Congrats, Greg! Very cool. I was there last year…saw Ray Parker, too. So, is it just you playing solo, or is your band invited, too?
Actually it’s the old band (Melange). The new band is still playing the local bar scene. <pitch> Soiled Dove 7/14, Herman’s Hideaway 7/17 </pitch> — -Noizycat

The Fixx! Great 80’s band. The other day I was asking Linny if she had ever heard of them ’cause I thought they were British (I think they are). She had never heard of them so I downloaded "One Thing Leads To Another". Brought back memories. She had never heard that song. Glad to know they’re still around.

I saw him at the festival last year. He DID play Ghotbusters, but made very light of it. The rest of his set was nice. Funky, smooth jazz. He’s a good guitarist (stylistically reminds me a bit of George Benson) and an entertaining performer. Pretty funny, actually. His bassist had a solo spot, funked it up nicely. Don’t reall his name, but he’s from Detroit and toured with with James Brown. Drummer kicked butt.
Sounds great…. I’d like to check him out. — O< "Don’t listen to him!" (( )) <( ) Z | |_ Steve

Does the drain "gurgle" when the water is finally draining out? That may be a sign there may be a vent problem. Not an easy thing to fix, because all the snaking you want probably isn’t going to do anything up the vent pipe. A trick I used in sort of similar situation: I was getting some back up out of the pipe my washer drainied into. This put water all over the laundry room floor. Not a lot, but some. I couldn’t get it to stop no matter what. So, I cut the 2" pipe that the washer drain was inserted in a few inches above the floor. I then attached a 2"-4" reducer and a 4 foot piece of 4" pipe. What this did was effectively give me a "holding tank" that held enough water to keep it from backing up! Cheap trick, but it worked for years until I moved! Might give it a try if you haven’t got too much water backing up!

It won’t fix your problem alone, but it might help to use a PEROXIDE-based drain cleaner such as "Clog Gone" in the washing machine drain. I find this to be at least moderately effective. But I’d snake it out first. I’ve also heard of devices that essentially restrict the water flow out of the washing machine, though I don’t know if the work and/or if they can do any damage to the machine. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > OK, Dan, I’ll give it a try. any other words of wisdom would be much > appreciated.

OK, I will explain this as simply as I can. The washing machine drain in my house just happens to share the pipe as the drain for my bathroom sink, hence, whenever the washing machine drains, if I don’t take care to plug the bathroom sink really well, I get water all over my bathroom floors and…well, you get the idea. Can someone please tell me how I can solve this problem? The washing machine drain pipe is approximately 4′ high. Thanks in advance Zack

Basically, it’s too much water going through too small a pipe. But if the plumbing is to modern code then likely the pipe AT ONE TIME was big enough but over the years has gotten constricted with gunk. Reaming out the pipe with a drain auger may solve the problem. If not then some replumbing is probably required. — Dan Hicks Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself. –Chinese Proverb

What a fuckin shame, when I was a teenager, I knew one person my age who had a Les Paul Custom (I tried to talk him into not selling it a few years ago, didn’t work) and another who had an SG. And these were NOT rich spoiled kids either. Now they’re for midlife crises people??? WTF! That ain’t right. And recently, I saw a dad in a sitcom, I forget what the name was cause I only saw it once, but the dad got himself a Les Paul just out of the blue, to relive his youth(?), and it was such bullshit, after years of not playing, this guy’s chops weren’t even rusty.

The Greco name was used on models sold in some countries outside the USA (especially Japan). The actual manufacturing arm of Ibanez is a Japanese firm named Hoshino. — Brian Rost Stargen, Inc.
I think Ibanez also sold guitars under the Starfield brand name. I recall seeing an SG-style doubleneck with that brand name on the headstock that was identical to one in the same store with Ibanez on the headstock. — Scott Bassett

Anyone had any experience with the Epiphone Thunderbird basses? How do they compare to other basses in a similar price range? What are the pros and cons of these basses? What about the Epiphone line in general Jarl Sigurd to listen to a cello concerto composed performed and recorded by Jarl Sigurd: http://www.mp3.com/JarlSigurd
> Anyone had any experience with the Epiphone Thunderbird basses? > What are the pros and cons of these basses?
The T-Bird is a love/hate bass. First off you either like the look or you do not. They are not well shaped for sitting down and the neck seems long because of the way the body hangs on a strap. They can be neck heavy. The neck is fragile near the nut and can be broken easily. The sound is unique, fatter than a Fender Jazz but more trebly and cutting than a Precision. Like it or not, for general purpose bass playing all basses have to be stacked up against Fenders which are in fact used in every kind of modern music you can think of. the T-Bird isn’t necessarily the best choice for some styles…you don’t see jazz, blues or country players with them, for example. > How do they compare to other basses in a similar price range?

