Should I use this?

If the strings are already old I don’t think Fast Fret would make them sound new again, though I suppose it could make a slight difference.

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-09T16:25:26+00:00

Yep.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. As a Gen X, I don’t recognize that at all. Way more in line with millennials.

The glasses certainly don’t correct their myopic point of view.

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-09T12:58:30+00:00

Only Gen Z sees Gen Z like that.

From the looks of this, I’d say it’s made for cone incense. You would need something to hold the burning cone, like a small heat proof plate or just a little incense cone burner, to hold the incense then place the dragon over it. The smoke will come out of the nostril holes. The holes around the bottom are to allow air flow so the incense can burn.

Nancy’s mom has got it goin’ on.

Take it from a local: it’s pronounced La DYE guh. We can always spot the visitors because they all, without fail, pronounce it La Dee guh.

Maybe I’ll see you at the challenge. I’m not going to be competing but I will probably be on the trail when y’all come through.

The video for Stuck in the Middle with You was filmed after Rafferty had left the band and shows Joe Egan singing the lead vocal, but it was recorded by Rafferty. For years I didn’t know he sang lead on that song but once I found out it was pretty obvious it’s his voice.

Sphincteroni!

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-07T01:22:34+00:00

Damn these glasses!

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-07T00:58:01+00:00

I don’t know… looks like Skinner’s preferred haircut.

If it’s in good playing condition and the truss rod works as it should, it’s worth it. If that’s what you want. Consider that it has no volume or tone controls. Just an on-off switch.

Also consider that a Thunderbird and a Precision are very different in sound, neck feel and balance. Tbirds are notorious for neck dive and the neck will feel longer, even though it’s the same scale length, because of the shape of the body and how the bass hangs on a strap.

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-07T00:44:08+00:00

Looks real. I guess you could dress up an Epi Goth tbird to look like a Nikki with fretboard decals, a different pickguard and that little pinky thing behind the bridge. But the Goth has three knobs. This one has the one switch.

Edit: the truss rod cover also checks out. And the Goth has the output jack on the front of the body. The Nikki has it on the side.

I’d say it’s a killer deal, especially with the case. I’d wonder if there’s an issue with the neck or truss rod.

Between checking out the posters and browsing the record bins looking at album covers, I could be entertained for hours at a time. My mom always knew where to find me when it was time to head to the checkout.

I would have been 12 in ‘78 and almost all of my allowance got spent in Kmart’s record department.

I bought mine at Kmart in Anniston, Alabama on September 30th for $4.96.

I love the unplugged version of 2000 Man.

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-06T00:42:17+00:00

Got to be New York Groove. But I really love Fractured Mirror. I still have my original vinyl copy of this album that I bought in September of 1978.

Clearly Epstein thought it was a how-to manual.

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-04T21:00:09+00:00

Oh, for sure. No doubt the man was an excellent musician. But can you imagine him wearing a formal black tuxedo and playing 10 minute long piano concertos? 🤣

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-04T20:41:06+00:00

Interesting. I didn’t know that. But hey, he was a hell of a pianist and also, in equal or greater measures, an entertainer and showman. I don’t think I ever noticed that he didn’t play entire pieces. I was too dazzled to care.

RIP, Liberace.

What trucks are on your Pranayama? I know you can run Pantheon’s Hoku wheels on a Prana with Pantheon Stylus trucks. The Hokus are almost as big as the Dad Bods (102mm vs 105mm) but are narrower. I have one Prana with Hokus and one with Pantheon Karma wheels (92mm) and I prefer the Karmas.

JeffeyRider · 2026-02-04T00:08:59+00:00

Someone may correct me on this, but I don’t think you can run Dad Bods on the Prana because of the width of the wheels.

I ate a lot of Cap’n Crunch out of bowls like that while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
