  3. 12th fret is great but way too long and over priced. You should be able to get it done in the city for $60 tops in most places...I do all the set-ups for the Zeus/Collett guys and many of the Arts & Crafts musicians for quite a few years now and for those "Bro's" and what-have-you I would charge about $25/set-up... Unfortunately if you want my expertise, it'll have to wait as I'm now based closer to Ottawa and return only once a month or so to tend to the needs of my Toronto clients...or they come by my shop here if they're on the road. If you find your still having trouble, I can certainly work something out there for you with another competent luthier...I don't personally know the cat at sixstring but I do know his reputation and he does good work from what I understand. Cheers, Gawpo Giggles
  4. It's called "hide glue" and yep; its made from an animals hide. Lee Valley offers some in granular form that will work just fine unless you want to purchase from a luthier supplier directly...not really necessary though... GOOD LUCK!
  5. I believe that would be Chris Coole...
  6. Indeed some terrible stuff...So Sad I'll be doing my part when I receive my first shipment of a number of instruments for repair damaged in the flood. Vince Gill held a flood relief concert and raised $1.7million in 3.5 hours...you can follow more news about the flood on Vince's homepage and other was to donate or help out. http://www.vincegill.com/main/index.php
  7. EXACTLY :clapclap: :clapclap: :clapclap:
  8. Exactly...it's a huge songbook and I'm going to wait to see how it works out...for me, it just wasn't "The Sister's" I've know for years and at present I'm just not into seeing Kev coach someone through some charts... Bouche :surprise: yourself Gawpo Giggles
  9. I was there on the first return in December and as most know, I am a very old friend of the bands and in fact 2 of them play or will be playing instruments I have made for them. I was REALLY let down catching that first show so thats why I'm waiting till they work things out with Mark...if they can. The band ROARED but there was just major weakness compared to what I know traditionally of "The Sisters"...he simply does not have the chops that Rob does and they are hurting, IMHO because of it. There is a youtube video from that night where Kevin is on FIRE and Mark is doing some weird washy crap on the B3 that had me sooooo desolee...I honestly thought the guy had never sat in front of a Hammond before cause he looked lost...completely! But, it was his first go, no one knew he was replacing Rob and the addition of his accordion will indeed hopefully add something to the mix... But keeping in mind "The Sisters" don't practice, I think this kid has a LONG way ahead of him...or the sound may indeed become something new and we'll have to see what happens then... HOWEVER they are still one of the best bands in the world...and my FAVORITE band...no Rob just snuck up on me... $.002 Gawpo Giggles
  10. Thanks all... Dave...in a very short while capsule will have a tele and a strat in.. vintage style strat, 2-tone burst, Fralin P/U's with his blend pot. if you want to chat about something completely custom (radius, scale, neck profile etc) then that is possible as well... Also, that bong-bowl thing is wild...while looking for my customary I was considering a change... Cheers, Gawpo Giggles
  11. Hi All, Some folks here may know that for several years I have been studying the art of lutherie. Throughout the years I've been very fortunate in who I've been able to train under and in turn have had many a fine musician trust me with building them a dream instrument or maintaining their already beloved precious instrument. I am proud to say Kevin Breit, Ian De Souza, Ryan Myshrall, Carla Gillis, Ben Whiteley and others are awaiting an instrument from "cGc" and Kevin Hearn is already roaming around Lou Reed and BNL gigs with one of our tele-esque instruments. Today we've launched the website. Still in progress but I'm happy we've finally got to the point of getting it up there and thought I would share. Canadian Guitar Company Have a GREAT day everyone! Gawpo Giggles
  12. Here is the video of Bryant rear-ending Al before he proceeded to murder him... What sort of instigation is there here? Words? Perhaps being flipped the bird? Bryant even seems to try to scare/fake his initial assault of Al. After being struck, I'd say Al's pretty free to do what he wants...like throw his bike down and try to get that chicken shit out of his car and his jaw on the curb... ANY OF YOU STILL IN THE UNDERSTANDING THAT BRYANT COULD MURDER AL ARE GOD DAMN MORONS! SCARED FOR HIS LIFE? A BICYCLE (AND CERTAINLY NOT THE HUMAN BODY) WILL NEVER WIN AGAINST CAR! USE YOUR FUCKING HEADS!
