Handmade W-H Gator Strap Auction for The Tone Rooms

There's a whole week left my friends. The smart ones are probably watching, waiting incognito in the wings to try to snipe it.
HOWEVER, be advised at the current bidding vector established, if a fellow was to chart it out... the end price might exceed $700

Wouldn't that be a thrill?

I'd be inclined to add in another pack of cheezies, and even a small vial of my bathwater for that kind of dough.

Kidding, I really can't see anybody wanting any of my bathwater. But never say never, I guess.
I'm open to inquiries if the price is right. All funds to be sent to support TTR, of course.

Trust me, you'd probably rather have a Well-Hung guitar strap.

Good strategy, I would pay to leave the bath water out. lol

Funny aside while this is all going on I'm struggling with an upright freezer that I discovered at lunch had a bunch of semi-thawed meat in it, probably a few hundred bucks worth, plus about 15 or so litres of various frozen homemade soups, chili con carne and spaghetti sauce. Seems it was frosted right up and unable to cool any longer. what a damn mess!

Ain't life grand?

I've had the same experience twice. All of a sudden, your refrigerator or freezer turns itself into a slow cooker sans wood chips.

Rest assured that this home of ours (The Tone Rooms) will NEVER be sold to the bot infested company. New bots and joining in here, and getting deleted here on a daily basis. BTW, I was approached about selling TTR to the same people that bought all the other forums. my answer was not NO, my answer was just ignoring them.

You might know the online gear community has made big changes this past year.

A large corporate behemoth suddenly swooped in and scooped up about ten communities many of us know and are members of. They threaten to (if they haven't already) filter in lame "bots" to attempt to spur member engagement and ask lame questions such as "Hey! Is everybody's amplifier tone making you currently pleased?" Even when everybody knows the correct answer to this total dum-dum query is already always "NO!"

Then they collect and sell our data and pictures and surfing habits to other more powerful somewhat humanoid robots habitating large black buildings on a remote island somewhere.

So far, most indications are Wavmixer is not yet an evil AI robot or superwealthy digital oligarch, and this is a good thing.

Our independence from the madness of a gradual slide towards digital tyranny must be treasured and fostered however we can!

Very similar straps crafted by me (without the extra No Prisoners "metal" touch), are priced at over $130 USD and already have 8 watchers in my Reverb store.

Who's got $65 to get to half the regular price?

That's four visits to Starbucks for your fancy White Chocolate Mocha Expresso Frappe Grandes!

If you get $700 for that strap, do I get to keep the rest as a tip? I once had a job in the circus, circumsizing elephants. The pay wasn't much, but the tips were big!

as per the OP, the money will be sent to you, before I ship the strap. Suggest you put any extra towards next years' operating costs,
but at least treat yourself to a nice steak and modest bottle of CabSauv first.
 
Fellas, keep the bids and brotherly elbow-nudges going. I'm packing the camper and shutting the shop for a few days.
I think the freezer situation will hold for a few days. What a load of work! Heading to the lake for a little nature time.
Weather looks a bit sketchy though, unfortunately but summer is flying by, and my wife and I need to chill for a few days.

I am so proud to be a member with you in The Tone Rooms, a virtual palace is populated by a vibrant variety of Kings, Princes, Warriors,
and at least one Warrior-Princess. Communities like this are becoming more and more rare, and can only remain as strong as
the will of we, the members to fight for it.

My amigos, money will flow in and out of our lives, but your good character and respect will wear forever proud like a tattoo on your soul.

Once again, top bid is $200 USD, entered by the intrepid @Sargeant Preston, but a number days still remain before
the auction action closes and the gavel smashes down.

Know that I will be generous in the winning package, because TTR members have been so very generous to me over the years.
A number of them can attest to the general quality of my makings, so please do not let that be even the slightest concern.

Double cheezies guaranteed, a Well-Hung XL T-shirt, and MANY other fun surprises to be included so far. At $300 US or more,
I will not hold back. The winner can expect me to send a jaw-dropping, near-unobtanium amount of surprise and delight that
will make you smile for weeks months and years, and cause you to many chances to remember how you answered the call so valiantly!
 
Got the beer on ice, guitar and songwritin' book tossed onto the upper bunk, cribbage board, (priorities) frisbee, food, first aid kit, a book, bag of fat red cherries, water tank filled... all that and more. Waiting for my wife to get home from her office.

Since this here is The Tone Rooms I took 25 minutes or so to "toan test" the veryvstrap here on auction.

Your mileage may vary, but here's what I hear:
Les Paul ...
Bridge position:
Not quite as "bitey" as a typical strap, a bit rounder, no need to roll off the highs, a little more bloom than usual, like an extra harmonic layer. You can feel it, more than hear it... quite inspiring for wicked salty blues sleaze. Felt way better a couple of notches lower in length.

Neck position: Is a Supreme Being speaking through my guitar? I think he's telling me to play more melodically, to make joyful noises! No... I believe he's MAKING me do it. Incredible!

Strat style: P-90 bridge: this is like the guitar equivalent of famished wolf fangs ripping into a fresh kill, and definitely NOT sharing. OMG makes the small hairs on your arm stand up. a little bit scary.

MIddle single: I heard an eagle's calls echoing through a canyon once at sunset, it sounded lonely, mournful. Just like this. Gives a fella big sads, but why am I also smiling?

Neck single: there was a girl I was with a short time in my early 20's, we volunteered at a radio station together. Filing the singles back in the library after a shift was never ever so much fun. Good thing we were the only people in the building. I Keep thinking her name should have been Mona and I wonder how she got to know all that stuff so young. The sustain here, not typical... seems exaggerated, gotta love it.

Telecaster Esquire bridge:
It's like you're a bandit at the Tone Bank, and the staff and management all have their hands up watching you fill your boots. And, they're encouraging you, nodding towards where all the money is, winking and grinning. Quite fun!

Just a few thoughts there, in case anyone was inclined to be wondering.

It's an awesome looking strap, but let's not overstate its magical powers. :ROFLMAO:
