I still exist.  Only check in here rarely.

 

Good to hear from you brother, it's been a minute. Much love and hope everything is going very well for you and yours.

Ta Mike, right back atcha. It's going OK! I have a big birthday coming up, so that's something, haha. Better than just being above ground, though, the plan is to have the 3 bands I'm playing in all play. (Gotta love Gainesville!)

So, the acoustic Irish band at 8:00, the experimental/performance art collective at 9:00, and Crash Pad at 10:00. Should be fun.

I've owned several over the years. Still have the MIJ P-bass I bought in '89 for $100.

Is that what they're calling it nowadays?

I'm sorry, but I've always been against normal.

I do feel that whole "Cancer {censored} You" though.

Beautiful, but for that kinda coin I could find at least 3 used non-CS LP's w/2 pickups each.

If I had unlimited funds?

Sure.

I've had no probs w/generic Muso's Friend cases for my setnecks.

Is it just a reflection, or does the finish appear to go a shade lighter, in a straight line at about the stoptail? Anyone else see this?

Yes I name them. They are often women's names. They are sometimes color references or model references, or puns of one sort of another. Sometimes these categories overlap.

It's fun, especially for my kids. And sometimes a name is shorter than the actual model name, by a long shot, for example, "Brownie," versus "Tex-Mex Telecaster Special."

Here are my guitars' names:

Sonia '60 Duo-Sonic

Brownie Tex-Mex Tele Special

Blondie '52 RI Telecaster

Seven Squier MIJ P-Bass

Ruby DeArmond Jet Star

Blue Ovation Breadwinner

Chrissie Hamer USA Special

Cherie Les Paul Studio DC

Nell Fender Standard Jazz Bass MIM

Joan Gretsch Electromatic Special Jet

Violet

Ah, but that depends on the definition of "successful." The OP hasn't set the bar very high, just the occasional $50-$100 profit. In a big enough college town with a music scene, that's doable. However, a good candidate to "flip" may only show up once every one or two months, and someone else may get to it before you do.

Fwiw, I have started doing this. I don't expect to make very much money to speak of, but it is possible to turn a small profit. (As an example, a year or 2 ago I snapped up, not to flip but for myself, an Epi T-bird bass for $100, and I know I could've resold it for $200 or at the least $150, had I not wanted to hold onto it.)

However, it may take a good month or two to move something, once acquired. I look on it like this: I get an axe that's new to me, and available to play, for a month or two, and when I resell, at a minimum I have yet to lose any money. So it's like getting paid to have an extra axe laying about.

No prob w/the fret ends on mine. Build quality overall is good, really just as good (non-cosmetically) as my LP Classic.

I have one of the more unusual LP Studios, a Double Cutaway. Produced for a few years in the '90's.

In addition to the DC design, it had a chambered body, a 2-pot setup, and a wrap bridge.

Yum.

Congrats!

Prayers and mojo.

I wouldn't use gbase, personally. Those are music store prices and inflated over what an individual can get. As a result, I've seen guitars linger on gbase literally for years.

Oh that was the old cover,I changed it. This is the new cover of my pseudo coffee table book :

Haha, sfaik, the only Agile I have is a 2004 (Valkyrie II), though I suppose it could be 2003.

ummmm.. hoping it gets lost in the upgrade??????

Naw, it's my office address. And we have an alarm system.

I know one i don't want. Oh, I went there.

Send it to me.

Thanks!

Us white kids have to fall back to the standard girls and drugs

And cars, man.

Obviously you didn't read Oscar Jordan's Springsteen thread.

1960 Fender Duo-Sonic.

I don't love him or hate him. He's just not very relevant to any of my musical interests.

Congrats!

I hate to admit this, I'm such a dumbass.

I've seen your monicker countless times and that never registered.
