oh how I'd love to be able to play slide like that


seriously, when he starts playing Little Martha I nearly came...
I didn't watch that until now. I didn't even know Jerry was still alive yet playing. :sad:
Damn I gotta try and call the man. Last time I saw him I was about 18.

I'm not much of a bluegrass fan, but dobro music is always awesome, I can't find any of his solo stuff anywhere though :/

caribou?

I've never seen one in my entire life, you know that?

I'll just take a moose, they are in mucher greater supply here




and damn, I'm moved back to my home town now, and I'm using this wireless stick based on a sim card, it's supposed to be fast... 3g and all that bull****, christ it took 3minutes just to load this page, pathetic


it's so slow I can't even get to my profile :cry:

[imgooley]

So you can't listen to my new br00talz clip? :(

[Carswell98]

So you can't listen to my new br00talz clip? :(


I'm afraid so man :(

it also means no pirating lots of new music to expand my horizons, no uploading my own tunes, no youtube,


but lol

so I switched to our old dial up connection and it's about 10x faster than this week old brand new network stick

still not quick enough to do anything useful though

I'm pretty disappointed, the internet is awesome

[imgooley]

:(


Oh, well, that means more time to play guitar.

Go to an Internet Cafe and listen to mah br00tz

[Carswell98]

:(


Oh, well, that means more time to play guitar.

haha, yep.

always an upside I suppose, I really am going to miss getting new music all the time though, I live for finding new music, and Canadian record shops blow.

I'll find a way to listen to it soon enough goolz

but I'ma gonna sign off now, I'm wrecked from packing furniture around all damn day :haha

later man.

[JilaX^]

Aww, that sucks man.

At least now you have to stop wasting all your time on the internet. :haha

[slidething31]

I hate getting drawn into the arguing in the Mayer thread, but some of the stupidity makes it so hard to resist...

[ze monsta]

:haha I agree with some of the statements about him drawing people into blues that wouldn't otherwise listen to it though, and that he's made his own kinda style. I appreciate that, but all the arguing about how good he and other people are, is completely subjective - and therefore pointless.

[slidething31]

Although Derek Trucks is most certainly a better guitarist. :D

And I just bought tickets to see him in a month or so. :cool:

[JilaX^]

Luck bastard :o

He's gonna blow your mind!

[TNfootballfan62]

DTB was absolutely amazing when I saw them.I hated for that show to end. You'll most certainly enjoy yourself.

[slidething31]

I know, I can't wait. I saw him with the ABB, but I think with his band, he has a bit more freedom to really stretch out.

[JilaX^]

Yup, that is the whole point of having your own band ;)

[Carswell98]

hey guys,

so, it's tax time, and I'll be recieving about $1300Can pretty quick


ideas?

cheap guitars, I need suggestions.

[imgooley]

If you've got 500, pick up an Ibanez AR500.

[Carswell98]

not a bad idea, I've always liked the artcore models actually, that and I'm looking for something with humbuckers this time around

I"m just buzzing around ebay atm looking around, and I'm quite excited now, I'll finally be able to afford some of the things I"ve been wanting

I'm also going to have my bd-2 keeley-fied

and look for a delay pedal, and I'm really really leaning towards a hardwire delay pedal, they are incredible for the price

Get a Carbon Copy ;)

I picked up a tremolo pedal recently. It's great for teh cleanz and ****.

I just want a **** load of fuzzes, now, really. That and a few more guitars :o

Sorry I was gone all weekend.
I used to know him. I haven't seen him in over 30 years. We hung out in the same crowd. Was a nice guy. Probably still is.

[ze monsta]

Gig was pretty sick, me and the other guitarist got in a big fight with a drunk "17" year old who looked about 25. Had an awesome time though. :) I want ****loads of synths. :haha

[RubberSoul54321]

Right, I've been mucking around trying to get a sound close to Clutch. I'm using a POD UX1 -have a listen please and let me know what you think - it's the riffs from Mice and Gods. It's supposed to be an Orange amp head with a Tubescreamer in front of it but I think maybe too much gain?

