FOLGERS, SWISHER SWEETS, BUICK, KEANU REEVES...

How dare you question the JazzKat! He's been playing guitar now for months and he has years of experience. After all he is 15 you know!

I just keep thnking that maybe it just needs a fret job but haven't had it done yet and am afraid if it didn't help it would just be a waste of money.

Here's a question unrelated to this thread except it's about guitar gear. How do you know when your tubes in your amp need replacing? Will it quit altogether or just sound bad? My Peavey Classic 50 / 410 has been going strong for about 8 years. I don't play all that much but I seem to remember the life of a tube isn't THAT long.

Besides assuming it was set up when repaired, I brought it the top luthier in town and told him since I got such a good deal on it I was willing to put some money in it to make it right and gave it to him. He thought it might even need a complete fret job but when I got it back it seemed all he did was adjust the action. I could've done THAT! (and had) For God's sake man fix the thing!

I just made a trip to a couple guitar stores and I played several archtops. Including a couple of those Ibenez Artcore models we discussed a time back. I think I got a dud! I bought an Epiphone Broadway on Ebay a while back and it was new but had obviously been dropped and then repaired. The repair was pretty good and not too noticable. One of the pots and knobs were broken as well (easy enough to replace) I knew all this when I bought it and for the money I felt I still got a good deal BUT... It's the worst playing Epiphone archtop I've ever played. Today I played a Broadway identical to mine, a Joe Pass model, an Epiphone Dot and they all played better than mine. Even about half of the Ibenez Artcore guitars played better than mine. Before I bought it I had played several Epiphone archtops and they were all better than mine too. I got a GOAT and now I think I'm gonna have to unload it and get a new archtop. Anyone want a Broadway? (guess this isn't the best time to ask, huh?)

That's what I was thinking.

Larry Willis' A TRIBUTE TO SOMEONE is the disc with Curtis Fuller on Trombone I was referring to.

I don't think it was ever on BMG because I was looking for it. I had the other titles and was hoping The Flip would show up on BMG but it never did. (I am never wrong, just ask my wife. )

Guess what I'm listening to.... BASRA BABY, BASRA!!!!

And if you're not in school, how are you getting a Phd, mail in courses?

Let us know how the show is. I'm seeing them next week!

A friend of mine went with a large reputable company only to have them subcontract out to a smaller outfit, which in turn, demanded additional payment an arrival and held his possesions "captive" until he paid them.

Why do I get the feeling that Che is researching an article for a school paper? Your question, which you appear to be in desperate need of an answer is : Why do people like smooth jazz? Here at this board, we have NO IDEA. OK, leave us alone, if you want that question answered go to Kenny G.com and ask HIS board members. Other questions you might also consider: Why do people eat seafood at RED LOBSTER? Why do people buy BUICKs? Why do people drink coffee made with FOLGERS crystals? Why do people smoke SWISHER SWEETS? Why do people wear POLYESTER? Why do people watch reality TV? Why do people watch movies with KEANU REEVES as the lead? Why did William Huang sell more albums than Wayne Shorter last year? Why do people live in Gary , IN?

I hope that's not supposed to be one! A good one, that is. Looks like someone's castrated testicles are headed for testicle heaven!

I think I've seen some worse album covers around the internet but I have never read a funnier commentary about them! That guy is hilarious.

Ropeadope sent me HERE You should go too for a laugh.

I think my favorite MMW is Combustication.

I think the poodle is trained to help with the pedals!

Is that Shirley Scott?

Is this a BA Hammond?

Philly Q, You didn't indicate which one you wanted so you get... BOTH! I still can't believe nobody wants a free BOSS HORN!

Holy Crap! Nevermind! I just went to the Peavey site and the model I have now lists with an MSRP of $999.99! I think I payed just over half that when they first came out! You might could find a used one. Even the little 30 amp model is $600+ (What are they putting in their crack over at Peavey?)

I have used a Peavey Classic amp for several years. I have the one with 4 10s that is based on the old Fender Bassman, but they make a smaller one which I have played and it sounded nice as well. It's a good option to get a good tube tone for not a lot of money.
