  1. Has anyone ever said "That's too much becan!!"?
  2. Is that really such a thing?
  3. LOL!!! Great analogy!! Those things would rust up and tear the end of my fingers up!! I had forgot about that! Yep. I had a guitar from Western Auto as my first guitar. I don't remember if it had any name on it. But I do remember that very high action!! That didn't bother me as much as trying to play chords up the neck. Further up the neck I would go, the more out of tune it would get. Just no intonation on it at all!!
  4. Yep... I remember that!! Unbelievable the people we had on that newsgroup.
  5. Ahhh..... Black Diamond strings. Bought many of them individually. I don't remember ever buying a whole set. I used to get them at the drug store. Didn't know it at the time but the pharmacist was a guitar player. Ended up learning a lot of stuff from his son and nephew. Looking back on it now... it really is amazing how clueless I was!!
  6. @Base 57 Melvin, or as I call him Mel!! Great guy. Really fun to talk to! Yep, you know who I'm talk 'bout
  7. We still have a locally-owned and run music store in the NOLA area. It is really in Kenner, a suburb of NOLA. C and M Music Store. He has stayed in business by adapting to the new market. He has as many guitars hanging from the walls and ceiling as GC. Even has a custom line somebody is making out of car parts!! Has a full service repair shop that includes a Plek machine. And he will match or beat any price you find on line. And if the owner (forget his name) is in there you can strike up a conversation with him and he will gladly show you pics of his guitar collection. They have 4 locations over the southern Louisiana and Mississippi area. Last time I was in there I was wondering about how those acoustic amps sound. He has about four or five different types from Fishman to Fender and Ibanez. When I asked about them he started giving me all the ins and outs about them but recommend the Fishman hands down. He said the quality was just so much better. Then found myself a few days later in a restaurant with a guy playing acoustic slide blues. It sounded great and the amp he was using? Yep, Fishman!! When I go to buy one, I will get it from C & M. There's still some local shops around. But to stay viable and profitable, they will have to adapt.
  8. Great point!! I don't know who's responsibility it is to develop them. Intel makes drivers for their chipsets. And so do other hardware/firmware manufactures. Yes the mobo makers tweak them, but if they had the driver to start with!!? IDK Just doesn't seem that hard. BWTFDIK!!
  9. This is very true. Almost all mainboards I know of that matter use RealTek. And they can't afford to hire good driver wizards to develop ASIO drivers for RealTek on-board sound?
  10. I was the same way. Found it extremely useful. After getting the hang of it!!
  11. Hell, I thought you was about to finally showed us how to do it. Only to be let down again!!

    Hi Barbie ?

    I will end up watching it too. Grand kids. Good to know it will be somewhat worth it.
