Agreed. Bound to get worse before it gets better. That said, I'm feeling somewhat energized. Perhaps if I find something on a local level that can be nudged towards the good, I could support momentum well beyond my purview.

That, or I had a joint before breakfast. Who can say?

andy fuchs:

So you, can die from a guitar if you play an amp with a 2-prong cord (not grounded) or a reaaaaaaaaallly old amp with no power transformer (from the 40's or 50's) where the chassis is connected to one side of the power line. If you are playing an amp like that and touch another guitar or a grounded item (water pipe, radiator, sink) you can take the power line across your body....Les Harvey played guitar in Stone the Crow, a Scottish rock band. In 1972, Harvey was electrocuted and killed on stage when he touched his microphone with wet hands. His is perhaps the most famous case of on-stage electrocution.

Rich in Washington:

I just bought a Squire Strat on a lark for really cheap and I was pleasantly surprised at its quality, playability, and sound. It was of the Affinity series.
I intended to hot rod it up a bit using spare parts I've had for years but ultimately gave it to my son for Xmas, as he was without a guitar.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:36am
TheLoneliestMonk:

that's why i recommend richie, the most reasonbly priced guitar tech in the city
  11:36am
andy fuchs:

If all your equipment is grounded (three prong cords all on the same circuit), it's generally safe. Sometimes if it's different circuits or there is a wiring error in the building (it happens) you still could risk it. You can buy a cheap tester at Home Depot that plugs into the socket to check this. Worth it if you gig a lot in crappy bars and clubs that might have wonky wiring.

in many ways pretty purdie reminds me of ali - a lot of wind. but, he has the chops. i would say i believe that PP possibly sweetened a few beatles tracks - most notably the rolls on Daytripper which are totally un-ringo = other than that nope.

She sounds fucking great to me. The deep stuff is there and the superficial stuff doesn't matter.
