Great starting price, wish I were in the market. It should sell quickly.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: What Bro Country Sounds Like to People Who Don't Like It

While I'm at it, here are some of my old favorite country trucker songs.
From the 50s, covered many times since.
Two from the 60s.

First, let's back up. Bro-country has absolutely nothing to do with trucker songs like Dave Dudley's Six Days on the Road. Not even remotely related. Trucker songs have always been a part of country music.
Bro-country is all about retarded goobers whose life supposedly revolves around partying in the back of their pickups with barefoot girls in cutoffs. Sung with fake accents.
You can watch old country shows on YT. Porter Wagoner, Wilburn Brothers, Bobby Lord and many others. You'll find that the hosts and guests talk the same way they sing. That's a big deal to me.
Whether bro-country or any other "modern" country, when I hear someone with no particular speaking accent put on a ridiculous exaggerated drawl, I cringe.
Bro-country in a nutshell: Maddie and Tae's Girl in a Country Song. Brilliant takedown. I saw them on the Today Show when this came out. Two Dallas teenagers with no noticeable accents.

You lose 5 points of IQ every time you have to listen to a bro country song, so I won't post any.

Everything I've seen from that shop is way overpriced.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Burton Cummings makes a stunning move
« on: April 12, 2024, 07:48:52 PM »
I don't know about that. Burton Cummings' voice is so distinctive. The vocalist in the video doesn't come close.
But it's a petty move and probably will not help Cummings' and Bachman's reputation.

When I had my '76, the two-saddle bridge never gave me a problem. Still, the Hipshot is a nice solution.
