    WTF: You know, relatively speaking, there really aren't THAT many songs about crossbows...

    I must admit I haven't thought about crossbows for a while. Flails on the other hand are definitely back en vogue if you ask the HEMA crowd on YT.

    Mojo Request CONCERNED: Doctor misspelled several medical terms on my latest visit summary including "buttox" and "testocals", do I still have to pay my bill?

    I'd find another. Like when my GP mentioned robotomy in his referral. I think he had been drinking again.

    Val Kilmer Passed Away

    That's sad. I like his stuff. My fave bit is how he went from big smile on his face to fully focused full auto in a split second when walking out of the bank in Heat. It's a nice tiny, tiny detail, executed with perfection, that tells a lot about his character. Like Pacino's character says "Drop...

    Achtung! New Track Out!

    Or rather I reworked and fenderized an older choon I wasn't quite happy with yet. Guess it's alright now. Moving on to the next one!

    Question: Are you cool?

    Here we have four red guitars..

    In context I'd probably pick the Strat because that's where I feel the most at home. For just messing around I'd love to give the Jr a go. And I think it's fantastic that you own four red guitars.

    Achtung! You're going to be seeing a lot less of smurfco these days...

    He may be a smurfco but he's our smurfco.

    Today's Practice Setup

    Right now I'm reworking the rhythm parts for a nearly finished track, playing the Lester, middle position, strumming it hard like an acoustic and using an extremely bright sound with hardly any breakup at all. The signal chain, as you can see, is TuPRE preamp/EQ -> Presonus Ampire using the...

    Dig it! The Perpetual Pedalboard of the Day Thread

    What are your thoughts on the RE-20? One of the bands I was in ages ago had the real thing, but I found it rather noisy and difficult to use with guitar. Then I tried the Boss some years ago and really liked it, especially how you can add a bit of gain to the signal. I just couldn't justify...

    Question: Here we have five red guitars

    Yeah, I know, they are all expensive, but forget about the money for now or pretend it's on me, don't worry about it. You can have one, so which one is it? Gibson Custom Shop Super 400 CES Wine Red 1998...

    Question: Question: "Oh my God, a defect!" When's the last time you got a product or item and after a period of time from instant to a few days you found a flaw

    I ordered a lumberjack I think it was from H&M There was a hole in one sleeve I returned it and got a new which was fine Generally, the quality of lumberjacks has been going down since Roy Orbison died, but I blame Macca I can't remember exactly how I reacted when I discovered the issue.
