I've been a Boss fan since the early '80s....still have my DD3 and Heavy Metal distortion pedals...for amps I've always liked Peavey and Marshalls though, my main is a DSL40C Hope your son enjoys his new toy! (if he's ever looking to upgrade, I have a bunch of amps, guitars, and gear I might be selling haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psylocke Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I've browsed some of the sales online, but nothing really catching my eye. Tempted to check out the Zwilling warehouse sale, but I heard the lineup is insane and I'm not really willing to lineup for an hour+ just for a couple things that I'm not desperately in need of.

Goalie29 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have a pair of Canuck license plate holders headed my way. I wanted to get a jersey, but I am waiting until the Fanatics deal expires. I am just hoping they can't screw up a license plate holder.

Fingers crossed your license plate holders don't get messed by my Fanatics! #TheHorrorStories Jersey-wise, Sportchek has some decent sales right now on their website - most of the retail locations in the Lower Mainland are wiped out but when I checked in the early afternoon today, they still had the PrimeGreen Skate, Home, and Away Blanks,, PrimeGreen Hughes (non-A / non-C, and factory customized Home), and Petey (non-A , and factory customized Home). I ordered a PrimeGreen Skate that I am thinking of converting into a Hughes with the C later on. As a jersey collector, I have always been weary of paying full retail for factory customized, but at their current Black Friday pricing, it is fairly reasonable, without going through the hassle of getting it customized through a third-party company. PS. Always appreciate your hard work with the PTSC game! Thank you Disclaimer: Not affiliated with Sportchek - just sharing my observations!

Ghost In a Jar Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) black friday isnt what it used to be. lots of stores out there will raise prices a few months before black friday then drop items back to their original price and say that its on sale. smoke and mirrors to make it look like you are getting a deal when you really arent.

gwarrior Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I ordered my dog a purple LED dog collar. It was only $22, so I figured why not? Black dog walking at night on a poorly lit street, at least she can be seen now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 10 guitars so I think he is good for now lol. I have some pictures somewhere I will try to find. I bought him a Taylor made last year for Xmas and he bought himself a $3400 Rickenbacker a few years ago when he moved back because of Covid and they were not allowed in the office. So he never had to pay rent for 18 months or buy food. So he banked a lot working from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 We bought an upright freezer last month at Costco when ours died. But we decided it wasn’t big enough (16 cu ft), and kept an eye open for deals. Found this: https://www.costco.ca/galanz-stainless-steel-convertible-upright-freezer-or-refrigerator-bundle%2c-32-cu.ft.-combined-capacity.product.4000227032.html TWO 16 cu ft freezers, for only $200 more than I paid for one. Oh yeah, and either/both can convert to fridge too. So bought these online, and will return the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She blends in with concrete so I love that she has a bright collar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a PRS but i dont like it as much as my cheap Kramer Baretta for feel. Hardly play them any more. I have nice little Fender Combo amp. Suits me fine. For how mediocre of a player i am, i actually have quite a few axes... 3 acoustics, an elctro acoustic, a few ukes, a Jaguar clone, even a hand made 1 of 5 hybrid uke like thing that the creator called a 'happy twanger' ( its beautiful) Just picked them up over the years. My wife used to work for a music school, sometimes they would unload donations they didn't want. I would pick them up for cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender amps are great too, the combos, hotrods....I had a beautiful Kramer back in the day, it had a fast neck like my Ibanez...but it got traded for a 4x12 cab and head haha...like most musicians, we were always selling/trading/pawning our gear when money's tight, and gather up more later I have whittled my guitar collection down to: an '80's Kramer Ferrington E/A, also a Fender E/A....an old 1 piece body Samick electric, a Yamaha acoustic, my Ricky bass and Samick bass, a Peavey electric, an Gibson SG and my two fave guitars -- my '80s American Strat and my late '80s Charvel with the "toothpaste" logo on the headstock...one piece neck-thru body.

Like lots of drummers, I wanted to get up front on stage so after that band broke up i became a lead singer for a really good group. Though we didn't push hard and eventually ....'jimmy quit and joey got married' So, I have been fiddling with guitars and doing my own thing ever since. My wife used to work at Sarah Mclachlan school. Sarah is a pretty cool lass. Really fun years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mention that I have a Yamaha Stage Custom Birchwood kit...after I closed my music school I took the instruments home, also my Yamaha Arius e- piano...I couldn't part with them haha...I play a bit of drums too, but my main schtick is singing and playing the axe I TOTALLY get the Bryan Adams reference haha, so true, we all try to escape it but life, marriage, and responsibility always came after us with a vengeance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
