No way I would spend 5 grand on a travel guitar setup for TSA or rapid temp/humidity changes to destroy in a year.

The only thing I have in my pedal notes is "I want an Aqua-Puss and a Sweaty-Puss or whatever those things were called." Looks like a Mahogany GS-Mini with an SKB EPS Foam case would be my best bet for a travel guitar but I am not sure it is really worth dragging a guitar around everywhere.

Happy Birthday Dan

Yeah, I always remember Lt. Hiccups being blurry but Jim was pretty sharp the last time I saw him.

Did not like the Rainsong Parlor. I actually though the Taylor Hog GS-Mini sounded better.

But there is no creepy guy there to give me big discounts.

^^See, creepy.

Ah, I can get a discount from the creepy stalker guy.

Happy Birthday

That is pretty interesting. Going to figure out where to find an iRig.

That would require an amp of some sort wouldn't it?

Looks like I am going to be traveling non-stop for the next couple of months so I am thinking about picking up a travel guitar. Potentially a Rainsong P12 Parlor CF unit. Sound clips and videos I have seen make it sound pretty good. Just not sure if it is a $1k better than the Composite Acoustics Cargo Guitar. I assume no one here has ever heard these?

Happy Birthday

Yep, better for me now. Thanks Todd.

Interesting. HC was pretty much non-reachable much of the time on my Fios 150MB down 50MB up service. Hopefully it will be back to normal now.

Really slow for me for a few days. Freezes up halfway through loading a page quite a bit of the time if not just sitting doing nothing. Not noticing it on my iPad so I thought it may be Safari.

Happy Birthday Colin. Maybe I'll buy you some cake tomorrow.

Happy birthday.

No pedals around here. I have found the V-Picks to be an awesome pick up as they sound almost as good as the Blue Chip and do not slip in my fingers at all. They are super annoying though being crystal clear as I keep laying them down and then not being able to find the damn things again.

Very informative. I would like to see that Brazilian Steve Anderson. I kind of like the sound of the J45 and this morning most strings were in tune, though E was a bit sharp so that is different. Maybe it is settling in. The case is far inferior to the Martin and Boucher cases so it is difficult to keep the thing at a proper humidity level so I am hoping it is not doing much growing/shrinking in there overnight.

Dog Fish Head Chicken Pot Pie Brent, please note the massive biscuit.

Thinking about returning the Gibson. Every time I take it out of the case it is almost a full step flat on all strings. Can't keep it in tune for anything. Not sure if it is a fault in the nut or bad tuners. I am getting some tinging and minimal changes when turner some of the tuners.

I got sick of constantly having those calls with Mark and gave up on my Rogue stuff a long time ago. Still have an old Magnum 88 power amp laying around somewhere that has not worked forever.

Ended up with a reported 18.2 inches in my neighborhood. That last 2-3 inches that fell after I cleaned up really made for a shitty morning but I made it out and am off to work. Stupid snow froze and stuck to my windows so I had to chisel most of it off. Next time I will come out and night and knock all that crap off. Pretty slick this morning.

Happy Birthday
