Good looking guitar. Love that headstock!!

Nice. 2tb finally coming down in price. [edit] For those like me that has an older motherboard (no Gen 4 PCIe) they have the 2tb Gen3 version for $109 Crucial P3 2TB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD

What is the authorization process for this? Reading the website over at xils and everyplugin.com I am unable to determine what authorization system is used.

I think this one belongs in the other thread, you know, the lame thread!! : )

Loved the tone Kenny. That is a nice guitar!!! Great playing as always. Nice tasteful runs. Did I say that's a nice guitar!!

It's not bad at all. I would go see this guy in a bar! : ) If he changed his band!! umpf!!

I think it sounds like any new vocalist relying on an "Autotune FX". Which is to say it's not bad. At all. Good work.

LOL!! Yeah, what seemed like nothing back in the day was just the price for admission to be able to play somewhere!! I have always made sure I had a vehicle that could carry equipment!! A truck, van, hatchback, station wagon, didn't matter as long as I could put my amp and cab in it it was good to go!! Flash forward to tady: I have a Honda Accord (180k+mls) and a 2011 Mercury Grand Marque (30kmls!!) Believe it or not, I can fit all my stuff in either one!! Getting it all out? Another story for another day!! And I have contemplated getting rid of a lot of my stuff I am not really using. But some of this is just good sounding stuff!! It's hard to part with it. Yeah, I suffer from that too!!

Guess who?

I can't get it out of an "F" hole!!

Yes, just turn guitarbwith the bout down, wiggle it till the pick is in line with sound hole, and then flip it with sound hole down and pick falls right out.

I never realized it was a problem for everyone. I just assumed that everyone had thier own way of doing it.

It will be. No damage whatsoeva!!! In fact, I always keep a spare pick inside my box guitar. JIC. I know how to get it out with no issue.

Not if you know how to use 'em!

I have often wondered why they haven't done this already.

I have a Mk IIB without the mods. Out of all my amps it has the best clean and distortion sound. But to get the killer distortion, it has to be cranked up. Got to get those 6L6's hot and sizzling. But when it's loud, it's really like magic. Unbelievable sweet sustain. I also have a Maverick and a Mini Recto, and a Carvin Nomad. All three have EL84's for the power tubes and those all have nice singing distortion too. Not near as much bass as the 6L6's. I do have to say that my fav is the Mk IV I have. I got it running 2 6L6's and 2 EL 84's. Yep, sweet stuff that Mk IV!! Three channels, lead boost, switchable EQ, sweet spring reverb. Lots of other features that put it in a class of it's own. Is that the one with the carpet on it? Yes they are!! All mine sit on amp stands. Haven't lugged one of those around in a few years!!

I have a way to get it out in seconds. Developed the technique when I first learned to play many many years ago.

Yep, me too!! Watched the whole thing!? None, whatsoeva!!

Upon further reading this seems to be the case. At least that's what they (Boogie) is claiming. I love my Boogie amps, all of them. And all the pedals I have from them too. Before Gibson bought them out, they were some of the best imho. Well worth every penny I spent for them. But almost $4k for a combo amp? Come on! I wouldn't care who designed it and who's name was associated with it, I ain't buying for that kinda money!! I am a big Dream Theater fan, love John's sound and his playing. And I almost bought one of those "Signature" Mk V's they put out. But it was priced not out of my reach, but a lot more than what I was willing/wanting to pay for it. This new Boogie is going for almost twice what the JP "Signature" MK V was going for!!! :0 Ouch!! I wish them well, but this first offering ain't looking too good to me. But maybe I ain't the crowd they want.

Had think about that for a minute!!

I received an email from Guitar Center about a new Boogie amp. Get this: "MESA/Boogie skips the Mark VI amplifier to go straight to the Mark VII" And here is the real kicker: "Mesa Boogie Mark VII 1x12 90W Tube Guitar Combo $3,799.00" Wow!! Gibson really putting it's "Mark" on that brand!! Unbelievable really.

RIP ole boy. His playing and songwriting influenced me more than I ever thought. A lot of my music I write today is a direct influence of his style of rhythm and lead playing.

Thanks very much Paul.
