THANK YOU ALL.
tigljk, No uke, unless you count the toy one my whife has on a bookshelf. I dont want to learn new chords, do they make a 6 string uke? NO one knows how to play the banjo, but the wife keeps saying she will learn it. I dont even know how to tune one. I lost the battle for the guitjo. which I still just should have gotten.
im no vid guy like Russel, no one man band stuff from me.but maybe a family band with Cory on drums and Cade on bass,, I think I have him leaning towards playing one.

FINALLY ! I had to change strings and i polished it and gave the frets a good metal polishing also. I think I may have wacked the intonation a bit, so since I am terrible at that,, gotta get it checked.

As far as heat in your shop, have you concidered one of these? https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-F27486 … ddy+heaterAs I have discovered, 2 pounds of gas on HIGH will last about 4 or 5 hours, on low to med, about 16 ish +/- I am also using it ni a bigger space (my basement) so it should be ideal for a workshop. I bought the 12" hose for a 20 pound canister, need to drill the hole in my wall for the hose since you should not have the canister in the house. The fan is nice but its not really very much force.
Just a thought Beamer, those heaters are un-vented and all the combustion byproducts wind up in the environment with you.... mostly Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor, and at the same time consumes something you need Oxygen !! You should allow something like 6 square inches of fresh air for each 1000BTU which is a lot like leaving a window open and then trying to heat up the space! If you are planning on "drilling" that hole, you should take a look at NFPA 58 & 59. the National Gas Codes which I will almost wager will require you to chain your bottle to the house outside (on a stable platform like concrete), penetrate the wall with "Black Iron" (not galvanized) pipe and have a manual shutoff between the "hard line" and the "flex". Following the rules ensures that should there be a tragedy, your Insurance Company might not "bail on you" for spite.
But then again, my Installation and Fitter's License is "inactive" since I retired and the codes do get updated..... check your local Library.
Doug, thanks for the warning. this is not a hard line. the heater has a O2 depletion alarm, and the hole is just to run the hose through. as for fresh air, I am pretty sure there is enough of a draft in that basement to keep oxygen in there 
We dont leave it on unattended. its like the old gas heaters grandma used to have. but Ill keep watch and Ill secure the bottle.

Re: Grounding issue! (13 replies, posted in Electric)
just decided, gonna replace some pots. As the man GFS tech says : " The Lil Killer is a 15k humbucker compared to a 6.5k single coil so it will blow the Brighton's away. I would suggest 500k pots with the Lil Killers definitely!" So I am upgrading the pots on both Strats since Bettie has a pretty powerful humbucker and I have noticed some of the same noise at mid volumes. at 4 bucks each, I think I can handle it

Topic: Badge Swapping (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I had the briliant idea after 11 yrs , to debadge my old Berhinger amp, and RE-Badge it with the original tank badges from my 2005 Triumph. I put retro badges on it and have had these sitting around ever since. I think it looks pretty good! What do you guys think? I also spent some time making the 2 channels very different. channel 1 (primary as the clean channel) is British amp (IE Marshall or Laney ) with clean tone mode and a US type voicing on the speaker channel 2 (Hi gain mode) is Califiornia (IE: Krank or Mesa/Boogie) with the HOT speaker mode and US speaker voicing. Ill do a sound bite Sunday for ya

I have a few ukuleles and most need some set up, I was very pleased, this instrument had no issues, no sharp frets,strings not up to high, and it's put together very well. Think it's a laminated body, or I would have given it 5 stars,, Dimebag Darrell would be proud of this little beauty

I think Ill be getting my son to play on "Wish you were here" with me as he can do all the little lead tidbits. He played it in Feb on our skype for everyone. He just wont sing LOL.

musical legends like Dylan or John Denver have an aura about them which shines through even when they're not at their best, i suppose if you didn't know who they were you wouldn't have such high expectations. as for Joe Cocker i saw him about 1979 playing in Swansea he and his band were supersonic and one of the best shows i have ever seen. i also heard he was playing live in Cardiff a few years back as support to one of those one hit wonders that no one can remember now, and he was fantastic again (it was an afternoon concert) but all the kids drifted off as they only came for the "pretty boys" that were miming...what has the world come to?
Phill if you saw a bad night for Denver,, it must have really been bad. I saw him twice with my family in WV. He was incredible each time. He knew how to entertain! Such a shame he died as he was coming back up in popularity.