They are almost all based on Gibson bass designs, which means like the T-Bird they are not as general purpose as most Fenders. — Brian Rost Stargen, Inc.

Also, I believe the Epi is bolt on while Gibsons are Set Neck.
The Epiphone is a bolt-on while the Gibson is a neck-thru. A set neck is a glued-on neck like a Hofner.

Beyond the comparisons bear in mind that it’s a big bass,sort of an awkward shape too.Best played while standing. I always wanted one untill I went with an Explorer style,which also turned out big and awkward,but it works for me,and as an aside gave me great shoulder definition. PG

NOTHING sounds like a Thunderbird – but bear in mind that the newer Gibsons (1990-up) differ from both the original 63-64s and the ‘76 Bicentennial in the areas of headstock size (the newer ones are smaller), pickups (the newer ones area little hotter, but with less character), and tuning pegs 9the newer models have the smaller pegs – probably due to the smaller headstock). The 63-64 also uses a different bridge setup than ANY of the later issues – the original uses a separate bridge / tailpiece, while everything else uses the three-stud combination unit. I have owned my ‘76 ‘bird since ‘79, and love it – an original would be nice, but they are very pricey these days. The Epiphone is a nice compromise if you’re on a budget or if you just crave the look. You can always swap pickups. For the REAL Thunderbird growl, though, you’ll want the one of the older isues.

I don’t know about that…. I suspect that a Zon does a pretty good job…..they can sound like Fenders too, you know. Steve – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> NOTHING sounds like a Thunderbird
FWIW, I think the Tbird is one of the best looking basses around. It is one of the few instruments you can identify easily by its shape. The deep growl it produces is unique and seductive, although it seems to come at the expense of top end brightness. If I was going to own a collection of basses, I would certainly have a bird in it. However, the lack of a 5 string model, the limited range of tones available from it, and the high price make it not a bass I want as my only instrument. These comments apply mainly to the Gibson, but I think the epi is prob’ly similar.
I was gonna say that I think the green is pretty cool Did it come like that or did you paint it? Tim

"I was gonna say that I think the green is pretty cool Did it come like that or did you paint it?" That bass was refinished in that color by Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick who owned it before me. To my knowledge Gibson never made any T-Birds in that color but did make a few Firebirds in it. It’s their "Inverness Green" finish.

Greetings, all. I have a Gibson Thunderbird and I am extremely happy with it. Although as others have noted it does operate best within a certain band (no pun intended), and is not the only bass I take on gigs. Just for a comparison I borrowed an Epiphone T-bird from a shop and put it through its paces on a gig. As far as I am concerned there is no comparison. The Epiphone version sounded much "tinnier" and with less overall tonal variation. The bolt-on neck (which is not a problem in itself; my Fenders are all bolt-on and I have NO complaints) on the Epi was lacking in fit and finish (as was the overall bass). The frets just did not feel right (whatever that means) and all in all the Epi T-bird significantly paled next to my Gibson in all possible categories. My recommendation is get the Gibson T-bird if possible. They can be had on the second-hand market for a very reasonable price unless you come upon a collectible such as the "reverse body" style. Now, having said al of that in condemnation of the Korean Epiphones. my expectations were extremely low regarding the Jack Casady Signature. I was able to get an extremely attractive deal however and went ahead and bought one. The difference between the J.C. Sig. and the T-bird could not be more dramatic. The finish and trim as well as the set-up were impeccable and the bass far exceeded my expectations in every possible category. I have no idea what accounts for the differences between the J.C. Sig. and the T-bird other than the fact that Casady was involved in every step of creating and designing his signature model. Even so far as identifying the gauge of wire in the pickup. I just love the J. C. Sig. Of course the Casady model is the most expensive bass in the entire Epiphone bass line which may also explain the care that apparently goes into these beauties. Given the price difference between the Gibson and Epiphone Thunderbirds the vast quality differences between them may have its explanation. Bye, steve

