Your board is shaping up nice. I used to have one of those Boss board/cases with the foam in the 80s. Honestly can't remember what ever happened to it.

Moulty in the Barbarians was from Cape Cod, near where I grew up. Had a hook for one hand and stuck a drumstick through it. Legend.

Buddy Miles forever.

If you had asked me in 1977 if punk would still happening in 2023 I would have laughed and said the world won't be around in 2023. But it seems like it has better lasting power than disco, new wave or the new romantic movement. At its core, punk rock is garage rock. And there will always be a...

Lol, congrats. Their loss, your gain!

Is it really your birthday? Well good birthday to ya!

I nabbed a factory second Squier CV 50s Tele last year for $250 new. It was a good deal for the money but had some issues. I smoothed out sharp frets, adjusted the neck relief, and swapped out the saddles for brass. Never bonded with the pickups though and always remembered Chris, Phil (RIP) and...

I've got a lot of ear damage from years of playing loud. I had noise reduction plugs as far back as the 70's but didn't use them regularly. Now I wish I had. I use adjustable reduction plugs now, just trying to preserve what hearing I have left and to try to minimum tinnitus to some degree. But...

This, all day long.

Little patios are good things. Rocking chairs are too. But I wouldn't wait too long on the legal pine. It's callin' your name.

I had three 70s Strats back in the mid-70s, and kept one of them to this day. It's a 1975 and weighs 7.7 pounds so it's not at all uncomfortable. I never had a problem with 3-bolt necks and my '75 was dropped, bashed and smashed in so many clubs back in the day. But yeah, the inconsistency of...

What a great room!

1964 Ford Falcon Futura V-8. Bought it from owner of the gas station I was working at in 1974, for $400. Awesome car.

One very cost effective alternative is the Fender Classic Series. MIM but nice guitars. I have a 2004 Classic Series 60s with rosewood fretboard, Oly white body, 6-point bridge, and 7.25" radius. It's not a real vintage guitar by any means but it plays better than the '75 Fender Strat that I...

And there are so many other legit good Keeley verbs in addition to the Hooke (including combos), like the Omni, Hydra, Verb-o-Trem, Vibe-o-Verb, Caverns, Memphis Sun, Dynatrem, and I'm probably forgetting a couple. The guy is just a maniac for reverb.

I was just listening to this LP, and watching old Thelonious and Weirdos footage on YT. First time I ever saw Dix play was in 1977 and I was a fan from that point on.

Dix Denney of the Weirdos has passed. He had a giant sonic guitar sound, live and on record. '

I was trying different things today, and think I like my tremo better before reverb, rather than last in the chain.

Dude, you are the best. I'll message you.

I've seen the Andy Martin demo but he can make anything sound good with EQ and compression.

I have a JHS Unicorn vibe. I like it but don't love it.

I've always wanted to try one of these. There's an internal dip switch on my Keeley Hooke reverb that allows for a second set of options that becomes accessible from the needle switch on the top of the pedal -- a spring/plate cross fade for reverb, a Magnatone-style vibro/spring, and a...

Love the Magnatone onboard tremolos. Supro amps as well. That kind of sound is really what I'm after.

What are some of your favorite tremolo pedals? I'm still searching for something with a really warm tube-like sound. I use a Tone Freaks Mello Tremo and it's close to what I want but the wave form is just a touch too choppy.
