  1. I send you my most heartfelt sympathy.
  2. Thanks! That's a looker alright, but way outta my league - maybe trade for my car??? LOL
  3. Trade what? Image not coming up on my machine. Following the image's URL leads one to this (I had to upload it to my Photobucket account in order to make this work, though): [
  4. Doesn't look like they really care that much about getting the guitars back..... one of those guitars alone is worth more than the reward..... cheap, spoiled, out of touch multi-multi millionaires. I would say that this characterization is more a reflection of something within you than it is a characterization of Petty & Co. I'm not certain why the reward is as low as it is either, but I would imagine it has something to do with strategy that comes from experience and the advice of insurance agents and law enforcement. Perhaps, a low reward will be high enough to entice crackheads to return the guitars, while at the same time, discourage "higher class thieves" from doing anything other than take the guitars to pawn shops.
  5. Going to see those guys on Thursday. Bummer about the stolen guitars. But, seriously, where can you fence a Broadcaster without being noticed? Where are you going to fence any of those guitars? Nowhere. Stupid, pointless crime--and heinous, of course.
  6. Different brands of strings utilize different compositions of alloys and ratios of the inner core's thickness proportionate to the thickness of the string's outer wrap. Because of that, an Ernie Ball .024w (for example) will bend more easily than, say, a Daddario .024w.
  7. Ed Bradley's 60 Minutes interview with Bob Dylan: Bradley (as voiceover) That song ["Like A Rolling Stone"] was recently named by Rolling Stone magazine as the No. 1 song of all time. And he has 12 other songs on their list of the Top 500. Bradley (to Dylan): That must be good to have as part of your legacy. Dylan: Oh, maybe this week. But you know, the list, they change names, and you know, quite frequently, really. I don't really pay much attention to that. Bradley: But it's a pat on the back. Dylan: This week it is, but who's to say how long that's gonna last?
  8. OTH.P. Plans to Make a Few More TouchPads By VERNE G. KOPYTOFF Noah Berger/Bloomberg News Hewlett-Packard’s TouchPad tablet did not sell well until it was discounted. 6:48 p.m. | Updated Adding pricing information. Hewlett-Packard says its tablet liquidation sale was such a hit that it is making some more tablets to liquidate. The tablet, the TouchPad, is getting a brief reprieve from its death sentence. H.P. said on Tuesday that it swas planning to produce one last run of its would-be iPad competitor. Consumers shunned the TouchPad when it was introduced two months ago, and H.P. quickly said it would stop production as part of a broader overhaul. But the remaining tablets went quickly after their price was discounted 80 percent. So many people wanted them, in fact, that H.P. could not fill all the orders. “Since we announced the price drop, the number of inquiries about the product and the speed at which it disappeared from inventory has been stunning,” H.P. said in a blog post. “I think it’s safe to say we were pleasantly surprised by the response.” The company continued: “We have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand. We don’t know exactly when these units will be available or how many we’ll get, and we can’t promise we’ll have enough for everyone. We do know that it will be at least a few weeks before you can purchase.” H.P. described the batch of new TouchPads as a “limited supply” and said it would limit purchases to one per customer. They will be available by the end of October at $100 for the version with 16 gigabytes of storage, and $150 for 32 gigabytes, the same prices charged during the first liquidation sale. I'm not questioning the above, but the articles I have read have said that there was no promise of deep discounts: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/08/hp-to-produce-one-last-run-of-touchpads.ars And here's the official info from HP's blog (which includes info re: Twitter feeds for those who wish to be updated along the way: http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/The-Next-Bench-Blog/More-TouchPads-on-the-Way/ba-p/68749
  9. You can price match with Music123 for $185 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/danelectro-1956-single-cutaway-with-bottle-headstock-electric-guitar/h25343000003001 TweedleDee, I see that the dolphin headstock in red is also on sale @199.00, which Music123 will most likely PM. The dolphin headstock model has a double-lipstick HB in the bridge and, I'm guessing, a bit of difference in feel/string tension because of the six-on-a-side tuners.
