I gave it a couple of spins but maybe I wasn't really paying close attention. I don't know. But at the time I just thought it was OK but nothing special. 6 months or so later I gave another listen and was hooked. I ended up buying most of their records and became a big fan.

Ditto to repoman on "the thought of a wider nut 1-11/16" does intrigue me." I do like 12" and 7.5" neck any day of the week.
Fumble fingers wrote:radius doesn't bother me too much but prefer 12 or more , 7.5 is fine ..... I just got a 1 11/16 nut on my new ASAT BB and the neck as a whole is large , much larger neck than my 1986 Rampage with 1 3/4 nut or a modern Classic C , dwarf's the Leo era neck on my Brodcaster ..... if I had to do over I wouldn't order it , kinda ball bat -ish , especial compared to Classic C , if it was my only guitar I would be fine but it's not ...lol ... still like it but I will never gig with it , which was the purpose of this light weight Empress wood guitar
KenC wrote:I've had that happen several times. A few that come to mind right off are Joy Division (which I hated on the first listen or two), Tom Waits (just clanging and growling until I hit 40), and John Coltrane (my first attempt at listening lasted about five seconds). All of those have been favorites for years now.
blargfromouterspace wrote:Necks - The neck on the Legacy I bought last week may just be a favourite. Its a bit thinner than a regular #1, I think it pre-dates that neck profile system, and a little larger than the neck on my '93 ASAT. I really like the profile on the early '80s SC-2, but would prefer a flatter radius and taller frets. The regular #1 is also comfy. I'm not too fussy really! Still, best neck I've ever felt was on a Music Man, if I didn't hate the look of the guitars I'd have a few of them.
KenC wrote:I had an Eritrean restaurant in my neighborhood when I lived in Cincinnati. It was a favorite of mine, and also something I could always count on my kids to eat when they went through picky phases. I've experimented a lot with Arabic and North African cooking, but never Ethiopian or Eritrean. I would like to give that a shot someday.
sam wrote:I was in DC yesterday but did not have a chance for any special food. I do like Indian food, maybe will go to H street next time. Food wise I would like to learn to cook Arabic food. Saha in San Francisco, on Sutter, is a Arabic fusion restaurant that I will always make a special trip to when in town. I understand they are moving, but will find it for sure.

One thing I've struggle with is fried noodle dishes.I really miss being able to get them without making an hour and a half drive into town. I invested in a large gas burner when I bought a whole bunch of stuff for home brewing but even that doesn't throw out enough heat to get that essential char happening. Next thing I plan on cooking is a chicken in walnut sauce recipe from a book on Russian cuisine I have.
