It seems as if your voice to text genie has been drinking tonight, Beal.
Is that what it was? I thought I'd read it again after last night's beer wore off, but I still don't get it this morning. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I can relate. Siri and I got in a fight the other night. I was trying to find the shortest way home and she couldn't find our new address. When I pulled in the garage, I asked for my current location and she gave me the neighbor's address. Our house has been there for 12 years. I yelled that she was wrong and called her a dumb bitch. We haven't spoken since. |

Mark, at your age you should know better than to ask a woman for directions.

Actually, I was amazed that a man *would* ask for directions! LOL!!!  |

When I told my wife about it, she asked why I didn't just use the GPS on my phone. Then she refused to believe that phone GPS and Siri's were the same. Last night I had to show her how to use the remote again. I wish women would refuse to ask directions, or at least pay attention to the directions that are given. |

Whenever I "wished" for something my mother used to tell me "There are people in jail wishing they were out but they're not getting their wish either. Now go clean your room." So I wouldn't hold your breath on yours, Mark.
Probably the best advice I was ever given too.

Location: SoCal | Still wonder if you could mold the top to create an archtop, X brace, lined 'f' holes, fiber on underside if needed for strength, floating bridge, etc., to SCREAM Ovation. Heck you could turn a bowl over (or similar) to be the mold of the top using moisture and pressure. |

Location: SoCal | Well, Charles probably would have played one if he had joined the Tommy Dorsey band and it could be a good acoustic and a good electric combination. Toss in a set of flat strings...a ltd run would show if it had potential.

You all have probably seen this before, but this is a Celebrity archtop...if it's gonna be an archtop, it'll have to be better than this...I think, but then I like the design of the iDea! Whadda I know! But for an OFC3? No thanks. Just sayin'... |

Yeah but that's only because you probably have a matching shirt. |

No way! It would clash with my thong. |

Location: Colorado | Back to the pre-amp...because someone asked about what the folks who do this a lot need or think....I did a lot of pit work...It always has to work...always. It must be quiet...dead quiet. It has to sound great and accurate. If I needed a different sound...I used a different guitar...if you need nylon sounds - use a nylon...not faux nylon through presets. Adjustments during performance need to be easy and fast...it also should not take months to figure out how to use it...heck I even put an OP 24 in my OSH...I know sacrelig...but the old two knobber stereo was a bit wonky at times...stereo guitars don't happen much if part of an ensemble, a tuner is nice...but there are lots of options if it doesn't have one....not a deal breaker either way...either needs great and accurate battery life...or ease of changing. Amazingly one annoyance (on any brand pre-amp)..can be the volume pot or fader...gotta be quiet...pots tend to be quieter than faders....in the orchestra pits...you will always see in the rhythm section cans of Cramolin....Broadway producers hate crackles and pops. That is my perspective...Cliff...what is needed on the solo/duo front....btw...sold the purple Karmann Ghia....gotta 1965 rag top Mustang now....Beal...was yer dad making guitars in 65? another btw...this is for live playing...recording ...different set of rules...most engineers prefer the live sound of guitars from their 10K mics...to be able as Brad Davis puts it...get the fairy dust in the sound. No Things here. |
