The Last BBS

(this is directed at the people responsible for cutting hours)

You know things are getting crazy when it rains on Wenatchee.

We're in the 12-18" band when I'm at. I haven't gone out and measured. It's definitely closer to 18" than it is to 12". And it just stopped about an hour ago. Lot's 'o snow, fo' sho'.

The temp has gone up from 11 this morning to 22 right now.

Both of our axes!

I will consume 3 5-hour energy shots and challenge you, Wacky!

Holy shit it's here and I love it. I'll try and get more pics another time. This thing is just so much fun to play.

This week's episode was very fine

The new guitar is currently in Middletown, CT. That's all of a 2.5 hour drive away from me. According to Fedex's freight estimator, that means it should be here tomorrow. According to the estimated delivery date based on the tracking number, it's still scheduled for a Monday delivery. I really reall...

Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the raccoons start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas.

Everyone knows raccoons don't play guitar. They play banjo!

This is the one I just took into the shop. It's a Carvin DC400. Carvin isn't even a guitar brand anymore, but 20 years ago, this thing was way up high on the list of awesome guitars. It's showing its age, but it still sounds great and plays like a dream. https://i.ibb.co/kxJ9fVR/IMG-20201209-131254....

Next on the list to share is the acoustic. This is a fairly recent acquisition, and I'm really happy with it so far. It's a D'Angelico. I've never had any of their guitars before, but this one sounds really nice. Plus, it's got some onboard electronics, meaning it has a tuner built in and an output ...

These two ukuleles are also part of the collection. The one on the left is Koa wood, which is pretty nice. Sure, these aren't guitars, but they are guitar-adjacent.

I've got a few other guitars here that I will share with you as well. Stay tuned.

As far as sound goes, I am currently using a small practice amp called a Spark. It's not bad. A big plus is it has a lot of effects and different amp models preloaded, so you can get a lot of different sounds without buying a lot of equipment. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with it, so I'll have t...

I have a new baby that is supposed to arrive on Monday. It's a Paul Reed Smith clone from a company called Wolf, with a professional setup from a custom shop in Los Angeles. I can't wait to give this thing a test drive, it looks gorgeous and the videos I've seen of people testing it out are very enc...

This is the thread where I will share guitar things. It should be very exciting.

Whoa now, let's all just take a deep breath and consider a much more reasonably possibility. He was kidnapped by some raccoon poachers that he caught in the act, then held for several days in a cage with those very same raccoons he witnessed being poached, fed only dog food and water, managed to esc...

Lots and lots of rain until about 15 minutes ago. It is now 46F and cloudy. We had a thunderstorm in November today. Late November thunderstorms aren't something we get very many of.

52 degrees and sunny right now. I'm sure we will have our first blizzard soon enough though so I'm bracing myself.