I don't mind the carbon copy, I tried one recently, but the hardwire is just a more versatile pedal, the hardwire has decent analog emulation, as well as squeaky clean digital stuff and a loop function, it's built like a tank and I've heard nothing but very psitive reviews, though the same goes for the carbon copy I suppose,

when I get ma moneys I'll go back and check them out side by side

and I would like a few different fuzzes as well, there are some absolutely sexy fuzz pedals out there, that and my American Big Muff is just a crazy pedal, I'd like to have a look for something a little more fuzz-facey, like, a little more like a cross between a tubescreamer and a fuzz than the balls-to-walls tone of the ehx

and you know I never did ask how that fuzz you got a while back turned out?

how is it?

and I don't need a trem pedal, hehe :p:

no actually the onboard trem on the delta blues is pretty ****ty


oh and I've been thinking about it, and I've been looking at epi Sg's like you said a few days ago, they are very reasonable price, for the price of a cheap g-400 on ebay I could also afford to put some good pups in it, and I'd have a solild guitar to work with, something I've been itching for for quite some time

Sorry I was gone all weekend.I used to know him. I haven't seen him in over 30 years. We hung out in the same crowd. Was a nice guy. Probably still is.


really? do you have any more friends we should be made aware of Don? :p:

I've got 2 fuzzes in the recent months :o

One of them is really good for what I do, and it matches up with my amps nice, but the other one isn't to my tastes. Not enough bottom end for me. It's still a pretty good pedal. I'll sell it to you for 30 bucks :o

There are a ton of great fuzzes to look at. I'm gassin hard for a Maleko Barker Assmaster.

Also: I might end up getting a G-400 as well. I hate Epi headstocks, though.

[Jackal58]

really? do you have any more friends we should be made aware of Don? :p:
I got thrown in jail with Dave Hlubeck in Mobile Al. for public intoxication.
I drink in excess with Rob Ritchie 3 or 4 times a year.
Harrison Ford bought me dinner once. (I worked on his airplane)

[JilaX^]

Wow...
You've really lived the life, haven't you? :o

[slidething31]

Would you say Harrison Ford in real life is more like Jack Ryan, Indiana Jones, or Han Solo?

Wow...

I was thrown out of E. Germany at gunpoint too. :o

None of the above. He was really quite shy.

That's a little disappointing... Sounds like you've had some adventures though.

Anyway, I'm off to start my day. :)

if you aren't you're missing out, man, they have demos of craploads of fuzzes there, it'll make your GAS a hundred times worse though

what part pf the epi headstocks don't you like?

I don't mind the inlay tbh, it's not horrible

I don't mind their acoustics, I really like the materials they use , some of their guitars feel like pieces of raw wood, which is pretty cool

[ze monsta]

Yeah I know that. :p:

The guitar was so nice to play and had such a great sound.

Man I haven't bought me anything in decades. I just might.

Dude, you should get an Edwards LP special. those are sweet.

Also: The 5th Avenue is drop dead gorgeous. I played a Parkwood archtop last week, though, that absolutely slayed the 5th avenue.

Of course! I've seen every fuzz and overdrive demo on the site :haha

And I just don't like the way they look. If they were the standard open book style, it'd be fine, and the epi headstocks look fine on epi original's like the Sheraton and the Emperor, but on the LP's and the SG's, they look retarded. I think I'll get a Firebird Studio, though, and spruce it up.

[JilaX^]

Of course! I've seen every fuzz and overdrive demo on the site :haha

My wife and I went on a day trip to E.Berlin while I was in the Army. The Stasi followed western tourists around so we decided to fuck with the one following us. We would cross a street and wait for him to do the same and then wave at him and cross again. Duck around corners and wait for him to come running up to where we were standing and have a laugh at him. Lasted about a half hour before a car full of very large guys with AK47s showed up and threw us out.

Don, me too. From playing my friends John Mayer strat, I really wanted one. But now I'm in a huuuuge black keys phase and I want a semi hollowbody. I also want a Microkorg. :sad:

[Blackwaterson89]

Hi new in this thread, so hello.

Is anyone else when they hear Freddie King become overjoy?I brought my first cd of his and its barely left the cd player.

[ze monsta]

Howdy. What's your name?

And yes. Freddie King = amazing
His phrasing is so different to most other guitarists, that's what I love about him. And his tone. And his voice. :p:

[Blackwaterson89]

My name is Brandon. His attack is whats get me. So much emotion in just one note. Have you ever woman just hits me in my core.

[Jackal58]

Don, me too. From playing my friends John Mayer strat, I really wanted one. But now I'm in a huuuuge black keys phase and I want a semi hollowbody. I also want a Microkorg. :sad:

I think I'm going to hit the last of my corn liquor :o

[JilaX^]

How are y'all?

Just spent Tuesday to Sunday up at our cabin...
No internet ftl.

Still had my Strat and a lil' amp so I survived :haha

[ze monsta]

I'm good...I haven't been posting much recently. :sad:

I really want a Microkorg. My band is steadily becoming more electro and disco, and verging on psychedelia . Strange seeing as we started as a blues covers band :haha

[ze monsta]

:wavey:

Hai guyz?? :confused:

Where'd they all go? :sad:

[barefootboy]

Ze! You didn't just use the dreaded D-word? You've got to look great in a pastel leisure suit. He he he he! And don't forget the gold chain and platform heel shoes.

[ze monsta]

:haha

Not bad disco :p: More rave influenced. It more dance/pop music. Theres lots of very good Pop music, popular in England (or perhaps more specifically London) right now. It's cool, and we wanna make people dance. It's all a bit tongue in cheek :)



And I always look good. ;)

[barefootboy]

Making folks dance gets the band asked back again. That's not a bad thing. There's a lot of people that never learn that. In the name of artistic integrity they refuse to play what the people want to hear. I'm glad you guys learned to adapt.

[imgooley]

I kinda want to get a funk band going so I can get people dancing.

[ze monsta]

Do it! :cool:

Making folks dance mean everyone has a good time, which is obviously, what we want. I've been listening to a ton of shoegaze right now...It's such a contrast with all the perfect sounding pop music :haha

[JilaX^]

My band doesn't make people dance, but they still have a good time :shrug:

[ze monsta]

:shrug: We're teenagers, playing gigs to teenagers, not in pubs though, so I think that might be the difference. Folks my age go out to:

1) Get teh drunks. Sad, but true.
2) Get teh sexorzrd.
3) Get teh danced.

:shrug: At our last gig, we were literally passing around vodka to the folks at the front. :haha I love gigging though, such a cool way to meet people.

[JilaX^]

Ah, there's the difference.
We're playing to the elder crowds :haha

[ze monsta]

I might be going to see Tinchy Stryder tomorrow night. :haha

[barefootboy]

Ah, there's the difference.
We're playing to the elder crowds :haha


Hey hey now, we play to the golf course crowd. And they dance. The three teenagers really get a charge out of that.

[imgooley]

I think I'm going to try and go to some open mic nights and do some solo acoustic blues :o

I'd probably go to scope out the folks first, though.

[wholelottabon]

anybody here go to the byron bay blues festival? its in australia but there where lots of people who had came overseas specifically for the festival.
the day i went was the best 14 hours of my life, i saw eugene bridges, john butler trio, chase the sun, watermelon slim,blues traveler and jeff lang was amazing, there were heaps of others but i cant quite remember.
oh and is jeff lang considered blues? he sounds kinda like folk music on steroids but has alot of blues influence, i wasnt sure were to make a thread about him

[barefootboy]

Hello, Any one here?

Hey Goolz, Did ya go to the open mic? I'd have to go as a duet at a minimum. No confidence in my ability as a solo performer. No problem as a group, I can hide amongst the others. In other words they can carry me. hehe

[ze monsta]

I'd like to go to an open mic, but I thinks I'm too young. I'm almost more confident on my own :confused: because I know theres no one else there to make mistakes, and it's all down to me - Only I can only let myself down. :)

There in lies the problem. I'm really good at letting myself down. I don't relax when I play solo. (At least in front of a crowd) Trying too hard to be perfect.

Practice makes perfect I guess, I always play songs to sing to, so that might be apart of it. :shrug:

Braedon! :wavey: I knows you're here...

[imgooley]

Hello, Any one here?

