The Show Your Work Thread

Hang on, everyone knows I'm the best F A T failed musician Relic around here.

Wow, isn't taking paid vacation time from your regular gig to - as requested, go hang with the manufacturers that endorse you the opposite of a "failed" musician? Oops.

[Seshmeister]

For the record, had I been "up myself" wouldn't I have been here more often "bragging" about becoming an endorsed artist last year, ya think? But note I haven't been... barely mentioned it; because it's not something to brag about, it's an honor - that I worked".

We're all delighted for you and thanks for a very funny post it genuinely made me laugh out loud on a pretty dismal Monday morning here.

How dismal can it be at the expensive pub?

I would show respect to a bum wiping windsheilds with a dirty rag for booze money before I'd show you any. You just keep going on and on telling everyone how great you are, how popular you are and how successful you are but all you're really doing is proving what a fucking jerk off you are. Ric Flair's more humble than you are. You sound like you're the president of your own fucking fan club.

Ive got a cool fax from Steve Blucher here somewhere, from 1993.
It's like two lines. Sent new pickup, hope this one's ok. It was.
C Dawg, imagine the five best moments of your live. Ever.

Then narrow it down to three. That's what I want to experience, and this involves getting off the couch.

M'kay Socky... keep telling yourself that...from the couch.

[ashstralia]

Dismal how? It's common knowledge you Scots don't go to work till sometime Tuesday afternoon.

Sad part is that'll sail over the intended party's head.

I'll never say a bad word about Steve Blucher because long before my association with Duncan began, in the early '00s he listened to me at NAMM and totally prescribed the perfect Virtual Vintage set for my playing... dude's got great ears, I only played for a few minutes and he NAILED it. Though today I have Duncans in 6 out of 7 guitars, I still have that set in one of my Strats. I haven't encountered that level of intuitiveness again until I stated working with Duncan.

They're still great pickups. They have an airy clarity in the hi frequencies I like.

Like they don't naturally compress as much. It's hard describing sound, isn't it?

I shook hands with LBJ at LAX. I was only about 5 at the time. I didn't know who he was at the time. I just stuck my hand through the fence because everyone else was trying to but couldn't. I crossed the equater on a ship in the US Navy near Singapore and became a shellback. That's a big thing amongst men of the sea. And last but not least I had my picture taken with Erik Estrada at the LA car show one year. I won a fishing contest once too, but I cheated. I've also been to China, Japan, Thailand, The Philippines, South Korea, Singapore Hawaii, Canada, Alaska and Mexico. I've been to New Orleans, Chicago, Milwaukee, St Louis, Indianapolis, Dallas, Tucson, Phoenix, Vegas, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Seattle, Yosemite, Death Valley, The Alamo, The Astrodome, The Sears Tower, The St Louis Arch, Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Ontario Motor Speedway, California Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Dodger Stadium, The Fabulous Forum, The LA Coliseaum, Anaheim Stadium, Jack Murphy Stadium, Texas Rangers Stadium in Arlington. I've seen the Dodgers, The Rams, The Raiders, The Texas Rangers, The Harlem Globe Trotters and the teams they played in person. I've been to numerous concerts, been deep sea fishing, deer hunting in Utah and I've been to a White Castles in Columbus Ohio. Basically I've lived a boring life.

Yes, keeping them in for tonal variety at the moment, I have more than enough Duncan points to replace them with classic stacks, or YJMs or whatever, but in no hurry...

What I DO want to do with that Strat however, is upgrade the bridge block to an FU brass Big-Block... it made a huge difference in the Sunburst one.

And you've been to Kings Cross, too!

Nope. Americans don't need to pay for it in Australia. Australian chicks love American men especially squids. I'm not above paying for it but if I'm getting it free i don't complain.

If you come here you'll need to visit West Hollywood. You'd feel right at home there. Jay does.

So do you live in one of those caravan parks where your whole house is a skinny metal apparatus on wheels? And the outhouse is literally the outhouse. Used by at least 1400 people every day.
