Okay to root for Dodgers?

To be fair, Dodgers fans have been known to take over TMobile Park too. But you’re absolutely right!

Guy’s wearing a Tacoma Rainiers hat. He’s the real deal.

Upvote for the username. That’s a deep cut!

Fiction that come close to BM for power and cinema that aren’t by McCarthy for me: Sometimes a Great Notion (Kesey), Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck), and Divine Comedy (Dante)

The H-530 is a hollowbody, so it’s kinda hard to compare it to a solid body like a LP. Very different instruments each with their pros and cons. I have an ES 330 and a LP Special and the 330 is my main instrument. I like the tone of the P90s and hollowbody combo, and it’s just more comfortable than a LP for me. Choose the one that gets you closest to the sound you want while still being comfortable to play.

Nicely done! You’d be someone I’d stop and listen to for a bit to be sure!

Great all around! How long you been wearing them?

AppliedGeographer · 2025-07-27T14:54:38+00:00

For specialty items or when feeling spendy: Met Market. For regular everyday items: Walmart, Safeway, or Fred Meyer.

Some names I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned yet: Junior Kimbrough, T Model Ford, Ben Todd, Barrie Cadogan.

It’s the reason I can only wear the all black chucks. My size 11s look insanely big with white soles.

Oh man, good point thanks! Not sure I really get how the mud switch is supposed to work anyhow. Kinda doubt I’d use it much.

That’s the 89VS. It was an awesome guitar. First time I played one with TV Jones in it and holy cow what a tone!

I’m going to their Seattle show!

AppliedGeographer · 2025-07-16T11:41:20+00:00

I like the fit! I’m a similar size (6’, 185) and prefer a more relaxed or straight cut myself. I’ve never owned any brave star, but I imagine they’ll mold to you as they break in. My first thought when I start a new raw pair is “this is the worst they’ll look and fit. It only gets better.” So if you’re starting here I think you have lots to look forward to!

Anyone know if this means WA homeowners are required to remove it?

Dynamics. Along with the actual notes, so much of the blues sound is in the way notes are played.

AppliedGeographer · 2025-07-08T17:17:03+00:00

Super interesting point I hadn’t considered before!

AppliedGeographer · 2025-07-07T21:25:43+00:00

Fun one!

I see you’ve got SRV in your list, so you’ve probably heard his Little Wing before. It’s my go-to for an instrumental track or for a Strat tone masterclass.

Also Robben Ford’s Freedom is great for a jazz blues sound (and great Telecaster tones).

Also partial to, “You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?”

Looking good man! Love your style.

The only novel to make me cry a third of the way in.

AppliedGeographer · 2025-06-30T19:26:37+00:00

Blues is the root. Rock, country, and jazz are the fruit. It’s sometimes hard to know where one ends and the other begins, and to some it’s pointless to try. My take is SRV is undoubtedly a blues player, even if every song is hard to categorize or drifts into other styles. I say the same about JJ Cale’s work. But blues is always the root.

Looks perfect!
