I don't think Don is actually talking about doing anything like that, he's a long time member and he knows better, but the mental gymnastics are tempting! But I agree that with all the counterfeits and licensing issues, TDPRI doesn't need any potential headaches and will likely take a very hard...

No. The license Fender grants to Squier is non-transferable. If you remove the logo, you remove the license. Technically you could say, "It was at one time licensed by Fender", but you'd be on shaky legal ground at best. That and what Lonn said!

JJ 12ax7s are now $39.99 for a single tube. That is, if you can get them. Last year I sold my two Fender Red Knob Twins that had a dozen 12ax7s each... They were too heavy for my geriatric physique, so I was happy to see them go to younger players. Shoulda' waited just a little bit longer...

Forgive me for dusting off this older thread, but I found this YouTube video on the topic very informative. Also, Blanton's is available again at my local bottle shop for $59.99, but only in person, no online or mail order purchases. It used to be $39.99, so apparently the manufacturer has...

Strymon is an innovative pedal company. All of their products consistently deliver high quality tones with a good sense for knowing which features to include without drowning customers in needless bells and whistles. I just wish they weren't so expensive!

A low mileage 2018 Sr400 just showed up on my local Craigslist yesterday... And today I find this thread! Very cool bikes... One of the few kickstart bikes still on the market... And the new ones have fuel injection too! I definitely want one!

A few months ago I stumbled across a very interesting YouTube channel called, "Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles". It's basically the pet project of a commercial airline pilot who likes aviation history and muscle cars... And he knows quite a bit about both. As I am also a long time fan of the...

I hate these false dichotomies. Just get both! And trick out a MIA while you're at it!

Jazz Cabbage! Congrats on your decision to be healthy. Talk to your doctor. Smoking is a peculiar habit. I.e., The act of burning medicinal plants and inhaling the smoke. Certain substances have serious physical side effects of withdrawal, and may require a substitute or treatment to...

I love Lace Sensors in a Strat. Excellent pickups.

Katana head used.

As a potential buyer, we all know there are scams out there. It's easy to reply in a way that let's the seller know you're for real. E.g., "I'm interested in your Peavey amp, is this the 210 or 115? Do you know if it has a tube guard installed in the back, and if so, is it the Peavey guard...

Pay him to play what you want him to play.

House of the Devil is an annual Halloween event in my family now. Nice and creepy with a distinctive 80s flavor.

That's crazy! And Blanton's is good old Kentucky Bourbon. I used to drink Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, and that was about $40 a bottle too. Checked local prices on the Jack Single Barrel and that's $45 now. It was always more consistent than the Blanton's too. But that was part of the fun...
