I hope it works for them.
GM paid well over $500 million back in the day and that was only for 50% ownership. I guess US taxpayers get to subsidize the loss.

You need to spend more time in country dance halls.

Gibson Basses / Re: You guys have probably already seen this but...

Why would this be desirable? It's a beat up parts bass of unknown origin, not a Gibson body, doesn't look like real mahogany, the story he was told about the neck tells me it's not a real Fender. Where's the beef?

Rickenbacker Basses / Re: 4000 pictures
« on: January 26, 2010, 06:14:14 PM »All my Ricks (6 in this shape) differ in how/where the horns are. I always thought it was an age question and not a model one. Or maybe just the result of manual labor.
You may be right. The two 4000 examples in this thread had the horns in the same location as the three post-1995 Ricks I owned.

There are other solutions for that, most of them involving the use of weapons.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Today's sheep and oatmeal news
« on: January 26, 2010, 11:37:35 AM »Eating innards and liking it is something you either learn as a child or not at all a friend of mine once said. And he's right: I tried Haggis in an Edinburgh restaurant (actually a fancy place) for the first time about a year ago and it tasted great. Recommended. Like all folksy recipes it is probably very much down with how much love it has been prepared.
But if you are from a well-to-do family like Dave is where eating innards was frowned upon ...
Next week, class, we'll learn about the enjoyment of eating humble pie, another innards dish, this time prepared from game.
Uwe
Well-to-do? Tell me more. Is there a family fortune somewhere I missed hearing about?
Best description of oatmeal I heard was that it tastes like something someone ate and regurgitated. Who knows, maybe the innards would make the taste palatable.

Hard to say without knowing the club's overhead. OTOH set cover too high and you lose too.

« on: January 25, 2010, 06:36:19 PM »I am still annoyed that NBC yanked Tom Snyder off to make room for Letterman.
Feeling our age, are we?
Still annoyed that your horse and buggy got replaced by those newfangled horseless carriages?

Other Bass Brands / Re: Ritter gaf on TB

I thought the Ritter gig bag company was Swiss, not British.
Of course the Swiss would never be involved in international finance.

« on: January 25, 2010, 09:51:00 AM »News this AM says that the Washington Generals (the team that plays the Harlem Globetrotters) has offered the 6'5" Conan a gig playing with the Generals until he can return to TV.
That would be hilarious, and it would be great publicity for all of them.

Nice positioning of reverse and nonreverse.
Is the bottom center the one you bought that had half the body broken off?

Rob, I'm sure you can do something at your end about the VAT. I just got a guitar DVD from a company in Eindhoven, 19% VAT was listed in the cost but not charged to US customers.

Beefy, but not overwound or distorted.
