  1. Next thing for me will probably be a nice MIM Strat.
  3. Don't spoil their party.
  4. It's my favourite pastime.
  5. *looks up what pastime means*

    I feel bad for them.

  6. Like $5 for a pack of ten at a hardware store. Don't have to be particular.

    I wear ones with a string between them so if I need to take one out I don't lose it.
  7. So, election day in the US today. Who's gonna win people?

    Yeah, I need to get round to doing that. I might test Telecasters first. I'm at a stage where I'm wondering if I need an amp or a guitar. Pretty much both, but I want to know what I need next.

    Maybe it's just me but I've found Telecasters to be relatively less versatile than some other guitars. Though, Edge's tone on Vertigo live is fucking unreal and he's used Tele's for that all the way. It just seems like a very niche clean/light OD style crunch based guitar. Very Springsteen.

    That being said, I still want one.

    Look into PRS's. I'm no spokesperson even though I own one- its all a matter of preference- but I've gotten wicked Metallica tones out of it, and I also play Death Cab for Cutie and shoegaze style sounds through it as well. All depends on string gauge and pedal engagement, but its versatile without a doubt.

    I think Obama has this one, though there is talk of him winning the popular but losing the electoral college. I personally don't think Romney has the pull at this stage. If you had polled the country 3 months ago, I honestly believe it might have been even tighter. He just doesn't seem to stick to one story enough for someone to feel comfortable with him.

    I've tried a friend's PRS before and I wasn't a big fan of it. I don't know why, it just didn't feel right to me.

    Hmm, I had a memory of you saying you had bought some quality ones.

  12. I only use those for concerts I'm attending, not for guitar playing.

    And I actually rarely use plugs when we gig, since our monitors (mine anyway) is generally mixed pretty well, so I get a good read on what I'm sounding like without being trapped in my own head like you are when you plug your ears. Easier for me to match my voice with a louder guitar than it is to go from muscle memory at this point.
