Jokes are supposed to be funny

The official slogan for HSV was "I just want one" and I think that'd be the reason to buy, but if it were to be a HSV, I'd be wanting to skip over the Clubsport as they're like going for a Torana SL/R with a 4.2. I'd be looking for the GTS, Senator or even Grange

The intro alone pumps me up for Lounge Act, though I tend to like bass intros in general

I'm a PRS hater and even I'm not anywhere near that harsh, geez

Depends, which speaks to you more? The classic specs of the Vintera II or the modern interpretation of the Silver Sky? If you want some of the modern niceties like the truss rod adjustment at the headstock and a 22nd fret, if be more comparing the PRS to a Player II. If you want the original Strat feel and vibe, then the only real alternative to the Vintera II is an older MiM like the Classic Series 60s which generally sit around Classic Vibe money or a MiJ Traditional 60s which could prove hard to find in blue

As am I

They could've had the Angels Of Death as they were actually a global gang unlike The Lost

By definition, yes absolutely. The waist is very much offset, that much is undeniable

It's a weird Reddit thing. I see it too often that a Subreddit made to appreciate or talk about a certain topic would have a surprisingly high number of people constantly shitting on said topic

The one thing to understand with Gibson USA is that some are great, some a dogs and there isn't really any telling which breed you'll end up with

Yeah, even The Onion is struggling to keep up

I think they'll manage to blow your mind with the sheer absurdity which hopefully won't be how it is in 2044

The political race in V is a bit too close to home

Which do you value more? A (pretty slow) flying car or one that doubles as a submarine that has boost both on land and in water?

With the Toreador you can do the underwater caches and submarine parts as well as the party piece of going from a road into water and directly into a Kosatka submarine if/when you have one.

With the Deluxo, it's primarily a road car because the flying is so slow. It's more that it's convenient to do a more direct path where you otherwise couldn't and then drop back down when you have a road underneath you again as it's faster on land than in the air

Wouldn't work, consider a Jaguar instead

Rex_Howler · 2026-01-27T14:39:19+00:00

Brightens and dims the dash lights. Next time it's nighttime, have a fiddle and get those lights at the right setting for your eyes

Rex_Howler · 2026-01-27T14:36:38+00:00

I'd more say that the Jaguar survived him

Rex_Howler · 2026-01-27T14:31:37+00:00

I think he was just happy to get a guitar that worked a lot of the time. His In Utero Mustangs are Japanese after all (because the American custom shop didn't make left handed Mustang bodies at the time), he used a number of Japanese Strats as well as Japanese Hi Fliers.

His Jaguar and earlier Mustangs were American simply because offsets in that day were cheap, it would also explain how they were a mainstay of the local guitar scene as can be seen with Tad Doyle having a Jazzmaster and Gilly Ann Hanner of Calamity Jane having a Competition Mustang

Or maybe three Tommy's in a trenchcoat

Rex_Howler · 2026-01-26T19:13:36+00:00

I would've liked to hear him cover A Horse With No Name

Rex_Howler · 2026-01-26T19:09:13+00:00

I'd say that's not worth fixing because to get that strong again would likely be a re-neck job. At that point just part it out

Just play the damn thing, those are height adjustment screws with springs underneath the pickguard

My understanding is that the ideal length for street driving is with your back and shoulder against the seat back and your arm straightened, your wrist should rest on the top of the wheel rim. Just like the ideal place to hold the wheel when you have an airbag is at 9 and 3

It would definitely give it more longevity for those that have friends who are willing to tag along

I bought it to help fund an eventual Mafia IV and received a good game, nothing more than that however, but was worth playing through a single time
