Keith Richards just wouldn't look right with anything but his tele

OM45GE - Posted - 01/29/2018:  11:17:56

My main electric guitar is this Probett Rocket III. It's sort of a cross breeding between a Strat, a Tele and a Les Paul. The head stock is a Tele shape over a Strat outline. With a bridge Humbucker and two P90's it's amazingly versatile.

DeanT - Posted - 01/29/2018:  14:55:48

cool! Never even heard of them!

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/29/2018:  14:57:38

wow...I had to put on my sunglasses

OM45GE - Posted - 01/30/2018:  05:27:21

The tone an volume pots are also push/pull switches that let you split the humbucker coils or use the humbucher with the neck P90. With the five position switch you have access to a lot of different sounds.

DeanT - Posted - 01/31/2018:  10:57:27

I had a National reso guitar with a P90... still kicking myself for selling that...

OM45GE - Posted - 01/31/2018:  13:22:27

Cool. I've never seen one with a P90.

DeanT - Posted - 02/01/2018:  17:54:54

I looked but I can't find any old photos

OM45GE - Posted - 02/01/2018:  19:06:11

Here's a current one with a pickup. Interesting guitars and reasonably priced, at least considering what the vintage ones are going for these days.

Mule Resonator Guitar

Chet Atkins used to play a Del Vecchio resonator occasionally

Did you (do you) play slide?

DeanT - Posted - 02/02/2018:  09:34:41

Yes!!! Sometimes I even get out the old slide and use it on the banjo...

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2018:  11:40:33

I could never get the hang of slide guitar. I always sound like crap.

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2018:  11:44:54

Never tried, but at a drunken jam years ago I played slide banjo using a Bic lighter

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2018:  13:18:30

There was a guitarist at a fiddle jam camp I go to who played nice slide. He did a class on it and made it look and sound easy but I still sounded like crap.

DeanT - Posted - 02/02/2018:  14:25:50

I use my old clip on tuner sometimes for a slide

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2018:  16:10:07

How does that work?

DeanT - Posted - 02/03/2018:  07:26:13

not well, and not very loud, but good shock value

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2018:  07:42:28

Here's a multi-use slide:

a la Danny Gatton

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2018:  09:40:08

Exactly. I couldn't find that video.

DeanT - Posted - 02/03/2018:  15:53:00

That's my kind of slide!!! I cut my favorite slide from an old whine bottle neck, and it's curved perfectly for a radiused tele neck

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2018:  17:50:13

Cool. I've got several different slides, both metal and glass. I can't play for beans with any of them.

DeanT - Posted - 02/04/2018:  10:05:29

My wife loves the Pats and Brady... and I hope he get his ass kicked... could be an interesting game

I guess I’ll root for the old guy. Besides, I’d rather go to Boston than Philly when trucking. Ha

OM45GE - Posted - 02/04/2018:  14:43:26

I'm not a big football fan but I'll watch this one. I hope the Pats and Brady win. I like seeing records set.

TB is a really nice guy. It doesn't make the national news and certainly won't sway the folks who hate him, but he does a lot of good stuff. Plus he always gives credit to his team, takes the blame when it's due and appreciates the fans.

DeanT - Posted - 02/05/2018:  01:07:22

That was an awesome game right down to the last play

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/05/2018:  06:29:44

I enjoyed that ,, too bad there was a difficult reviewed touchdown play. I like to see clear decisive plays in a championship game.

OM45GE - Posted - 02/05/2018:  12:31:46

It was an exciting game for sure.

Some of the rules seem ambiguous, like when a receiver becomes a runner.

DeanT - Posted - 02/06/2018:  12:18:14

Well, now it's time for Nascar to start!

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/06/2018:  12:28:50

For me it’s Blackhawks/Coyotes game next week at Gila River Arena,, then baseball spring training in Tempe and Mesa.

OM45GE - Posted - 02/06/2018:  12:50:28

Formula 1 starts March 25th.

DeanT - Posted - 02/07/2018:  06:16:59

And Winter Olympics!!!

OM45GE - Posted - 02/07/2018:  06:27:55

I'm REALLY looking forward to those.

DeanT - Posted - 02/07/2018:  17:52:21

ME TO!!! Would love to see Jamaica take a bobsled medal!

Remember Eddy (the Eagle) Edwards ?

OM45GE - Posted - 02/08/2018:  05:06:37

Yes, i remember Eddy. Coincidentally, I was just reading about him in an article about the winter games. How about Vinko Bogataj?

DeanT - Posted - 02/08/2018:  16:25:20

I wonder if Lindsey V will crash again

OM45GE - Posted - 02/08/2018:  18:58:45

Lindsey is amazing. I just read an article about her workout regimen. I think some Navy Seals would have trouble keeping up with her. She's a beast.

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/08/2018:  20:44:53

I’m watching curling ,,,I wonder how much they work out....lol

lots of figure skaters crashing last night

OM45GE - Posted - 02/09/2018:  12:06:15

Those quadruple jumps are laying them low. A lot of otherwise great skaters who just can't do quads aren't making the cut any more. I think it's too bad.

DeanT - Posted - 02/10/2018:  06:51:27

ski jumper are soaring today, one of my favorite to watch

OM45GE - Posted - 02/10/2018:  11:28:49

That's one of those sports that I KNOW I can't do.

DeanT - Posted - 02/10/2018:  17:30:31

I could do it once