I may have you beat. Every couple of months, on average, I have a nice French-toast-and-bacon breakfast. Other than that, I eat no meat, red or otherwise. No fish, no chicken, no deli meats, no other kinds of eggs, no nuthin. And I’m not a vegetarian, I just don’t like the stuff. >The doctor you mention may well have hit the nail on the head…
As I said, I don’t think so. She’s ignoring the fact that ancient people ate diets just as varied as we do now. Way up north, there weren’t a whole lot of edible vegetables, so people spent lots of time hunting. In the tropics, diet was geared far more towards fruit, which was plentiful and tends not to fight back. So, the doctor saying that our omega-3-to-6 balance is all off because the junk we feed our cattle gives them different EFA levels than wild game had way back when is oversimplifying the whole picture, just like many of the other "paleolithic diet" books and proponents around. >…my diet must have been totally deficient in O3 and O6.
I doubt that *very* much, unless you avoided all fatty dairy, and vegetable fats, as well as the meats. Had you not taken in any EFAs for a good long while, you most likely would have exhibited other symptoms besides psoriasis and/or pyodermas, dehydration probably being high on the list due to a breakdown of the skin’s barrier function. Neurological symptoms, too. Reports of EFA deficiency are very rare for adults. Infants appear to be less able to synthesize certain EFAs from others, and don’t have large stores of them, to boot, so tend to be more susceptible to EFA malnutrition. Reports of low EFA levels causing disease in older children and adults tend to be about people who are either being fed special diets (for some other disease), which are either completely lacking in EFAs (one gentleman was being tube-fed a zero-fat diet to treat severe triglyceride levels, and those treating him thought that rubbing vegetable oils on his skin would give him enough EFAs to live – no such luck), or are lacking in one or the other (given "common" n-3’s like linolenic acid, your body can make other n-3’s from it, but it can’t make n-6’s from it). Your diet would have had to have been very extremely low-fat to be totally deficient in both types of EFA. – Dave W. http://members.aol.com/psorsite/

I read a article in the local "Reader" newspaper on what they feed the local beef…that included all the spent vegtable oil from fast food french fryers…ex. french fried potatoes…(chips? for the uk-people) and all kinds of junk…like left over bread that was postdated at the local grocery stores..etc…all to get the beef to taste like what the consumer wanted…cripes..

