On a semi-related note, my new avatar is a jackstone urolith!
Try saw palmetto for that urolith thing.

Our projected one inch turned out to be seven.
I hadn't touched my snowblower since prepping it for the season in late October. Started right up!
The first couple of years I waited a bit too long to get out the snowblower; then I decided that a mere 3-4 inches was enough. Works faster that way.

Thanks, Dave.
I blame the IRS.

Surprising! I can't tell if he's plucking or even stroking the strings, or using a pick verrrry gently.

That would be good. It will give them something to put time into instead of focusing on screwing up the country.

« on: February 09, 2024, 10:28:17 AM »I keep expecting to see photos of new Epiphone basses. Imagine my surprise with what I find instead.
Could become a new saying:
"Look at the Epiphones on THAT one!"

In my mind's eye, I see what you did there.....

« on: February 06, 2024, 11:17:08 AM »We've gone from the second snowiest winter on record to almost no snow so far this season.
We had about two weeks of cold in Nov/Dec., but since then it's been 30s to 50s daytimes. Not much snow (so far) other than in the mountains, but March usually evens it out.

Fender Basses / Re: Squier Sonic Precision Bass Demo
« on: February 05, 2024, 05:38:50 PM »Squier seem to be hitting it right out of the park.
I’ve been hearing a ton of extremely positive user reports. And a lot of local ones.
I've had a couple of Squier basses and they've been good. In particular, I had a silver Jaguar bass that was a good one - a friend bought it and enjoys it. Of course, It had Labella Deep Talkin' Flats on it when sold.

Oh, it keeps popping up in K-12 schools with controlling principals. I thought we resolved that in the 60s.

I also believe that the auto-tune sound has by now become de rigueur for certain types of music just like distortion belongs to rock guitar though it was initially unwanted by producers.
But I get you, Taylor is at best an ok singer. She is no Whitney or Mariah who had - no matter what you think of their image and music - one-of-kind singing ability.
I guess I'm missing something - what are the tipoffs to someone using autotune? Not sure what to listen for.
