Shure markets the Betas as road-worthy versions of their mics- better able to withstand the rigors of touring and live work. Some may be better-sounding mics than their 'classic' brothers, some may be worse. That is all.

My, my MY! A bit touchy, are we? :D

OMG, I TOTALLY forgot about that motor. A good friend had one of those motors/cars, too, and it still slipped my mind. You are completely right about it's origin. It was a 351C, with 4-bbl heads and a factory alum. manifold, and yes, an Autolite spread-bore 4-BBl carb. 10:1 or 10.5:1...

Too lazy to google it, but if that Marshall amp (which I am familar with, a bit) is like every other "acoustic amp" (isn't that an oxymoron?) there is a 100% probability it has reverb, and a 80% chance it has compression. Those amps get no respect whatsover (who thinks of Marshall as an...

I have absoloutly no idea what you are talking about.

"Oiks?" WTF are oiks?

And go to an indie hardware store, NOT Home Depot or (horrors!) Lowe's. Those two places don't care to stock anything they can't sell a million of each day. Mom n Pop hardware stores are FAR more likely to have what you need.

They made thingamabobs, too. And whatzits.

I don't see how. Other cars had the Ford 351C motor (I have never heard of a "Boss 351" motor, and I am pretty well versed in things Ford...) and never heard anyone blame the demise of a car on that motor. Care to defend your statement?

I'd be afraid someone in the crowd would see the H2 up there, see that it was suspended between two pieces of line, and STEAL THE DARN THING.

Well, you see... Ah, screw it. It's late, I should already be in bed, my ex-GF laid some stuff on me that has my head just all turned around... and I got a VERY important meeting in the morning. You guys figure it out without me.

Wow- what is about those dinosaurs that makes them so valuable?

Although I respect your right to your own opinion, Greg, that honor usually goes to Chevy's SMALL block V8. The Chevy SB was a major game-changer. Every push-rod V8 made since (including Chevy's big block,) and most cammers, owe a huge design debt to that one.

I just love it when somebody goes to the obscure... Kinda an apples/oranges comparo, dontcha think, Greg? A better comparo might be the mid 80's Mustang GT's, which could be had with a 5.0L HO V-8, or a 2.3L turbo I-4. I am neither holding fox-body Mustang up as prime examples of...

Although Martin guitars are top-notch, Martin guitar STRINGS are nothing to write home about. In my experience, I find D'Addario's to be much better.

I had one of those, about 15 years ago. My son gave it to me for my birthday- his primary means of transportation was his mountain bike (he was about 14 at the time,) and so as to surprise me, he biked from our house in uptown New Orleans to Lakeside Shopping center in Metairie- only about 10...

Oops, I forgot to address that. I don't recall if the one I had has that kind of issue, but if it did, it did not seem to affect the playability or tone of the guitar. I even might have kept the thing if I hadn't already had an Epi Les Paul, a Westone with a Bendmaster locking trem, and a...

Eminence has gone to some pretty impressive lengths in the past few years, to sell speakers- you might want to check that out. Their website has sound files for all the speakers they sell- best to use that as a comparision from one E-speaker to the next, but less useful to compare them to other...

... and has a nice (sound) hole. :D

I once had a lefty Westbury LP-type guitar that a PO had installed a Kahler. I never bonded with the guitar because of the Kahler, but it worked just fine. I have no idea how much the PO had played the guitar post-install, and because I didn't really bond with the guitar I didn't play it much...
