Re: NGD...forum trade
I had your online persona pegged as a dude until like 4 days ago.
my work here is done. :lol:
seriously though, i've generally enjoyed being "one of the guys" a lot more than having a group of girlfriends. i have my best friend who is a woman and generally, other than her, i prefer hanging out with dudes, or at least a mixed crowd. guys tend to be more straightforward and less uptight in my experience...more fun all around. women can be MEAN.
Now what were these favours you were talking about doing for your man? You gonna wash even more dishes? :dance:
yes, that's it EXACTLY. and i'm going to bake him a pie.
Does anyone else hate to play the A major chord the way longcat is playing it on the last picture?
It always sounds out of tune to me that way. :banghead:
i think i'm actually playing Em7 in that shot.
Congrats. I tried to buy that guitar, but you beat me to it. I have your original tailpiece, though! It is going onto my Explorer the next time I change the strings. Enjoy the AXE! I used to have the same model in the same color, but it got traded for a camera kit. It was a really good guitar; I miss it.
sorry man, better luck next time. shouldn't happen again, as i can't imagine i'll be buying new axes that often. does it give you a little comfort that she's gone to a good home where she's much appreciated, as the only gibson child? :friday:
in your dreams, maybe. someday i might be good enough to play something worth recording and letting other people listen to, but not right now.
Along with that, OP, you could switch the mags between the 498 and the 490. That'd give you A2 fat in the bridge and A5 clarity in the neck, though doing it with the covers certainly adds a few steps on the "pain in the ass" scale.
i might try that. i'm new to the electronics in general, but i'm a tinkerer by nature, so they don't intimidate me. dystrust tells me he's never tried swapping magnets out before but it's worth a try for sure. then, if i'm still not crazy about them, i can swap them out entirely.
the TP6...it's staying put for now. there's an extra gold stock tailpiece laying around here that i might try out at some point when i change the strings on it, just to see the difference, but not until after all the other nuances have been addressed, and the TP6 might just go right back on anyway during the next string change. it's not like it's a huge pain in the ass to swap out, and i want to try different things to see what i like best instead of just saying "well it sounds good to me" without knowing what else is possible, especially with a switch that easy. i just want to keep an open mind and try it. from the consensus here though, it sounds like the TP6 is something i'm going to want to keep on there.
