I have a few - Buck 309, Buck 305, Buck 505, Kershaw Cryo, Ganzo G7211, Sanrenmu 6011, and old pearl Imperial from the 1940s that I got from my father. I also have a Ganzo G7511 and a little Dacoria flipper coming from Fasttech.

I need a new mattress and I'm thinking about going for one of the online brands: Leesa, Brooklyn Bedding, Casper, Helix, etc. I currently have a 12 year-old latex mattress that is sagging badly. I like the feel of latex and I really dislike the slow-response memory foam mattresses. I want a...

I just purchased a pair of Westone UM2RC from Sweetwater for $180 w/ free shipping on their Cyber Monday deal. The UM2 is an oldie but a goodie: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UM2RPM This will be my 3rd pair of UM2 and (I think) my 6th pair of Westone IEMs. :)

I have also been a Westone fan for years, but I think they have simply lost their minds on pricing. $150 for a single BA and $300 for a dual BA is just no longer competitive in this market. Especially not when the stems will snap or the cables will fail in ~2 years with daily, but careful, use...

Yes, they are very cheap - they often go on sale for less than even the cheapest Squier. However, I'm concerned it is like the FOTM Chinese IEMs - lots of people claiming they are the equivalent of brands costing 3X, 4X or more - but these claims are often made by folks that have never actually...

What about the Monoprice strat clone? From comments around the web, set-up seems to be hit or miss. Has anyone bought one?

Thanks to all! I'm still looking for the right local store - I'm guessing Guitar Center is probably not where I want to be looking for really good help in getting the guitar. I went into a couple of other local places and neither of them seemed to have what I'm looking for. One was very small...

Gurus of guitar-fi, I am an old (50+) life-long admirer of anyone with the skill to play a musical instrument. I am also completely incapable of playing air guitar, let alone an actual instrument. I wish to change this. I want to teach myself to play the electric guitar. I have absolutely zero...

Yes, I am still alive! I've been off pursuing another interest of mine and not checking in here. Happy Holidays to one and all!

I found this rather amusing... http://www.onionstudios.com/videos/ford-unveils-new-car-for-cash-strapped-buyers-the-1993-taurus-1323

Might be the difference between bolting a blower on a relatively stock engine vs needing much more work done to the internals of a NA engine. On a side note, I was screwed by the lowest cost vendor AGAIN (I never learn). I needed a new headlight socket for my Hyundai. The Hyundai has really...

This has nothing to do with anything, but I just think it is funny... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qbakrb9KJ4 Oh - and Magick? Look who I found... http://www.head-fi.org/t/777912/can-someone-explain-this-to-me-like-im-dumb#post_11843203

Am I wrong in putting Alfa sedans in the same general category as Renault, Peugeot & Saab? All of those just seem to always be in the quirky column - interesting to look at, but I wouldn't actually buy one over a BMW, Mercedes or Lexus. Of course, in the USA, good luck getting parts & service.

I think we have already firmly established that my inner redneck often comes out at surprising times... :p
