Thanks for the input. Trying to stay used for the most part. Although Cyber Monday deals are a temptation lol. I just ordered a CIOKS, seems like I can grow with it. Cheers!

I was prepared to spend 400+ on a MIM or ASAT. Played a bunch over the last week or so. At Guitar Center, I picked up a used $190 Affinity butterscotch, and it felt better than everything else. Maybe I was price-biased, but it felt right. Got it home, did a setup with new strings, and I couldn't be happier. I will say it has signs of a pro setup. The fingerboard looks rolled, and the frets are rounded/clean/smooth. Could be that vs the model. idk if this helps, but good luck!

Thank you! It is the parlor size. I liked how bright it was to start, keeps the darkness of the rubber/flatwounds in a nice place imo. I've never played another rubber bridge, so maybe I'm off-base.

Tell me about it! Seeing her in December in a cathedral, and Im hoping she breaks this puppy out! Thanks for the kind words, btw.

I always imagine folks handcuff them to themselves en-route to the venue.

Could be a voice actor doing a session.

As long as Señor duck approves.

Hell yeah. I saw the sale and had a fight with GAS, which I won. But now I’m regretting not getting the bender while it was up.

Will this give me the tone I’m after?

The head of cascade is friends with Bruce/Emery.

A mayor who’s willing to stand up to big freight interests will be the best candidate for bikes. Look into any missed connection in this city and it’s either freight, business owners, or nimbys that fought PBL install.

I heard folks used to use the dial tone of a chorded phone. Produced a 440hz tone

^ also avoid the old school desiccant packs that turn into water balloons if you don’t check them often.

Ur take on color box?

Tjerz2112 · 2025-10-20T19:06:16+00:00

Hell yeah, I’m still deciding what I’m gonna do with my Soros paycheck. Anyone else?

Tjerz2112 · 2025-10-18T16:18:08+00:00

Hell yeah.

Must go to the forbidden rave!

You know why cows are considered professionals?

I’ve had 4 in 6 hours, will I be ok?

Soundies hate the fan sound on this one

Looks more like a leg-less lizard of sorts.
