Since you mention Cole Porter: when I play his song, You're Be So Nice to Come Home To, I play it in A harmonic minor \ C major. The A minor...

Attributing Nugent's actions related to Covid-19 to him being a moron is actually being generous to him. i.e. He may not be as clueless as he...

"Subhuman"... yeah, that's Ted's a-hole coming out for sure. Very few people deserve the moniker "subhuman" (they DO exist), and that includes...

I have seen no one, anywhere, ever, say "COVID doesn't exist." When the word "hoax" is used, it's not about the virus, it's about the REACTION to the...

Hadn’t noticed before but that headstock has that odd cut out on the treble side. Also ‘non standard’ headstock inlay, truss rod cover and fret...

Yes, wishing death on people is horrible. We aren't talking about Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, or Mao Tse Tung.

Price Drop now asking $5,495.

He’s a far right activist who called Obama a “subhuman mongrel.” What a lowlife.

People who say covid doesn't exist and it's a hoax are MORONS, PERIOD. Time to thin the herd. Let them get it, and then REFUSE them hospital care...

Good eye Lawson, it's a little different than my '47

I guess he got the cat scratch fever. sorry, couldn't resist :cool:

FWIW, I know Dan. He's a great, upstanding, honest guy. I've also played this guitar. It's an excellent example of a vintage 2 P90 350.

You’re European. What the he** do you know about a “new” or old America?

I think you're just arguing for argument sake at this point. Can you tell me what exactly he said before that makes telling he got the virus a...

One could also say.... that’s Gibson. :beer:

The new issue of Jazztimes has Pat holding an interesting Ibanez.

I know this is horrible, but I'd like to see some prominent deniers die from the virus. I'm that big a fan of irony.

That's really interesting. I see also on the Archtop.com listing that evidently there was some experimentation on the shape of the cutaway. That's...

Hoist, so to speak, on his own canard. An epic self-own, and an irresistible opportunity for guilt-free schadenfreude if ever there was. He will...

He's just pissed he got Covid-19 because generally Ted likes everything under 18.

Here’s a good angle pic of Tal Farlow’s 350 that shows yep they did have an odd ‘non-Gibson’ cutaway. Looks like an original. Google Image Result...

"And more people died because of him and others who were deniers." fep What is your proof for this comment? Do you have statistics for your...

Apples to oranges? No. Clementines to mandarines? More like it. I don't think you can categorize one amp brand as superior to another from the...

Still didn't like being tested.. "what would be the good from knowing if there's nothing you can do".. Hmmm.. :rolleyes:

When I'm learning a new jazz standard, I actually make a point of not learning it by reading from the real book. I listen to many recordings, usually...

Where did he say he was wrong? Did you even listen to his facebook video? He is still operating under the same mindset. He actually is literally a...

To be fair, he was a moron long before covid-19.

I wonder -- in a class D amp, how expensive is it to up the output wattage? I see class D bass amps with -- well, the Quilter Bass Docks have 450W @...

Nope he's not being "castigated for his honesty". Rather, it's that he originally took a ridiculous position that because of his celebrity...

My ground loop tech dates from the era when you cut and splice yourself.

Ralph has been performing with a Beyerdynamic M160 Ribbon Mic for decades and has added a pickup later on, which he mixes into the signal only for ...

So, a person publicly admits he was wrong and he is castigated for his honesty. Is this the New America we were promised? ...

Is the cutaway original? It doesn't seem the same profile as a typical Gibson round cutaway. I'm not familiar with the history of the ES350 so I...

That's an awesome guitar, probably the ideal p90 jazz guitar. Unfortunately due to stupid physical hobbies (5 years of muay thai) and my day job...

So, this morning, I printed out some free sheet music for my expanding repertoire-- post pandemic. The downside of the pandemic is that most of us...

Quite. Crossed my mind as well. Yet, the user manual claims 25 tube-like watts, with more mulling inside for headroom. If so, enough for practice and...

I loved the henriksen when I got mine (when I got it I had played polytone, acoustic image/raezers edge, rivera - over long years) it seemed to me...

If nothing else, as a preamp unit this looks promising

I want to dig in too - I have to have my action high enough so playing hard doesn't generate a metallic fret-sound I know exactly the sound you...

A beautiful guitar like this deserves to be shown upright ;-)

You were blessed to have this father watching over you. Whatever the age they pass away, it is always too soon and always the same sorrow. I lost...

Put your fingers right where he put his . . .

I seem to remember you struggling with the 135 issue. It rots looking back with regret on a lost instrument, been there, done that. As far as the bad...

Oh poor Teddy, getting his ass kicked by the "fake China virus". He doesn't know what's in the vaccines, but now he knows what's in the virus. PS....

Yep

Guess it's fake news :highly_amused:

Wow! Thanks for sharing this gold mine. This is an invaluable resource.

Just purchased. A few fresh ideas for $19.99 is a bargain. Always enjoy listening to Mike Stern play AND talk. shreddin'

Many thanks everybody for your very useful info--much appreciated.

Thank you. I guess Power Supply like Voodoo Lab could solve it?

My trusty tech repairman with 50 years experience uses JJ s and they work fine.

Thank you so much!!! I was at some of these shows and this collection is a treat of Great Value!!!

It is called a ground loop, where more than one path to ground creates a loop that picks up hum.

The obvious way to prevent the pop would seem to be to turn the amp off before switching, then back on.

+1 to the above but if the string imbalance is too much for you and you don’t mind the anachronism nickel strings are always great. For feel and tone...

Great looking guitar! Enjoy it!

Well, it's a jacket. Goes well with the high-water pants. I do like the music, though. :cool:

He’s actually willing to part with it for less than $3900.

nice jacket too...

Beautiful guitar!

Grahambop: sounds great. As others have said, you seem comfortable at this tempo, lots of cool ideas and phrasing...

The m6 chord is the most common choice for tonic minor before the modal era. But minor triads come up a lot last well. As you say, m6 is dissonant....

Great guitar here!
