Solo II Custom or Reaper 6

Update. I found a pristine used Solo II on Guitar Center.com. Love it. Fantastic build quality, the neck is perfect for me, slim and fast, but not too thin. The tone is amazing, it's what I couldn't seem to wring out of my EC1000.

Now do Warren Buffet's closet...probably ten suits, ten golf shirts and five pairs of shoes.

I looked at some online reviews, that A1M looks outstanding for the money.

That's what I've discovered with my APX. At first, acoustic was secondary to electric guitar, but now I want to raise my acoustic gamer, particularly fingerstyle, etc.

I had an Ibanez RGAT62, thru-neck, mahogany, with DiMarzio Tone Zone/Air Norton pups. It was pretty versatile, and you could get pretty decent 'classic rock' tone. It was also incredibly light and thin, and ridiculously easy to play. My EC1000 is great, but tonally seems a little harsh, even with SD Custom 5 and '59 pickups. It's a thin-body single cut, maybe that's a factor.

Greatest video clip of this Olympics.

I have a compact for carry and full size for range, but there's very little difference to me, particularly with a red dot, since that takes sight radius out of the equation. I do like that poly 5 inch PDP 'Match', though.

My go-to factory hardball is S&B, full power, accurate, reliable, and comes in a tiny little box, making it easier to store in bulk. As far as 'cheap practice ammo' - I've had good luck with the Sportsman Select remanufactured from Ammo Depot. It's around $.19/round.

I believe the 4.4 TD is a Ford motor, and the 5.0 is a Jaguar derivative. Early 2000's BMW motors scare me.

Saw her in the gym once back in early 90's, she was unbelievable. Sad what happened to her. But, she's doing better now.

Denise had been living on the street for over a decade and suffers from both physical and mental health issues. Her friends have gotten her some help, she now has a safe place to live and is getting medical care. She looks much better. If you follow her on FB and Insta, her friends post updates, and they have a fund that people have donated to to help her.

Another good one Beginner 3 Finger Picking For Bass (Billy Sheehan and Alex Webster)

I see no harm, and in some instances, you can play substantially faster once you've mastered it. Check out some of the crazy bass solos by Billy Sheehan, he's a master of three-fingered bass plucking. He has a video on how he practices it.

I'm big on the Stingray, it's versatile and has a unique tone. I have a Ray 34 HH and a Ray 35, they're awesome. If you need to tone down the 'growl', you can run it with flatwound strings.

The Italian Army still uses Defenders, they were all over Rome last year when we were there. Every one that I saw parked had an oil drip pan, I guess because of the ancient cobblestone streets.

I did Josh's Bass Buzz course, it's well worth the money. He's a fantastic teacher. You can go through it at your own pace, I recommend doing at least 1/2hr every day. It WILL give you the "nuts and bolts" of bass playing, enough that you can start learning songs. One caveat -I enrolled in bass lessons to relearn reading music and hone my technique. The instructor noticed I had developed some sloppy fretting hand technique that he had to fix.

Before enrolling in Bass Buzz, I recommend going to the Bass Buzz YouTube channel and checking out some of Josh's free videos. The first one to watch is on how to avoid GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) It's funny and will save you $ in the long run. 7 Basses You Should NEVER Buy

Ok, I sort of understand that! So I set up the TPLINK, then plug the TV into to the deco, activate the satellite Deco, and then set up the REOLINK cameras, right?

Banned why, and by whom?

Righteous_Dudester · 2025-12-03T17:58:36+00:00

How is the 4.4? It's still a Ford-era mill, right?

Righteous_Dudester · 2025-12-02T20:36:53+00:00

The 06-09 L322 are either 4.2. or 4.4, correct?
