I implore you, give up the avacado toast for the Kappa jammas

"The cost of back surgery varies significantly, from $15,000 to over $150,000, depending on the procedure (discectomy vs. spinal fusion), complexity (minimally invasive vs. open), surgeon, facility, location, and implants, with potential out-of-pocket costs for patients reaching $10,000 to $18,000 even with insurance covering major portions, not including lost wages. "

As a fellow Kappaficcionado, I must second the sentiment.

I'll third my own sentiment - I have two cabs with 15s in them. I bought Kapparamma-ding-dongs for one of the cabs. I have EV15s in the other.
I never use the EV cab outside of the jamspace it sits in

This came in the mail, I highly doubt I would have bought an Antigua finished Squier but it seems like I did.

I have to admit, there's something about that color has me immediately saying no, but then looking again and saying to myself "you sure about no?" and then looking again and saying "I don't know - maybe yes?"

Like a mid century modern color swatch reject.

Yeah it's snuck under the radar a bit, I never liked the Japanese "avocado burst" version from the 90s but these recent ones are a bit more convincingly neutral. It's less colourful than the photo suggests.

I will try to try...


Finding a low watt head for it is number one though.

3 humbucker pickguard to finish up this strat I have waiting, filled with Billy Gibbons red devils. The whole shebang with cts pots wired and everything for under 200. I'm going to put it in an aluminum guard that goes on a black body with rosewood board. I got the neck for 180, it needs a little work. Got the body for ~66 as part of a set of three, so basically for under $500 I'll have a strat built better than most.

I have always wanted a 3 humbucker guitar - now I gotta get to checking wiring diagrams to see what fun I can do with it. I want MOAR TOAN, and 3 is MOAR than 2!

A KSM32 came up as a BIN on ebay for < $300. Always wanted a second one for stereo use.

Ive used way fancier & much more expensive condenser mics but cant say any of them sounded so much better that I felt it was worth saving up my nickels. Probably dumb purchase as i am barely recording these days but flipping it for small profit should be easy enough if i can bring myself to do so.