  13. He actually wasn't...Ronnie's is kinda dark but I was surprised myself... Gawpo Giggles
  14. Yes, Daniel really is a very easy guy to get along with and a super easy guy to talk with...I was really shocked at how truly easy going and open to the conversation he is...willing to talk about anything really, to pass the time... I didn't take any pictures...I have no camera and it seemed weird to pull out the cell phone during Bono's speech...that being said, I did see a cell camera appear when Daniel began his thank-yous and I've been checking to see if it pops up on youtube or something but haven't found it yet...The owner of Ronnie's is also a friend and she would have killed me... Gawpo Giggles
  15. I'm not sure what the reference is to but, yha, I met Bono...and his family was there too and I believe it was his Mother and his Aunt that had left just as I got there...I met his father-in-law and Daniel had most of his close business relations there (manager, cinematographer, his son and new daughter-in-law and the Cine's new baby...) At one point in his Bday speech to Daniel, Bono talks about living a "good life...no" he says "I live an extraordinary life and most people that have THIS life won't be shy in expressing how amazing and wonderful THEY are to accomplish such a feat"..."I think its appropriate on such an occasion as Daniels Birthday to state that I have THIS life because of Daniel Lanois!" IT WAS QUITE A SPECIAL AND TOUCHING MOMENT! Gawpo Giggles
  16. The other afternoon I was fortune enough to spend a few hours getting drunk and shooting the shit with one of my all time musical hero's; Daniel Lanois. He was alone, drinking at one of my watering holes... We talked about music, my guitar company and amongst other things, Love affairs with women I can't speak of...he was an amazingly nice and genuine guy... Today I was strolling around the area again and Daniel comes over to me (as I'm just across the street from the aforementioned watering hole) and says hi and invites me for a drink to chat again...it happens to be his birthday and there is someone I should meet...so I stroll in and Daniel proceeds to introduce me to Bono! We share a shot and a couple drinks, chat a bit then Bono gives a great speech in honor of Daniels birthday and I go home with a smile on my face... I've had a pretty good couple days and feel like it's 420 I hope your weekend is grand too all! Gawpo Giggles
  17. My best-friend of 16yrs owns likely Toronto's #1 bike shop and I work there. I knew Allen as an acquaintance frequently stopping by the shop for tubes or whatnot...it is a sad outcome for certain and I am very surprised that I'm even reading the comments of "understanding" as to how Mr. Bryant could just murder someone...oh, it's understandable? When this story first hit the news before ANY knowledge of who Mr. Bryant was, there was a group of individuals interviewed, those being the construction workers with the first-hand view of this horrible event. Anyone happen to see/hear those first hand eye-witness accounts? Not ONE witness stated anything besides the fact that the cyclist was nearly rode off the road by the car in which case the cyclist was forced to grab onto the car for his fear of being run over. I have found myself on the hood of a Toronto cab after his decision to side-swipe me while trying to squeeze through a space my bike couldn't even fit. From there, the accounts continued in the manner that the driver then rode into on coming traffic and even hopped the curve trying to knock the cyclist (now brought from the passengers side to the drivers side area in the insane driving commotion) off of trees, mailboxes and fire hydrants. No one spoke any word of fault of the cyclist, were dumbfounded at the actions of the driver and all interviewed had no idea how anyone would be able to explain what they were doing driving in such a manner... The following day it's announced that it's Bryant and something MAY be fishy with what happened...BULL SHIT! 2 days after the tragedy, CityTV released the footage from the security cameras of the INITIAL confrontation between the 2...where it started near Bay. They were both seen waiting at the light, Allen seems to flip Bryant the bird and Bryant proceeds to REAR-END his bicycle. CityTV was forced to remove the video for "legal reasons", that being Bryant instigating the events. OK, so Bryant was scared. REALLY? He was afraid his car was going to be destroyed by the bike? He was worried for his life with all the people that are on the streets at Bay/Avenue-Bloor at 9:30pm? He has no faith in humanity and is of the assumption this craized cyclist will kill him or something in front of all these people? I guess the media can make some simple minds think in very simple ways if anyone actually believes that story. Don't believe the hype. Someone was murdered, those are the facts. Did it come out of a terrible situation that there was really no need for? Of course but a man is still dead and another needs to be held accountable for his actions.
  18. got a last second gig so I have a ticket for the earle show tonight I need to sell...paid $60, will take the $45 that reads on the ticket...I think H45 is the seat...lots of friggin; number on these... Gawpo Giggles
  19. BRILLIANT!!! Gawpo Giggles
  20. Well I'm glad to hear some folks liked this...I was headed down with another guitar maker friend of mine who's made Kevin some mando family instruments and Bill Frisell a couple guitars as well; Joe Yanuziello. I ended up having a gig of my own but met up with Joe Thursday and he had very little in the area of good to say about this show. He said most of the performances were quite poor and he was pretty sure he was going to kill whomever the MTV douchbag MC was. He did however give props to the Euclid and he mentioned that he thought Danny Michel stole the show. But the worst for him was the amount of suits around...the bank sponsors and such of the event...he just said it had an air of grossness... Gawpo Giggles
  21. I should also note that Sister's Euclid will be the house band for the entire evening backing up those without a band... SWEET!!! Gawpo Giggles
  22. Finally got some time to spend with Kevin yesterday and got to ask him about the final Monday... Simply put, he felt he was still able to hold his head high and walk out after 13yrs of killing it at the Orbit...he said it was entirely his call and he made it and is happy with it... Euclid will still be playing and Kevin will still be a native of the horseshoe, so no need to worry Toronto folk; he's all ours... Gawpo Giggles
  23. I was just LOVING "Voodoo Woman" not 3 days ago after M made a magnificent post... RIP Koko Gapwo Giggles
  24. The damn line-up nearly hit "Soundscapes" last night as I rolled in far too late to even attempt getting in the door with that many folks in the way...I'm on the guest list for the Euclid too as I'm making a bass for Ian and an f-style mando for Kevin... I'll be speaking with Ian today to see whats up...unfortunately if you read the website of the "Outlanders" band, they seem to have Mondays at The Orbit until January 10'...YIKES!!! Gawpo Giggles -I feel sorry for ANY band stuck jumping into those shoes...it'd be like a toddler trying to slip into a pair of Shaq's sneakers...
  25. and I guess, if you wanted to, you could check this out...no mods, no trem... http://www.tremol-no.com Gawpo Giggles
