Tio, I am. I have it at work today to take to my tech so he can do a real setup. Kind of irritated that GC didn't set it up, but I trust my tech more anyway. I'm playing through a Crate Vintage Club 50W 2x12 combo and a Boss ME-70 pedalboard. The crate is in pieces right now, just replaced a...

Thanks, Robert. Yes, I just noticed you had a similar post from a while ago. I considered the players strat too. Not sure what ultimately made the decision for me, but I just bought what I couldn't stop playing. Exactly, I can't put it in the guitar stand that I use, so I am thinking about...

As some of you may have remembered, I have been struggling to find something that is a little bit more pro-grade which I use to describe the idea that I want real quality across the board. I've looked at RG's, considered some custom Carvin's and have been all over the map. My uncle told me that...

Is any bulging of the capacitors the sign of a failing cap?

I've finally gotten around to fixing my Crate VC50212. Looks like the optos are bad but I want to replace the jacks while I have the board out. I've never purchased these before, what are the reliable vendors for something like this? A quick google search (and a quick search of the the fret)...

Now I'm thinking about a P90 on the epi at the neck. That sounds really sexy to me.

I just took in into my guy for a setup - works out of his garage, is cheap but quality. He charged me extra for this one but I haven't picked it up yet or asked why, I'm wondering if he adjusted the pickups. Pots barely change the tone at all on the epi, and the volume knob is essentially...

Tio, looks great, but I think you guys have convinced me to start a little slower. I'm really interested in the S570 from Ibanez, I can find it for about $600 and from all accounts it seems to be a professional enough for me. I have put my hands on it in the store and like the feel a lot. I kind...

Thanks for the replies fellas. Eric, I have 2 electrics: Older SX Strat and an Epiphone Les Paul. I actually love the Les Paul, but I'm looking for some single coil tone, the buckers are somewhat limiting for what I like to play sometimes. Neck is really muddy. The SX is great, it's pretty...

I hope this thread doesn't sound silly to you guys, but as I've gotten more serious in my playing, i've noticed the limitations of my equipment. Always a picky person, I'm sure better players would gladly deal with less than perfect equipment for far longer than I am willing to, but at least I'm...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support. GAS thread incoming!

Hey Guys, I just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I'm still alive, doing pretty well, but still not settled from the big life move. My wife finally got a job in the area and she'll be moving in with me, after 6 months of living apart, today. I'm super excited. Unfortunately we haven't sold our...

Seinfeld! I win! Firefly and Stargate TV series franchise too. I wish they bring those back.

I'm going to have a lot of time to work on my lead while I'm up there so i'm going to be bugging you guys about that.

Everything is working out. I got hired as a Senior Controls Engineer for a manufacturing research facility. I'm pretty excited about it. It's a top of the line facility with toys I've never even heard of. Past that, my wife made it through the rough patch earlier this week, so we're good and...

It does seem common. My wife unfortunately has a problem with her ovaries that complicated just getting pregnant. After some treatment we got her system working right and that's really what we took away from this failed pregnancy. We were so happy that we could actually get pregnant that it was...

So I'm not sure if Cam Newton impressed me yesterday or not. I didn't see any of his signature plays, the O-line kept collapsing, he got sacked a handful of times and he threw I think 3 interceptions.

Thanks for the support guys. Tig, I've never heard it said like that, but that description fits me perfectly.

Holy crap, I got the job! My wife and I woke up this morning with a huge list of things to do to get the house ready to sell, we did none of them and took a really good bottle of wine to play a round of golf. Was good to get out there with her and do something like that. I guess it's all coming...

This was the first recording of the song with vocals (done by yours truly) - bad quality and before we crisped up the actual music as shown above.
