Re: Les Paul's first Pedal Board

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...

Re: FireBirds

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 ...

FireBirds

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...

Re: ShortWave Radio

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...

Re: Weather

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...

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.

Re: Did You Ever Play A Song Wrong?

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...
