Hollow and semi-hollows were just too expensive when I was gigging for anything I liked, and was afraid of roadworthiness and didn't like not having a big club in a gig bag while waiting for a taxi.

^I love the bass players. I can get the filter pedals they don't like for a song and do horrendous things on guitar with them, thanks to their fickleness and evil.

That and I have yet to see a wall of middle-aged manflesh wearing SRV hats and grimacing playing bass at a GC.

Point bass players!

fuck YEAH. that place gets more insipid and asinine every day. there's sooooome good stuff... but getting harder to enjoy the good bits with all the other annoyances. like, digging through poo for gold somebody swallowed. then they switched it up on ya and most of it's pyrex. not worth the time anymore.

and y'all Thin Stringed Brohams flip some stuff pretty quick too. thanks!

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SRV MEANS.

but yeah, fucking people at GC, blasting away old ass metal riffs. i can't imagine working there. blegh.

I often wonder how someone can play a hollow/semi-hollow guitar, but hate feedback.

This can be shortened to: "How can people hate feeback?"

i swear to fucking God that if i had to work at GC i would shoot myself. i always try to play weird amusing stuff when i go there to give the guys a break. one day i had them falling off the stools laughing playing Bakersfield country licks over "Kashmir."

I feel like we're about to become Chemistry Letterman, but...it could also turn into Pyrodex.

Could be fun for the whole family for an afternoon.

We aren't talking about chemistry here technically, we're alchemical lettermen, causing wishful thinking to change a truck into a fuck with the addition and subtraction of a letter or two.

Ah, PBS, you taught me all the wrong things in 1975.
