She did, indeed:

Here in the Compton thread.

araT · July 26th, 2009, 05:40 AM

Hehehe, yes indeed, though I'm happy to oblige Juicebox's law & post pics here too!

Dang, those look good! Tara, I'd guess your favorite all depends on which one and what you're playing at the time?

Arat broke 2000 posts! Thanks for the contributions! The Jets look sore very nice!

You got it - I still can't pick a favourite at all, this is the first time there's an equal #1 in the house..

Thanks Salty!

Tara, I thought I'd decided the Dyna'd Club was the keeper if I had to choose between it and the Filtered 22-62 and intentionally slid it under the bed. Broke the Classic out the day before yesterday and played it for almost 3 hours. Almost wish I hadn't done that.

araT · July 26th, 2009, 08:15 AM

Touch choice Dave, very tough - I'm glad I'm not in your shoes, I'd keep em both..

(I know I'm not helping)

ishtar · July 26th, 2009, 08:21 AM

dafreeze, there's probably more than one of us that would love a cclub.... And I am wrestling in my mind about how to work out the acquisition, but I feel once I have wrestled and trouble shot (okay, trouble shooted for all you englush teachers and guns/guitars/cars foks..), there would be another object of desire looking on the horizon.

I can't stop the madness!

Another thread idea...

dafreeze · July 26th, 2009, 08:38 AM

The Country Classic (Gent) is the more killer for straight out Rockin', if not just for it's look. And I'm an old rocker. But these Dynas in this Club just sound so sweet. Both pups, little reverb, delay and a lot of volume. The Filters in the 6122-62 just aren't as pretty when compared. And these Dyna's have more of the GreTsch blurble I had in my head.

But I'm not kidden. Popped a string on the Country Club the other day and even though I'd intentionally put the Country Classic away a couple weeks ago, pulled it out. 3 hours later I was a very, very sad and confused Man.

And Tara, I've waffled back and forth on this, I know. After that love making session with the 6122-62 I seriously thought, OK, I'm keepin' both GreTschs.

But there can be only two for the next couple years, and I just can't part with this Strat.

If I had your Duo Jets, I'd probably just stay home all day and stare at them.....maybe not even play'em............just stare at them....

"Sell" the strat to a relative for $5 with the promise that they'll store it for you & you can visit it occasionally.. keep the Gretschs

Only doing this for the $.

araT · July 26th, 2009, 08:59 AM

Hard call..

as I said, glad I'm not in your shoes.. sorry Dave. I'm mourning with you.

dan P · July 26th, 2009, 10:04 AM

Evening Tara, Morning dave, If I may but in, Dave send me a couple hundred and you can have this....94 mim....worn

dan P · July 26th, 2009, 10:09 AM

Whats Tara doing this evening? Finally have my jet intonated, I found I can actually move the bridge a small amount with strrings on, tuned...so , funny though, you can see the shadded place where the bridge sat for 3 years...vs the rest of the body...

araT · July 26th, 2009, 09:02 PM

Evening Dan! I was asleep when you sent this, to answer your question

Yes, you can slide the bridge around a little with the guitar in tune, but we wary of scratches!

glad to hear you got it all intonated!

dafreeze · July 27th, 2009, 11:24 AM

Dan! Thank-you for that. I really appreciate the thought. But I'm OK with things.

It was actually pretty funny. Son laughed his tail off. Figured I'd decided the Brown Gretsch had to go and although was a bit sad, knew it was the thing to do. But then really messed up by pulling it out and playing it for 3 hours. Not kidding. If there could be only one, that'd be it.

And honestly, if I end up having do dump all my guitars I could still talk my Son into leaving at least his Epi for me and I'd be thrilled. Get such a charge out of playing. Think I'd have to wrestle him for his 5120 though, and I ain't so sure I could take him any more. And we really stoked that little SG knock off up good. Remember, my first love was a Gibson, but my 6122-62, You, Bobkat and most others here have shown me the way.

Work some O/T dude! You can't be selling your gear.

Exactly Mark!! there has to be a way you can keep both the Gretsches & the strat Dave!

with it being such a sellers market at the moment, you can make more money with a bit of overtime than you could selling your beloved guitars..

dafreeze · July 28th, 2009, 08:52 AM

Oh, I'm schemeing and I work all the OT they offer...10 minutes ago got a note from my Boss that the 2 OT days I agreed to work 8/1 and 8/2 have been cancelled, as the Buddy I was covering cancelled his vacation. Kind of a bummer. Rather unheard of, but all the OT here is double time.

I planned for college, but those plans fell through and I lived off that $ for 16 months. Paid all my bills, (house alone was $1485/mo) and rode the storm out without having to file for bankruptcy.

But everythings good.
