have not yet had the chance to handle it personally. Anyone play c...

Even the creed stuff, recited by drones?

Crazy Radio is everywhere...same crap being peddled on hundreds of frequencies all over world, but it's still fun to listen to.

Just in case anyone is interested in a pretty cool little emergency radio here is the model: features are rechargeable removable 18605 Li battery, FM/AM/Weather/Shortwave bands, can play files off SD card, can act as Bluetooth speaker and answer call capability. Charging options include, USB type C,...

It's complicated, and as you say, likely manipulative. I try to listen to news from all over to get a better basis for identifying the actual truth of matters. That's more than most people have time for. I also think it's only a healthy habit for critical thinkers, not quite everyone. Still, multip...

That. looks. awful. I don't know how society functions at temps like that. To be quite honest, yesterday was 102 F but humidity was a very low 28%. As long as you stayed out of the direct sun, it was far more pleasant than days of 85-90 where humidity is above 75%. There was also a nice breeze. The...

So I bought one of these small emergeny radios. Has a flashlight, an LCD panel, solar panel for charging, and a built in generator/dynamo for charging in emergencies. As a radio, it's really great, excellent reception, good scanning capability, can use TF card for recording, brings me back to the ol...

Uh Oh..looks like we're headed for a cold snap on Saturday...I wonder if I should cover the tomato seedlinngs ?
