Re: Withdrawals

On way to avoid this problem is to loop the cable through your strap and the handle of the amp. Then the cable gets pulled but no damage to amp or guitar. I learned this the hard way when I got tangled in my headphone cable and damaged the cable and the headphone jack. Now my wife is mad because she can hear me play. smile

Re: Withdrawals

there's an even simpler way of avoiding this problem in the future

solution a, do not let your wife in the same room as your guitars

solution b, get rid of your clumsy wife, she may be trying to dispose of your guitars! cant have that

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Withdrawals

Extra cables? I keep a few extras just in case something like that happens.

solution c, buy a wireless system for your guitar (much cheaper than replacing the wife) smile

Solution D.  Get rid of those damn guitars.  Oh, I guess that's not a viable solution.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Withdrawals

what advantage does a woman have over a guitar?

1. they both make sweet music
2. they both make you very happy as long as you treat them right
3. a woman can cook your dinner...one for woman
4. a screaming guitar is much preferable to a screeching woman...one for guitar
5. once the guitar's in it's case you know where it is at all times...one more for guitar
6. a guitar wont want a new pair of shoes or a handbag every week, just a set of strings once a month (?)
7. a guitar cant rub your back after a long gig with a woman hanging round your neck

pretty even so far.

Yes they can; but do you do need to get electricity first smile.

Electricity?

Re: Withdrawals

I've heard you can get guitars and vacuum cleaners that plug in - problem is they both suck.
