you made it to page 130 Doc, that record will be very unlikely broken !
The main thing as you have learnt alot from your past painting experience Doc. If you have any paint questions the new member Guvna has 30 years experience, building the DIY lap steel

That Fender Super Twin amp is rated at 180 Watts RMS of pure valve power, makes my ears ring just thinking about it.
sounds good Doc, you can crank up that 180 watts when there is a domestic outside your unit, that should kill the sound of arguing hahah

haha thats it Doc, even if the guitar is badly tuned - or grab a slide bar and flick it on bridge pup and play the highest notes you can with your Dr Evil face on hahah

I'm sure DB would agree, since he was going to use a similar tactic to deal with some noisy neighbors, speaking of DB, I've notice that he hasn't been in the forum much lately, I'm guessing that he's been a bit busy, which is understandable, hope he's okay healthwize.
He did mention that he'd had some 'unexpected issues' over the Christmas period and the first part of this year that were taking his time up. But seconded on hoping he's OK.
yep, hit me with any paint/stain questions.Quote:
