    have you thought about putting orthotics in the All Stars?

    I bought one more plugin yesterday, got a killer deal on a really cool Scheps 73 EQ when i got a free VU meter plugin.

    NAD!

    The Line 6 AMPLIFI 30 practice amp arrived today. It's a sweet, compact little thing that you can control from your smart phone or tablet via Bluetooth.

    Or, you can simply use the dials, if you just want the basics. 30 watts in a compact package. Wow!

    That's a nice looking strap! It looks like you get a lot for your money from Walker and Williams.
    I like straps too and have way too many of them (and want more). I bought a D'Andrea Ace Xs and Os reissue strap a few weeks ago to use with my Strat.

    I love good quality leather goods! Can't seem to have enough.

    I think I have some kind of love and admiration for those things that actually were made to last a lifetime. For instance, I love my Zippo lighter (just a plain chrome unengraved and unstamped standard lone) but I just don't bond with iPhones or anything that will lose its value/substance within a few years.

    I even try to buy everything that's durable, from clothes to instruments and accessories. For instance, I refuse to buy unexpensive boots that have foamy soles or bad stitching. I spend a little more and order handmade ones from a Spanish/Brazilian family factory in Săo Paulo, they make some good leather boots and shoes... These are my brown ones, I played the latest gig in them and gave them some care:





    Oh and yes, I like Walker and Williams a lot, I forgot to mention that I ALSO ordered a new capo by them:

    I REALLY like that too!!

    How would you rate the strap - light - med or heavy in construction? Padding?

    I looked at the others on the site and they just blew my mind on price if the quality.

    I'd say medium by the description but I'll certainly review it here as soon as I get it from the mail.

    The headstock strap adapter from Walker & Williams has already arrived! I ordered it on Wednesday. I'll let you know if one of their tiniest products looks good after I see it tonight.

    I pretty much have most everything I need, someday I'll find a deal on a Thinline Tele.
    This week I bought some accordion harness straps. a couple of acoustic sound hole blockers, and a hand full of thumb picks. (My right thumb got smashed when young, and even quality plastic thumb picks don't last long!)
    Big spending!

    I got really close to clicking the buy button on an AmPro Precision, but reason and a good jam on my Jazz Base persuaded me that it along with the Rickenbacker and Hofner do all that I need.

    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    I broke the G string (why is it always the G string???) on "Shimmer," my Robin Trower Strat. So I decided to do the same thing Trower does, go to a heavier gauge string set. I didn't go quite as heavy as Trower, but I bought a set of Ernie Ball Slinky M-Steel 11-48 (011, .014, .018p, .028, .038, .048).

    And just in case it turns out I don't like them, I also bought a set of Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt (.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046).

    Are these made with Bi-cast leather or full-grain leather? Bi-cast will eventually flake.

    I don't really know what bi-cast leather is. Never heard of it before.

    After richlite, HPL and fake salmon sashimi, are they faking leather now?

    The description says leather, and the company seems to be quite well praised so I bought it online... When it arrives I'll review it.

    If it's this bi-something, too bad, and let's chalk one more point up for Fender: their road worn leather strap is definitely top notch:

    Well dad-blast it, gosh a mickle dickle pickle, gee willy wobbles, dog my cats and rowrbazzle! While re-stringing my Strat I broke the low E string. How does one do that? Well, it might be because of over-tightening on a locking tuner? I don't know. All I know is that I now need to go find a replacement string. An Ernie Ball M-Steel .048. How easy it that?

    I can buy a set of six for $23.99 on the Ernie Ball web site. I think that's more than I paid for the original set.

    But, it's a good excuse to head to my local guitar shop. Maybe I should leave my wallet in the car, though...

    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    I may have neglected to mention that I ordered Rubber Soul (2009 remaster) last week. I just listened to it while writing notes in my recording journal. Now the album is much more familiar to me as I've surely heard every song on it countless times over the last 50 something years, some obviously more so than others. I remember my guitar teacher trying to teach me Michelle back in '72? '73 '74? He was really into them and tried to impress upon me how good they were. I was a little underwhelmed as I wanted screaming guitar solos like Smoke on The Water and riffs like School's Out. I get it now.

    Just ordered the song books for Rubber Soul and Abbey Road so I guess that counts as guitar-related.

    Yesterday, I bought a used Scumback S75-PVC 65 watt speaker to use with my Avatar 45 head. I put it in my Nerby 1x12 cab. It sounds great!

    Between the Avatar 45 head, Nerby cab, Scumback alnico speaker and PRS SE Bernie Marsden, in the past month and a half, I've put together a fairly light weight rig (the head and cab are both about 30 pounds each) that gets awfully close to Beano tones for slightly over $1k! That's something that I've wanted to do for 40 years!

    $1.99 + tax. It was D'Addario, not Ernie Ball, but it was nickel-wound and .048". Good enough for me.

    I did look around but (thankfully) nothing said, "Take me home."

    The Four Horsemen were seen saddling up, when Conquest got a call on his cell.

    "Forget it, guys, dismount. He did buy a string at least."

    Let's see, I bought two sets of Dunlop locking strap buttons, just the part for the guitar, so I can use my straps with the Dunlop locking mechanism on all my guitars. Also ordered two 2032 flat batteries for a couple of my flat tuners.

    I bought a quad of TRS 1/4" x 2 TS 1/4" so I can use the inserts on my interface (and mixer). Already tested out a compressor in the insert of the interface, initial results promising. unfortunately likely to ignite GAS for more outboard recording gear.

    That's beautiful. Back looks like cotton and would be super soft and comfortable. Sweet. Want to hear what you think about the other one you ordered too. I've got several in my wish list on Amazon and if you think it makes the cut I'm going to get one.
