    Stardust V3 (good news for us stardust lovers)

    ya mine weren't hard to draw. it was impossible... like a straw in a dairy queen milkshake too hard to draw. I cut a slot bottom to top to allow air and I went a bit at a time and tested. I cut up to 1mm from the top. they worked fine on my 2 older batteries (1 of which died recently). I am...

    I get that sometimes allready lmao... I can see having volume levels low enough now to use my acoustic mandolin. oh ya, our bass player Rob bought a new bass. one of those epiphones that looks like Paul M's. very nice and quite light. sounds good too. he's buying an amp like mine for himself...

    Nice acoustic playing Link (listening to Rhoads now) and now again we have 3. finally got the guys to just agree we are not going to bother with a lead player. I'm going to do solos on mandolin and I put harmonica in today as the lead player cancelled last minute (he was trying to call me this...

    I turned 48 this year and the body went to hell. I've never been overweight in my life. always skinny. I can barely eat this year without gaining weight. mind you I lost 10 lbs yesterday alone. did some tech work on band stuff and learned one song. I'm truly dying today.. lakota rub on my arms...

    Stardust V3 (good news for us stardust lovers)

    I will have to admit, for my double chocolate, the stardusts last way way longer than my boge dct. one has cracks but i've dropped it a thousand times, hit the edge of the garbage can shaking out old juice... but, my newest riva battery I can't use them without modding. I had to cut a slot with...

    funny we don't do any CSNY yet. 3 America tunes though. That little lick in Ventura Highway is fun when 2 guitars hit we have rehearsals tomorrow. I have to learn my songs today. Started a new job this week and so glad we got rained out today. Landscaping. I'm too old for this crap. I ran a big...

    Have to say things are progressing nicely. It's so nice hearing multiple harmonies going. We had a second drummer show up this sunday. was interesting with 2 kits... he had a killer voice for doing the high harmonies. I started jamming an eagles tune and it was like a new thing having someone...

    That's what I'm talking about. Why we decided against the one guitar player. He was overplaying everything... come on, you don't need to solo when someone's singing do you? I do the keys on my roland guitar setup. it's very finicky so I try to keep it simple, generally just play some organ (get...

    the money isn't honestly the issue.. we just want to sound good and be on the same page. Rick the drummer, picked up a cool new toy. a projector. plugs into the laptop. now for learning songs we can just put music and lyrics on the wall. also will be cool for scenes behind the drums when we...

    we had rehearsals with just the 3 of us last night. we are talking again about maybe just staying a 3 pce. we've tried a couple lead guitarists so far. I'll have to play the mandobird more if I am to do solos.. we'll see. I have another lead player coming out when he's back from hawaii. the...

    I had a father that drank everyday after work. he ran body shops and always had the vancouver city police contract come with him. I remember as a 10 yr old coming home from christmas parties, dad was drunk and driving, and he'd just put his business card on the dash. whenever we'd hit a check...

    Best vape ever and why it matters

    been vaping over a year. I have to odd cigar every few months to remind myself they don't taste as good as vaping... cigs just smell rank to me now, yet my subconscious every once in a while thinks I want one... I smoked almost as long as you. it gets easier for sure but we always will seem to...

    Totally agree. and playing bars enough years and watching the patrons will surely change your outlook on drinking. instant a hole just add alcohol brings new meaning. watching guys in suits come in be mellow, then be tossed out near the end of set 3 made me ask "am I like that when I drink?" and...

    And I have to inform the newest lead guitarist that joined us he won't be needed back today... I feel bad but it's just business. great player but he can't control volume levels. when an acoustic gets overdrive and has feedback problems, there's an issue. truth is it's more gendre. we are...

    I can't deal with alcoholics. To refuse help obviously needed, then proves it was needed said it all... after finding him outside in a pool would have ended their time with me for sure. a sequencer would have made a better partner

    AW IMR's -- What am i doing wrong or missing the boat on here?

    sounds like the charger is overcharging. doesn't really matter what batteries. if they come off too high of a voltage then the charger isn't shutting off early enough
