Re: Cleaning out the basement - do I have too much stuff?

We're trying to downsize. That's a sore subject for me. I'm planning to retire from corporate life at the end of this year. The wife is on me constantly about "downsizing". That means she wants me to get rid of a lot of music equipment, right at the time of my life when I can devote full-time and e...

Re: Cleaning out the basement - do I have too much stuff?

One can never have too much stuff (amps, parts, guitars, speakers, gear, faux leopard-skin spandex jumpsuits, wigs, etc).

However, it is possible to have too little space to keep stuff in. The remedy is to acquire more space. :wink:

Re: ugh... people sometimes

I've moderated/administered several music related web sites. I financially supported one (on the QT), only to be rewarded with dysfunctional, aberrant, rude, anti-social behavior from a few bad actors that spoiled the entire site; and did not renew the hosting or associated licensing/name/etc when t...

Re: brexit has really messed up UK amp builders

I've had to deal with the equipment manifest / 10% of value deposit problem when touring from the USA into Canada. It is a PITA. The first time the we paid the Canadians in US Dollars and they issued the refund two months after we exited ...... in Canadian Dollars worth 30% less. Been there, done th...

Re: How to fix Mini Maglite 2 AA Battery Model?

Forget the "repair" kits Maglite sells. I've been through three of them and they're useless. Complete waste of money and time. I don't buy Maglite brand any more. After dissecting them, and learning what flimsy garbage they are, I've moved on. However, it is rumored that Milo Minderbinder has a work...
