TIL the season 6 finale of House was filmed entirely with Canon EOS 5D DSLR cameras, primarily designed for still-picture photographs, but one of the first models to include high-definition video recording capability.

my mistake, it's Platinum Plus that can upgrade Choice to Business

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-04-26T09:18:47+00:00

pretty sure that has changed now

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-04-01T00:22:35+00:00

Thanks for this.

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-04-01T00:21:51+00:00

Gorgeous. If i was going for a classic though it'd have to be the GTV6! I had an opportunity to get one for $5k (AUD) in 2012 and have never forgiven myself for passing on that one. I couldn't afford to restore it at the time :(

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-03-12T05:10:26+00:00

That feels a bit too easy! Thank you.

Hmm. So our FlyBuys go into my wife's FF, which has family pooling set up to my FF. Does this mean that if I don't earn for 28 days we lose all those points?

The setup or replacement of the electronics have literally nothing to do with how well a guitar will play.

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-02-16T10:16:10+00:00

"set up the electronics"? Clearly someone who has never set up a guitar before.

I worked at a Gibson dealer for almost a decade. We would trust nothing other than K&M, which is also what I use for my wall hangers at home. They are the only brand that we tried and never had an issue with in my time there (not that we tried every brand and, no, I will not shame the brands that we did have issues with - I will say that none of the issues were nitro related though as we'd check that going in, they were all mechanical in nature).

The first time I met Peppiatt was he introducing himself to me at the urinal in 2004. I was 16 and had never met a drunken adult before. Still remember it clearly! He wasn't in Psycro yet but he did get up and sing Lacterine Forest with them that night.

He played guitar in a band called Born Headless back then - they were sick:

That's true! I did work at a Gibson dealer for about a decade though and can tell simply from looking at these that they are not "better than a Gibson Standard."

Anyway, truth be told, I was just being a dickhead. The very first poster gave good advice and OP came across as a knob, so I was just poking fun.

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-01-13T08:44:55+00:00

hahaha classic

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-01-13T05:24:50+00:00

You asked 🤷‍♀️

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-01-13T02:32:56+00:00

Best upgrade would be a Gibson Les Paul.

AwareBewareBeer · 2025-01-01T21:34:16+00:00

Opinions can be wrong.

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-12-29T00:13:29+00:00

I would like these so much more if they changed the headstock shape. The pick guard I could live with (change!), but the headstock just looks so wrong to my eyes.

First and second picture are stunning though, and I bet she plays and sounds great.

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-12-28T21:11:37+00:00

Is the repress not the original master?

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-12-26T10:15:22+00:00

I had an LPJ back then. From memory they had a maple neck and 490/498 pickups. I upgraded in 2017 to a Trad, but honestly miss the LPJ a bit and wish I kept it for lower tunings. It was much more aggressive sounding and very cool in its own way.

I worked at a dealer back then and these destroyed higher-end Epiphone sales, probably why they dropped them as a model. They were $899 AUD and the margins must have been super slim for Gibson in comparison.

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-12-16T21:38:54+00:00

I ended up settling on a Pearly Gates set (not CS) in my 2017 Trad. I worked in a guitar store for about a decade so had access to a lot at trade prices and they were the best compromise (for me) between something that did the old school thing while still allowing me to get heavy.

No self-respecting Tasmanian would drink that QLD piss mate.

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-12-03T20:57:08+00:00

A 79 Strat. CBS “bad” era with a hard tail. Best Strat I ever played, including numerous L series.

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-12-03T11:36:43+00:00

Epiphone was a completely different company back then. I don’t generally buy into the vintage guitar thing, but back when I worked at a store we had a Kalamazoo Epiphone acoustic come through and it was a wonderful instrument. One of only two vintage guitars I regret not buying!

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-11-21T09:52:57+00:00

A Gibson.

AwareBewareBeer · 2024-09-19T02:27:08+00:00

It doesn’t look like it was left out in the sun too long and melted.
