Wasn't his latest diatribe against Scrotnig? A "proper" 2 page thread, and I don't think Scrotnig even got a chance to respond to it before Gary exploded

And no screen caps?!? WTF you are getting slow!

Well shit... the new 00-17SE came in, unboxed it and went to strum it to see how badly out of tune it was.

Well, it was bad enough that the E,A,D,B & E were loose as a hell. Now, the G string on the other hand was so tight that when I did the strum it popped.

So much for the nice setup that Guitar Center does on their shipped guitars. No wonder they are having financial difficulties.

Only good thing was it made me realize I needed to also get some strings in and for now I'm going to continue running Martin strings on the guitars (with some experimentation). I've got 12 sets for each of the Martins (Martin SP and Retro) and 3 sets of D'Addario EJ16's, 3 sets of EJ11's and one set of NB1152's on order.

Will try the other strings out to see how their sound compares, but since the local shop mainly carries Elixirs (which generally don't sound as good on Martins) I want to have plenty in stock for a while.

 

And yes Gary I got to spend some more money. Now I may take some of that mad money and have the G.C.Conn coronet that belonged to my wifes dad refinished and mounted in a wall case since I found a photo of him when he was in band.

Then again, I may leave it in the condition it is in, which isn't to bad really, you can tell it was actually used by him. Some of the silver plating has worn through in the normal "holding" places. The serial # is in the mid 99xxx which indicates it is actually from the 1907 production period. So when you consider that the thing is 110 years old, it looks pretty damn good.

How come you didn't buy it from Sweetwater? I don't think I'll be buying anything from GC after purchasing my guitar(s) from them (I bought one for my wife and one for myself).

At the time Sweetwater didn't have a 00-17SE in Whiskey Sunset in stock.

Not to mention that I had a GC coupon for 15% off... which reduced a $1999 (before taxes) guitar to $1839.99 delivered to my door. Same guitar from Sweetwater would have been $1999 ( I have to submit a tax form to Texas for Sales Tax collection myself to be "legal").

And it looks like they still don't have any in.

It's a really pretty guitar - no "shiny" to it as it's done more in the style of the old 30's type guitar but it has a REALLY nice tone to it - at least the strings that are still there and now tuned do.

Even with replacing the strings myself, I still come out ahead on purchasing it from GC. I probably should have had it delivered to the Tyler store and taken the 2 hour round trip drive over there to pick it up. Would have resolved the "tuning" issue at the store.

That's nice I like the color.

Gary, can you (or does anyone else want to take a stab at) explain why you have this section

[ATTACH=full]1196._xfImport[/ATTACH]

 

When you don't keep your site up long enough to have enough posts that would ever even need to think about being archived? Since you wipe regularly (good sanitary practices I guess) your site never has content old enough to need to be archived.

Gary... your moving a recent thread over into the archived area because of the above post is hilarious. Thanks for the lulz.

Oh that's what he's done is it?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

So now people like me who had posted to that thread can't even read it.

 

Gary knows absolutely nothing about running forums, and his site exists solely to enable him to attack people and then delete or hide his abuse and lies afterwards. He can't launch his attacks elsewhere since every time he does it gets deleted and he gets banned.

And now to get his simmering rage going.

I'm waiting on 11am to get here so I can make a quick run over to Tyler and pick up a Fishman Loudbox Artist. Already paid for it online and just need to go grab it and bring it home to daddy.

I think he made that category just in the off chance his forum he keeps anything on his that’s older than five days.

Gary, what you call a "trick" is what most people would call an auto defensive response to a comment that had validity. You don't keep your site online long enough to need an "archived" forum node. That's for posts discussions that are years old, not days/weeks. So sorry, you lose once more in the battle of wits.

No Gary, that is NOT the purpose of an archived forum for most real admins. The purpose of an archived forum is for topics that have exceeded a certain point in age to be moved into and the discussion closed so no further comments can be added - and to top it off they are generally viewable (read only mode) by the general public.

Gary is absolutely hilarious. He talks down to people who have run successful forums for many years and says we are wrong about things. How many successful forums has Gary run...that'd be none....

Agree 110%..even if [uSER=21]@tracy perry[/uSER] ran "slow" forums, he had 1000,00,0000,00.0 % more activity than ANYTHING Gary has ever ran, or for that matter, done in his life.

 

Gary, what's in your freezer this week - boy or girl?

Ahhhh.. the jealously and rage is strong with this one

 

[ATTACH=full]1200._xfImport[/ATTACH]

 

Gary, ye old sod, my sites had more real user activity than yours has in the last 5 years.

And I guess once someone quits doing something all their knowledge evaporates.... or maybe that's only in your world.

Most people have a tendency to retain knowledge - are you saying that you can't?

 

BTW, it's only around 28 pipes - not all of which I smoke. And honestly, my blog has more interesting content than your so called forum does. The only place your "forum" beats my blog is in sheer hilarity.

Rage building nicely it seems.

Gary's jealousy of my successful site rears its ugly head....again....

He'd be even more furious if he realised that probably a quarter of my site's posts go in "The Pit", a forum not visible to guests. So the activity Gary sees isn't even the whole story.

Oops that's let the cat out of the bag.

I thought Lisa wasn't staff though. Them on Bash forum keep going on about her not being one now? She doesn't carry a staff title either on the forum like before when she was staff.

 

Them on Bash say it because it's true.
