    Been a while

    Wow it’s been almost a year since I’ve been here. I’ll have to catch up. Finally landed a FT gig after Nov 2016 let go. Been holding it together for 2 year+ with sporadic contract work. To celebrate, I got a camp Guitar. A Guild Jumbo Junior. Still honeymoon period but so far so good. On the same level of tone and projection as a Taylor Mini at 1/2 the cost. Oops I guess I missed sharing I sold my Ovation 12 and got a Guild 12 for only a few $ more. I was so impressed with it I decided to give the Jumbo Junior a chance unplayed.

    I played a 70's era Guild bass the other day at a local shop--- odd shaped thing -- neck through -- very very well put together

    I am - although I'm still more of a GibsonJunkie...

    I lucked out at a Guild event and got the D-55 for a ridiculous price and the other two six strings when Fender sold Guild and they cleared out the factory inventory. The only one I paid close to regular price was the 12 string.

    not sure about mobile but when I copy 'image address' on desktop and paste to [img]paste here[/img], they throw in an extra "blahblahwww.i.imgur.yaddayadda"

    that extra "i." messes up my attempt to paste the address. I just delete it out and the pics work.