Let’s see: Cons: 1) Not free. 2) I’ve heard it tastes ucky. 3) In large doses, may cause bleeding problems. 4) On average, probably "modest" results. Pros: 1) Fairly cheap. 2) Doesn’t taste as bad as borage oil, and no fishy burps, either. 3) Very safe in "normal" doses. 4) On average, probably "modest" results. Dang, the lists are the same, really. :) >…but you seem to be more intent on a semantical debate – >life is too short.
If you feel it’s a waste of your time, I’m surprised you even bothered to explain. Even more surprised now at your first FSO post, in which you wasted valuable time letting fly at Web sites devoted to Things That Don’t Work and any terminal cynics hiding around here. Little of that intro, nor of the intro for this thread, had much to do with the pros and cons of FSO. But still, you typed them. – Dave W. http://members.aol.com/psorsite/
Dave, <snip> This is becoming tiresome and you run the risk of boring me. Please go and do something else now. Graham
Hi Graham, Very happy to hear the Flax Seed Oil has worked for you. I have yet to try it, but now after reading your post, I think I will. I was wondering what exactly a Pyaderma was. I have Pyodermagangrenosum Open wound ulcers, and I was wondering if they are at all possibly the same thing? The words sound far too similar not to be linked somehow. The other similar traits that have me wondering, is location, as I only develop them on my lower trunk between knees and ankles. Also the healing time, mine usually take 2-3 years to heal. I ws also wondering what types of P you have. I have Pustular, plaque, and PA. If i am off base about your post I apologize for ranting, just trying to find anyone who also has these ulcers. Congrats on the FSO, I would love to know how much you take and for how long now. Thanks Lorraine
>This is becoming tiresome and you run the risk of boring me.
The idea that I’m posting to try to entertain you (or at least not bore you) is laughable. >Please go and do something else now.
So you *don’t* want to discuss the pros and cons of flax seed oil, after all? Hey, there’s this one doctor who claims that since we’ve been eating all this farm-raised meat, we’ve thrown our omega-3-to- omega-6 balance off-kilter, causing all sorts of nasty problems. Flax seed oil would help there, quite a bit, but I’m still leaning towards it’s antiinflammatory properties as the reason it works at all for psoriasis, since the good doctor is thinking of ancient times as if everyone world-wide all ate the same things. – Dave W. http://members.aol.com/psorsite/
Hi Lorraine, Yes it is Pyaderma Gangrenosum, I apologise for my appreviation, but the second word is sometimes difficult to contemplate, let alone to utter. I also have P and PA I have had the PG on the back of my calf since Novemeber 1999 and have run the gamut of convention drug and topical treatments, cyclosporin, dapsone et al. Then almost four weeks ago, I saw a snippet about FSO and my instincts told me to try it. I noticed an almost immediate dramatic improvement to my P. I am talking after 2 days. The backs of my fingers began to flatten. Similarly my arms, feet and legs – the extremities. They are now 90% clear. On the third week, I notice that the PG was starting to close up – too much of a coincidence. I have also reduced my NSAIDs by 50% – this A Very Good Thing. I urge you to try it. Like me you have absolutely nothing to lose. FSO is quite palatable. I take one tablespoon, twice per day, I am also consuming a lot of water (say 5 litres) Lorraine, I really hope that this helps you – PG is a most painful insult – especially when added to P and PA. Graham

Dave, <snip> I have neither the time nor the inclination to indulge in a gain-saying competition with you, so if you don’t mind I am going to consign our brief parley to where it belongs.

>I have neither the time nor the inclination to indulge in a gain-saying >competition with you…
If that’s what you think I was interested in ("you’re wrong." "No, you’re wrong." "No…"), then you are mistaken. In fact, I think only one section of my reply could be considered "gainsaying," and that’d be the bit where I puzzled over what, exactly, you were using as an analogy. Well, this very paragraph is, indeed, gainsaying, because I’m challenging your implication that what I wanted to indulge in is any sort of gainsaying ‘competition’. >…so if you don’t mind I am going to consign our brief parley to >where it belongs.
I expected as much, unfortunately. Have you killfiled me yet? You don’t appear to have much inclination towards communicating – your "sharing" seems to go in only one direction – so I wouldn’t be surprised if you had, especially since it’s what you suggested I do. As I said, it’s really counter-productive, in the long run. The least you could have done is… Well, no, you’ve pretty much just done the least you could have done – the Usenet equivalent of "talk to the hand." Nevermind. The only thing that would have required less ‘work’ on your part would have been not replying at all. >While I am here I would just like to tell you that there is a small >celebration going on today at my house.

There was no assumption – I clearly *saw* an implication that flax seed oil is the Philosopher’s Stone. You titled the post with that name, and the only treatment you mentioned was FSO. Thus, the implication that FSO is the Philosopher’s Stone. On a re-read of your post, specifically looking for an analogy of some sort, all I can see is that your words about how we’re all on a quest for a harmless, effective treatment might make a decent comparison to the *search* for the Philosopher’s Stone of yore, but not to the Stone itself. Since you obviously didn’t intend the implication I read, I apologize. > Furthermore, if you feel that it wrong for me to share my delight at > having found something that helps me with other members of this NG…

— if I, or anyone else here, has objections, or a different viewpoint to share, should we still keep our big mouths shut? That’s what you appear to be asking me (and others) to do. As in: "I can post all I want, and if you don’t like it, then please killfile me instead of replying." This would be a pretty poor method of communicating, if it’s truly what you intended to say. > Whilst I respect your status in this newsgroup as the > Psoriatic Consumers Champion…
If that’s the only way you see what I attempt to do here, you can keep your ‘respect’. I have little desire to be seen solely as some sort of psoriatic Ralph Nader. I don’t know how many others here see me that way, and frankly, I don’t want to know.

