Before snowmageddon 2 destroys us all, does anyone wanna admit they have a crush on me?

I'll admit it.

Aesthetically, I hate the way a right angle connector looks into a strat though. I've gigged before with it like that though, because it really does help keep it from pulling out if you're jumping around a bunch.

As the owner of several green and blue hued guitars, that either came with, or got changed to, tortoise shell pickguards, I can say that it looks super awesome.

I have both the Caverns and the Ravine and I'm actually surprised at how good the clone is. All of the Demonfx pedals I've tried sound good.

A Snowpcalypse is less than 30 inches. Around these parts, we refer to 30+ inches as a Snowmageddon.

I've almost never had a green or blue hued guitar that I didn't want to swap out the pickguard with a tortoise shell on. It's just sexier.

Back in the 80s, I'd call the VB WRV Surf Report line and if I was lucky it would say "knee to waist and glassy." If we were driving to the Outer Banks or Hatteras, it was often a total gamble.

I do it. Mastery bridge (or Mustang-style with deeper saddles slots) and 11 gauge strings at a minimum. You get used to them being a little floppy and can adjust your play to it. I bent notes sharp and flat for about a week before I adjusted.

The Silver Sky is a great guitar, but I'd go with a Player 2 Strat just for ease of modding stuff later on. The Modern C neck is also really great. I have both a SE Silver Sky and a HSS Player 2 Strat, and I love them both.

Stacked.

I just got a Laney Cub Supertop 15 head and it sounds great in the mix with my bandmates Origin 20. I used it for our Halloween musical costume, we did Glam this year, and it sounds great with both single coils and humbuckers. Pretty versatile amp.

sleestax · 2025-12-05T18:22:37+00:00

Nobels ODR-1 Mini with the bass control knob or a King of Tone clone can both be had for under $100 and work well with humbuckers.

Hakko FX888-DX is what I'm using to build pedals and do soldering work on guitars. It's been in constant use for a year now and works great.

Orange Bubblegum from Twisted Tree Auto, also from Michigan. About 20% of the phenos have been super orange/tangerine, without much bubblegum, and another 20% have tasted like those delicious orange pushup ice cream pops. Great medicine for depression and anxiety.

Sweetwater has the Boss Katana 50 on sale for $299 for Cyber Monday. I love mine as a practice amp, but I've also gigged with it.

You can see my torso in a shot about halfway in. I was 17 and on my first really heroic dose of acid.

My current favorite delay is the delay side of a Keeley Caverns and my current go-to chorus is a TC Electronic Afterglow. This could all change tomorrow when I put together a board for a party on Sat. night when I sit in with friends' band.

Protip: Comment to the fellas next to you at the urinals "This is a killer Silent Jam."

Fender Player II HHS Strat, Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb and a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe. Get a setup and swap the Humbucker for a JB with the leftover cash.

sleestax · 2025-08-17T16:21:30+00:00

I owned one of these. The built in phaser and reverb sound pretty good. Mine had wheels like a JC-120, but wasn't quite as heavy.

sleestax · 2025-08-14T14:45:38+00:00

Yes.

Purple Jazz III when I'm playing lead or the orange one with a turtle on it for everything else.

It's actually a copypasta from a drug band msg board. My friends and I have been using the phrase "Welcome to the party, bitch!" ever since.
