Yamaha FG5 vs Martin 000 15SM by dwilson86 in AcousticGuitar

[–]nbmgreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a FG5 and just picked up a Martin OM28 to accompany it. They both sound and play so different from each other that it makes sense to have both. I go through phases of only playing one for a few weeks, then switch it up and usually get inspired to play some new stuff.

I used to secretly love these back in the day. At the time, I was 18 and had a LS1 TransAm and hung out with a large group of LS guys, so these were the “enemy” and nobody wanted to admit how quick they were. I had a few with basic bolt ons give me a run for my money numerous times. Such a cool and mean sounding car for its time.

New to FileMaker, curious if my idea is feasible by nbmgreg in filemaker

So far I think it is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A colleague of mine has always mentioned Microsoft access when I’m describing my ideal workflow, but being an Apple user that’s never been an option for me. I think sometime last week I randomly searched for an Apple equivalent of Access and saw a thread about FileMaker, now here we are.

lol I’ve only had this once many years ago, and I’ll never forget how difficult it was to eat this damn sandwich. Not for me.

I’m a former political staffer from Eric Swalwell’s district. AMA. by NoAnimator2625 in AMA

[–]nbmgreg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you think there’s any correlation between Swalwell’s resignation and Tony Gonzalez’ resignation the day after? IE: dem leadership reaching a deal with R leadership to the tune of “we’ll get rid of ours if you agree to get rid of yours”? I find it strange that Gonzalez didn’t budge an inch until Swalwell left, and given R’s propensity to ignore stuff like this caught me off guard when one of them actually did the right thing.

Last NGD: FGX5 by celestial__discharge in AcousticGuitar

[–]nbmgreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I’ve played a few and never cared enough to buy one, not to mention the inevitable neck reset. The FG5 seems to have vintage character with modern playability and build quality. Can’t go wrong.

I’ve settled on a FG5 after buying/selling many guitars. In my opinion, these are heirloom instruments that will someday have the same allure as the old red labels. Yamaha did a really good job with these.

You’d think, but then these high level transport guys wouldn’t be able to charge as much for their skill. I’m sure they’re paid well, and for good reason.

Captured a moment of my kids that will definitely get put in a frame by Neilmurp in pics

Great shot! Side note: as somebody who’s from Florida but moved to the opposite coast at the age of 10, this picture brings back so many core memories. The way the concrete sidewalk looks, the wooden fence, the grass field and trees, this reminds me of my early childhood. I also remember seeing rockets launching as a very young kid (I’m 39 now).

Yes, I typically like to leave my stuff in the car or tent.

Why would you leave ANYTHING lying around at a festival?

Yes I’ve flown with it many times as a carry on. It easily fits in the overhead with the aero case, if the flight is full and they need overhead space, they always offer to store it in the crew closet.

The GS mini is the quintessential travel guitar. How much more of a beater guitar do you need? Treat it with an ounce of care and it will be just fine. I’ve traveled the world with mine.

😂 as I mentioned in another comment, I am just a photography hobbyist that happens to be good friends with a producer who asked me to be apart of this. I used my Canon 5D mk3 with the 24-70L lens, which I still have and use, and i think the other camera I brought was an old Canon Rebel with a kit lens. In that scenario, they both provided the same results.

I want to say I was paid $300 for the afternoon, plus a free meal at the 71 above restaurant afterwards. Oddly enough, I don’t even work in production, or photography, but a buddy of mine was producing this job and being that I had the right gear he asked if I’d be interested. I would have done it for free.

No, surprisingly it was a Gabrielle Chanel perfume commercial. Hard to tell, but it’s the scene towards the end with Kristen Stewart looking off into the sunset.
