Beer & Nuts....

[Moon]

ok for starters, the streaming thing is not clear for me, but perhaps it will be clear for moon. Do we need to change anything ?

There been so many updates and releases on microsoft webbrowser that it isn't clear for me when the streaming works or not. As far I can tell, it is a combination of what version and updates of browser you use, what version and updates of media player you use(?) and what bitrate the mp3 has. So best way to solve the problem is to check these versions with somebody where it does work.

I can't do anything for the songs that are hosted elsewhere, but if you find a song on kara-moon that doesn't work I'll be happy to have a look at it.

Can I have my Tequila now please...euh... I mean... Can I get my beer now ?

Hey Martin, so who's the favorite this weekend?

Hi Fred. Haven't really followed pre-season testing. So I haven't a clue. Gonna see if I can dig up some information. I'm still rooting for Kimi. The Ferarri should be more reliable than what he was used to at Mclaren.

Ok here is a real question I've been wondering....ebony vx. rosewood fretboard. One better than the other or it doesn't matter?

I'm no expert on this. There's pros and cons for both. Ebony is harder but less oily than rosewood. There's a difference in sound and that should probably be decisive in your choice. My Hagstrom has a resinator fretboard. I had never heard of it before. In the add it says: "The resinator fretboard offers an articulate sound of high-quality ebony but with more consistency and durability". For what it's worth. All I can say is the damn thing plays like a charm.

Cheers

Thanks, Martin!

It would be a lot easier to buy a guitar if I was more experienced (knew everything to look for) and played better. You know what they say about a fool and his money, but I guess that's never stopped me before    I probably just need a little bit of luck!

most important Fred, make sure the neck is straight, look down from the machines level with both edges, the neck and the strings should be parrallel,
give the machines a twist to, they should be smooth,
check the intonation and press the strings down up in the high range without an amp on to check for buzzing,

the sound is mostly a personal thing, different pickups will effect that to.. these other things are more important

[Fred S]

Thanks Ed. Good tips! Hope I get it right! Still deciding between two models; classic and studio. The big difference is in the pickups; ceramic vs. alnico (or something like that), and then just some cosmetic differences (oh yeah, and the studio is $700 cheaper )

cheers everybody,

... now where's my tequila?

you can't handle the truth...hah, tequila is a womans drink, in Mexico the gals drink tequila while doing laundry

TBH I can't even handle tequila these days 
Back then I could drink a bottle and then drive home (yeah I know, I was foolish).
Regarding "gals drinking tequila while doing laundry in Mexico", in my father's village they used to give poppy-soup to babies to put them to sleep. Now beat that

In the south of France they drink something called 'Tequilla frappé'
It is a mixture of tequilla and tonic.
To drink it you have to cover your glass, hit in on the counter and drink it immediatly, dagnerous mixture
