My man!

That’s a real thing. One showed up at my office secret Santa this year.

I got a big honkin rib roast at the local Giant. Through a complicated system of club card, bonus points, online coupon, and general subterfuge I was able to snag just under 10 lbs for 5.99/lb. So that would be a swell Christmas dinner, but we’re already going to a friend’s house for Christmas...

Maybe do like diddy and buy your mineral oil in bulk at Costco.

I do have a 12 string but it’s an old Alvarez acoustic. I never really play it.

As a man of a certain age, I’ve begun to experience jangle deficiency. I’ve talked to my doctor and he recommends a Rickenbacker 360 in fireglo finish, applied liberally to some Tom Petty and 90s pop rock. He said after a few weeks my low-J will be be a gushing torrent of jangle. The only...

I started singing the jingle as soon as I saw the word Dijonaise. That’s good advertising.

I find that the older I get, the simpler my guitar rig gets. My love of knobs and buttons and LED lights in my signal chain peaked decades ago and has been in steady decline ever since. My “main rig” these days is just a guitar into a cable into a little 1x12 combo amp. (I’ll acknowledge it’s a...

Welp, I figured out the solution to my dilemma. It was to buy a new guitar amp and keep using the bass amp for bass. 2 instruments, 2 amps. Go figure. I tried a few ways to play guitar through my bass amp and they were all pretty mediocre. I also tried some FRFR + modeler setups but...

There’s exactly a zero percent chance that stuff tastes like anything but pain. An eQUal MiX Of FlAVoR and HeAt they say. Balderdash.

Maybe start a band with the farm and garden folks?

And later on in the episode, “Songs in the Key of life” era Stevie Wonder would stop by.

I wasn’t aware of that one, so thanks. I might be able to try one locally and see how it sounds.

I want a combo amp that does a good job with guitar and bass. I have an old Bassman Ten (410 50w tube) and it does OK for this role. But for a gig I have coming up it’s too big and clunky and a little underpowered for clean bass. It’s a small ensemble so I don’t want to use 2 amps but will be...

About the same market as ramen noodles. The cheap ones go to broke ass college kids and stoners. The $8 ones on the other hand, I don’t know who’s buying those.
