  1. Oh, so we can ask you about the $200 OLP guitars that Ed Roman retopped and then labeled as EBMM guitars for $2000? Also, you created an account just to bump a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD thread to tell people to stop bad talking him? Seriously?
  2. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I wonder whatever happened to her.
  3. Seriously. Remember when we used to have to bump threads after just a couple hours to keep them on the first page?
  4. Yeah, so HC committing seppuku many moons ago hasn't killed my GAS. It only got worse. Apparently this place rose from the digital ashes several months ago and I just discovered that a week or two ago. Are there any familiar faces around here anymore? Anybody shocked to see me? LOL
  5. The line for the nut doesn't actually line up with the nut.
  6. I know it's blasphemy to say anything remotely bad about Hendrix, but I would disagree. Clapton is a singer/songwriter as well, he's from the same era, and he hasn't written anything of substance in years. He has continued to recycle his past hits with whatever flavor of the month phenom is hot at the moment. The only singer/songwriter/guitarist I can think of from that era that has even remotely remained relevant (writing new material that people want to hear) has been Neil Young, and that may be a stretch. It's hard for any performer to continue to be relevant for very long. I don't think a living breathing Hendrix in 2012 would be any different. David Gilmour's "On An Island" blew up in England on the charts and I feel it was an excellent album. He's from the same era.
  7. I don't have any pics, but I want to find a Jet City JCA100HDM, but I can't seem to find them anywhere around me.
  8. Right on Eric..Glad to hear it:thu: Damon thanks for the support. :thu: I haven't had a chance to get back to you, but I installed the set of BG Buckers in my buddy's birthday Les Paul... Gawd damn!!! You did it again, bro. They're amazingly sweet. He's going to be amazingly happy with them. One day, sometime in the future, I'll have a nice ice tea burst Les Paul that I'll need you to wind me a set of pickups like Jimmy Page's #2...
  9. Nope, don't agree, he's every bit the same as us, or as different as we all are anyway. This. Just because he's a moderator doesn't mean he doesn't have an opinion. It's his job to keep people from being assholes to the rest of the forum. He's never abused his powers and he's not the type that ever will.
  10. Frets99 is just like the rest of us normal posters, except he has a user interface that has a couple of extra buttons that we don't have. Besides, he doesn't have a a normal poster hat and a moderator hat -- I've heard that he has a mean kimono with the word Moderator on the back. All of us measly normal posters out here wear our H-C ponchos. I like the username of the person that posted this reality check.
  11. Hey, I dig banter. I love learning things. Adequation is a word and has a definition which I think is in keeping with my usage of the two words in question; cheap and inexpensive. Here's the definition of adequation: # equivalence; A change in the meaning of a term depending upon context That's exactly what I said. Context affords more virtue to inexpensive than cheap. I will also say that, what I consider inexpensive gear can be the same piece of equipment purchased at a blowout price. If I could get get an SRV strat for, say $999 instead of the going $2000 price tag, I'd be so stoked!!! Apparently I goofed or something. When I looked up adequation last night on dictionary.com it came up with zero results. Looked it up again this morning and it did come up with a definition from Webster. Weird... Anyhow, it is a word. Regardless, like you said, "cheap" can refer to price but tends to also infer low quality while "inexpensive" just refers to price. Saying that, I consider GFS stuff to be inexpensive. Sure, it may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it's not cheap crap. There are some also some Duncans and DiMarzios that I really don't like, either, but I won't call them cheap crap simply because they do not deliver the tone I'm looking for.
