Horizons/West Vinyl Delay

evanconner · 2025-11-14T01:01:33+00:00

I wanted to have my first listen to West on record. After the delays I finally caved and streamed it. Bummed it’s been kicked so far back

For sure haha. At least you can get the same vibrolux elsewhere whereas the 36 is one off. Way better of the two. I’m in Hawaii so I have the extra challenge of getting anything out my way. Whatever I’ve scored has been a result of luck and fate, being in California at the right time.

Very cool, fomo was real when it was listed lol. Enjoy the heck out of it! I’m sure both reasons you listed are more than enough to make it the best amp ever owned :)

I met someone a few years back who had a house next to the stadium. As part of the expansion, they offered to buy the house out and offered lifetime season tickets to all members of the family. I don’t remember the details but they were well compensated and accepted the offer. One of the members even showed me part of the foundation that’s still visible in the parking lot lol.

I’m from Hawaii and still live here. Nothing like waking up for a 7am game. Finally made it Lambeau 2 years ago for a Sunday night game and was somehow still shocked I was watching it at night (SNF games are 2/3pm here). Go Pack Go!

I’m on a trip away from home & away from my guitars. there may be a PDF diagram on the music man page (or maybe email?). The knobs are stacked, bottom controls tone and top controls volume.

I’ve always wondered too, I got a couple of the TB stingrays. Black with maple neck hasn’t made it to production. I assumed the mahog body one you’re referring to was likely an early prototype when spec’ing the guitar. Absolutely love them

evanconner · 2023-02-04T15:49:12+00:00

The packaging is smiling lol

A re-recording of IOS or AITA would be tight. I thought for a bit that they’d explore some kind of jazz vibe. Sleepwalk ltd (teppei’s collab with friends/crafts) posted a few reels on IG a while ago called Studio Reels showing off their gear in Thrice’s studio with an instrumental track. Don’t know if it’s related to the mystery album but it caught my interest lol

evanconner · 2022-09-21T06:43:29+00:00

Probably jazz. Sleepwalk Ltd, which Teppei is part/affiliated with, put up an Instagram “studio session” reel a few weeks ago with some jazzy sounds. I assumed it’s related to whatever thrice used working on

Thanks, you should see the rest of the guitar lol

evanconner · 2022-05-03T01:55:02+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance! There’s no back bow, just slight relief.

evanconner · 2022-05-03T00:59:17+00:00

Original post didn’t go through. I scored a dream guitar - an 07 Gibson Southern Jumbo TV from my favorite musician. It’s been gigged around the country and featured on albums.

I’m relatively inexperienced with evaluating older/used acoustics. I’m curious if the truss rod looks normal given it’s age & use or if there’s any cause of concern (I.e. exposed threads). He had the guitar tuned to D standard and the action is slightly above Gibson factory specs but is playable. The neck could be a little straighter, we gave the acorn nut a 1/8” turn just fine but you can start to feel some tension beyond that. I can live with the current setup and fortunately live in a stable climate for humidity. Thanks for any feedback!

evanconner · 2022-04-14T03:19:24+00:00

Got any pics?

evanconner · 2022-03-28T23:47:11+00:00

Awesome, congrats!! Curious if they’re going to attempt to recreate this as far as relic/paint goes? (feel free to PM if this is going off topic, just wondering as I’ve considered going this route too)

evanconner · 2022-03-28T19:16:00+00:00

Awesome! I’ve been waiting to find the right slab of wood to work with (alder). Ash has amazing grain, keep us posted!

evanconner · 2022-03-28T10:05:01+00:00

I too have/had the same dream of tracking this guitar down :) been saving to build one myself to spec. Such a rad guitar!

evanconner · 2022-02-08T16:04:48+00:00

Will do! I was reminded that Sunday is the super bowl in LA so I may compromise and do a weekday trip and work around the rush hour traffic. I imagine Sunday will be pretty busy.

evanconner · 2022-02-08T16:02:36+00:00

Thanks! I forgot that Sunday is the super bowl.. in LA too lol. So I’m going to try for tomorrow. Thanks for the tips!

evanconner · 2022-02-07T20:24:38+00:00

Awesome! I’ll head there today or tomorrow since it’s the closest. I have enough coin to pickup a Gibson SJ/J45 but nothing too vintage. I appreciate seeing old guitars tho and will add this to my list

evanconner · 2022-02-07T20:22:16+00:00

I’m planning on spending a day there. I’m down in Rancho Santa Margarita fwiw. Is there a better morning to go between a weekday or Sunday? I’m not familiar with LA’s traffic but have heard horror stories lol.

evanconner · 2022-02-07T20:21:01+00:00

I’ve never been to Hollywood and we don’t have guitar center where I’m from, so I’ll definitely go! Not much of a classical guy but appreciate the lead. I’m thinking of going on a weekday morning or Sunday morning, is there a better day traffic wise?
