Who Bought Something Because of The Quarantine? If So, What?

Wait, wait, wait for baby Yoda to re-appear...Mandalorian great show....

 

No I didn’t. But my Neville and Xotic came the day before. Now I have two new friends.

 

Congrats! Love my B&G Step Sister

 

Pulled out the stock pickups on my Vintera 60s mod Tele, for a set of AV58 pickups which arrived yesterday. The originals sound tinny and weak to my ears. I'm happy with the results.

 

I've wanted a P90 loaded Gibson for a long time and have almost ordered one online since this thing started. But so far I've stopped myself for a few reasons. I don't need it as I have a perfect Tele and an SG—and I've never bought a guitar without playing it. Buying a guitar online is something I'm weary of.

More importantly though is that it's hard to know how bad things will get and spending on non-essential things seems risky.

I imagine that as the economy contracts that some of us will be forced to sell off gear. I anticipate some low prices for used guitars over the next few months.

But man I really want a LP Special. I should order a few packs of strings though!

 

I sold a few pedals and a Fender Champion 20 to people to use during quarantine. I’m still working like nothing has happened though!

 

I know I could Google, but what is a
U Suck at Golf? Video game/trainer?

 

I have actually ordered ( I guess this is old school? I'm always behind on tech),
a webcam for my desktop computer ( never used one) and a tripod w/remote control ( for video) for my phone.

Both will be for hopefully doing some live streaming solo or duo gigs from my home.
I actually don't own a laptop which I understand has a camera ( my wife owns one, but honestly I don't know my way around it- still prefer a mouse!).

The webcam idea came from a call I got from the Activites Director at one of the 'regular ' Nursing home gigs I play. We are supposed to play there next Friday.

She wants to continue with music entertainment she has scheduled for her residents, bur wants to do it remotely by video conference, ' Go To Meeting.com.
network. - so shows would be broadcast on TV's throughout facility.
I have NO idea what to do, but I bet I will figure it out- get the camera, hook it up, and get the conference account software/app right?
Good way to keep a gig, and maybe open a new door for performance.

 

Sorry, I left out the word shirt. They make lot of neat golf accessories

 

Purchased some pieces to build my first pedal board. Should be here this Sunday.

 

I've never played golf ( like to watch on TV) have a chronic bad back, but hear that golf is an easy, relaxing game, that's REALLY HARD to play well!

I know a few buddies that won't even play anymore as it got so frustrating - they can't stand settling for playing poorly, so they just stopped!

Glad that sentiment/dynamic doesn't stop us on guitar!

 

I’m 99% into a deal for an ‘07 R8 (in case queen shape)...just what I need...!

 

I would never buy an instrument at this time although I ordered one a week before the first reports of the virus and used gloves to open the box as it came from indonesia a week later. At this moment I am gassing for a new effects box as I'm getting bored with my board.

 

I am soooo on the edge. I have a Strat, Ibanez bass, LP and a Frankensquier. Really want a Tele. Looking at the American Performer as it as single and humbucker.

I want to buy a Tele kit and build one while I’m house-bound. Looked at Stew-Mac and really don’t know which kit to buy. I want a really good one. Any advice?

 

Not really because of quarantine but wasn’t going to let it stop me...I bought a really cool mint Martin 000-17SM 12 fret slothead. Will add pics when I finish painting the bathroom!

cheers and stay safe (and play lots)!
