| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Great bands putting forth their best to create magical moments are all too common, if you attend many shows. It must be more than just a phenomenal show to achieve something that will stick in your mind forever. For me it was my first Dead show as... | |
| Glider upgrade? Thanks for the feedback, you have raised some good issues. I have not established a budget so far. I have no problem buying used gear and bought my amp second hand. Is there a rule of thumb for the recommended percentage one should spend on a cart... |