True….why can’t I get higher returns…will What? help and why?…as to flax…I have felt IMHO that balencing 3/6 omega fatty acids is very beneficial…as back in 1993-4 I had a sixty percent clearing in less then three months….then a plateau….and slow decline….

>"Philosophers Stone" No fair using a Van Morrison title track just to get >attention!
As Graham’s already written, the term was around long before the sixties: http://skepdic.com/philostone.html Unfortunately, Graham’s also implied that flax seed oil *is* the Philosopher’s Stone, which appears to be ludicrous, at best. While there’s decent evidence it can be an okay anti-inflammatory, which might help psoriasis, I see nobody claiming it’ll grant immortality, or even cure the common cold, both of which the true Philosopher’s Stone should do easily. I, too, wish Graham continued success, but I find little reason to promote flax seed oil as anything like an "optimal" treatment for psoriasis, which Graham has strongly suggested, several times now. As I’ve said recently, supplementing omega-3 oils has been shown to be of "modest" benefit for most, and they’re unlikely to kill you (but let your doctor know you’re taking them, since they thin the blood to some extent). If a person’s uncomfortable (for whatever reason) in supplementing with flax seed oil in particular, there are other sources for omega-3 fatty acids, such as oily white fish, fish-oil capsules, or borage oil. Psoriatics should feel free to experiment with these low-risk "alternatives" as they please, as long as they also understand that along with being low-risk, they may also probably be, on average, low-return. – Dave W. http://members.aol.com/psorsite/

As people with psoriasis, we spend years searching for effective treatments that will not, in the long term, cause irreparable damage to our vital organs. I know that it is a short time, but over the past 3 weeks I have seen a remarkable improvement to my extremely active and painful PA. The best improvement is in the extremities. My hands were covered in extremely raw, throbbing, active psoriasis. This has virtually disappeared. Also, joy of joys, I have been able to halve the dose of my NSAID’s. To me, this is wonderful news and an excellent excuse for being cheerful and optimistic. Flax seed oil. Graham

If you’re looking for a really inexpensive 8 string, take a look at http://www.samash.com and the Carl Robelli 8 string bass they have. It doesn’t look too bad with it’s active electronics and musicman style humbucker, but you never know. I don’t know about Carl Robelli, but I think it’s just a house brand for Scam Ash like Rogue is a brand for Musician’s Fiend. I’ve seen Rouge, Carl Robelli, and Galveston all advertise the same model of guitar, the only difference being the name on the headstock. It’s almost like these korean factories have stock designs that they sell to different brand names. Joe.
I just bought a Dean Rhapsody 8 string and really like it. It was $549 at a local independent music store here in Richmond VA. It sounds wild! Go to the link Dude posted.

BCR music in Pa. has 2 8 string hamers in stock. there are a lot of cheap used and lower quality 8 and 12 string basses available, you can use a 12 as an 8 with a little tweaking, the newer imported 12’s by hamer,galveston and dean can be had for about $500…. also see www.12stringbass.com…….good site with a lot of info. — -Billybob

Kramer made an Aluminum neck one 2 oct with a body like a Warlock on steroids JOn — Even *bad* drummers get more solos than bassists Bass: The Final Frontier… the Din of Iniquity http://www.mp3.com/HeadrushDemo
I am wondering where one could purchase an 8 string bass, one with a normal width neck and the extra strings would be octaves of their nieghbors, i.e. e-e, a-a, d-d, g-g, Not F-F, if you know what I mean. Like the basses that the cheap trick bass player used to play. Basically a bass strung up like a 12-string guitar. Why didn’t I just say that to begin with?? Anyway, any help would be appreciated. -PD
I believe Hamer still does them (might be a special order, though). Otherwise, Warmoth make the bits to either build one or stick an 8 string neck and bridge on a Fender style body.

"Used by Jimmy Page in the early days of Zep, if that’s of interest!" Jimmy’s stage rig is still being used onstage today by the current owner, Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick! Not sure what kind of speakers he has in them now but he plays his Chandler 12 string bass through 3 different channels into 3 of Jimmy’s old stage rigs…they sound great! He uses three different heads (1 Fender Bassman, 1 Hiwatt Guitar Head and 1 Orange head) Steve "Dude" Barr http://www.vintagebass.com "Stab it and steer Lula"
