  1. I’d love to own an actual 12-string, but right now, I emulate that sound using an EHX Epitome (which has a POG in it). But something like this would let me free up the Epitome for other stunts. Speaking of EHX…
  2. In the pot… And plated, with buttered toast. Pasta: cavitappi Solids: shrimp, Campari tomatoes, sliced button mushrooms, onion, garlic Liquids: pasta water, white wine, lemon juice, the innards from my sliced tomatoes, unsalted butter, EVOO, and shredded merlot Bellevitano cheese. Herbs: Black pepper, white pepper, thyme, tarragon, oregano, parsley, chives and garlic salt.
  3. I have never experienced a dull moment listening to Bill Laswell.
  4. Welcome to the asylum…ummmmm…forum!
  5. If you can’t find a standard Gretsch pickguard for your guitar, there’s definitely companies that can make custom ones for you: https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickguards.html https://greasygroove.com/pickguards.html https://www.pickguardplanet.com/our-work/ https://www.pickguardian.com
  6. I’m a big fan of Adrian Belew’s work, and have heard (and purchased) a HUGE chunk of the music he’s played. But somehow, I managed to never hear a single note of his work with The Bears. Fortunately, in a recent interview, he mentioned that as being one of his favorite projects. The journalist understood Belew’s lament that The Bears were under-appreciated, and attached a video of a whole concert.
  7. I’m not a pro by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve never performed with a guitar in font of any audience beyond my instructors, my dogs or some people way on the other side of a square with other things occupying their attention. And I have A LOT of gear, covering a wide variety of potential sounds. And in terms of pedals, I have both discrete pedals and multi effects units. I have all that stuff because guitar is an artistic outlet for me, and I can afford it. So I can explore surf guitar, metal, classic rock, jazz, and whatever strikes my fancy.
  8. Nice score! I don’t have one (yet) but I know those are pretty nice. Enjoy it!
  9. I can’t point to any names in particular, but the guitarists who show up in videos from Coffee & Riffs or the The Vigeland Mausoleum shows (and their acolytes) would be among MY primary suspects for diving into this stuff without regard for their personal safety. Then there’s guys like Helios Creed whose lifeblood is manipulating their sound in unexpected ways through labyrinthine signal chains.
  10. I’m mostly OK with cheap gear as long as; 1) it’s not counterfeit or stolen 2) it does what it says it does 3) it’s well-made enough to be suitable for the intended purpose. And make no mistake: decent, gig-worthy gear is probably cheaper now (relatively speaking) than ever before.
  11. I’ve seen those on Reverb, plus a couple others they make. You know anything about them?
  12. I’ve had Rick Toone’s site bookmarked for YEARS! Always full of incredible, drool-worthy content, but a lot of it is pricey and niche. THIS, OTOH, might be big.
  13. I love my Keeley Katana Blues- one of the earlier BD pedals RK made for his own company, but I can’t help but think something like the Muse and the RSGPM could work side by side on the same board, almost like a subtler version of that common BD-TS pairing.