Hey Goolz, Did ya go to the open mic? I'd have to go as a duet at a minimum. No confidence in my ability as a solo performer. No problem as a group, I can hide amongst the others. In other words they can carry me. hehe
No :( I need an acoustic :o

I did do a hack blues recording though :)

[MrBlues]

anybody here go to the byron bay blues festival? its in australia but there where lots of people who had came overseas specifically for the festival.
the day i went was the best 14 hours of my life, i saw eugene bridges, john butler trio, chase the sun, watermelon slim,blues traveler and jeff lang was amazing, there were heaps of others but i cant quite remember.
oh and is jeff lang considered blues? he sounds kinda like folk music on steroids but has alot of blues influence, i wasnt sure were to make a thread about him

so badly i wanted to go! i live in melbourne so im gonna road trip it next year, when i get my lisence.

[JilaX^]

HOLY SHIT!

BOTH BUDDY GUY AND JOE BONAMASSA ARE COMING TO THE BIGGEST BLUES FESTIVAL IN NORWAY THIS SUMMER!

I'm about to wet myself with Joy...

[wholelottabon]

Cool man, i might see you there next year, but theres so many good acts on at once its hard to decide which stage to go too, i was so bummed when i realised i missed dan auerbach ( he was solo, not with the black keys)

[MrBlues]

yer i know i was gonna see him at 'the corner' as a bluesfest side show but ended up not being able to. haha probably i think ill camp if i get the tickets in time and go for the full 5 days.

[Jackal58]

Norway has a blues festival? Who knew. :shrug:

[JilaX^]

Actually, we have more blues festivals than you'd know ;)

Artists tend to love to come here to play them.

Kim Wilson loves playing at Notodden (Which is the festival Buddy and Joe are coming to) and hooked up a group with Charlie Musslewhite and James Cotton last year, so that he could come play.

Jack Bruce is bringing some guys aswell

[Jackal58]

I was just teasing.

[JilaX^]

I figured ;)

[Jackal58]

Where has everybody gone?
And speaking of everybody wtf happened to Kris? I haven't seen him in ages.

[ze monsta]

I dunno, he hasn't been here in AGES.
Eric came back a while ago, for a few weeks. :shrug:

[RubberSoul54321]

Went to guitar shop today with my mate who was buying a Tele. I spied a black Gretsch Electromatic double cut hollowbody so I thought I'd have a go on it. I almost soiled myself. The sound, feel look: everything about this guitar gave me the shivers. Want one. Want one really badly. £520. What to do?

[ze monsta]

Buy it.

[RubberSoul54321]

I know. I keep looking at the picture and the more I do, the more I want it. I don't have the cash though :( I need a plan...

[ze monsta]

Is it this? http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/5/2/7/561527.jpg That really is beautiful :sad:

[RubberSoul54321]

That's the lady right there! It's too much temptation. Early birthday pressie mebbe?

[ze monsta]

I think it will have to be ;)

[RubberSoul54321]

But now I'm thinking about the single cut. Dilemmas. Does anyone have one of these? Either the single or double cut?

[imgooley]

:wavey:

[RubberSoul54321]

Does that mean you've got one or are you just sayin hello?

[Carswell98]

hello guys, hows it going?,
anything new around here?

Neil young was amazing last week

and I found a gibson SG for $900cdn in a music shop while down south for the concert, it's used but it's in great shape

if I get my freaking taxes anytime soon I'm buying it

[JilaX^]

I think he's just trying to see if this thread has been totally abandoned. :p:


Not much new around here, I guess.

That's great man, I hope you get that axe :cheers:
Nothing as good as a new axe...

I'm having trouble dividing the time between my two ladies without feeling guilty...
Yes, I need to get a life, or laid or something :haha

[Jackal58]

Get laid. Life is overrated.

[JilaX^]

:haha

I guess I know what to do then...

To Alcohol, the solution and causew of all life's problems.

Booze is the answer.
Anybody remember the question?

[barefootboy]

^ Where's the booze?

[Jackal58]

Well that simplifies my life.

[ze monsta]

Hey guys :wavey:

Brae, go get that guitar!

I haven't been around much recently, really busy with school now, and for the past few days planning my route/map because I have a trek thingy tomorrow and saturday.... :facepalm:
Should be a laugh, hehe. My friend has absinthe and is planning to get ecstasy :haha

You know if you drink enough, that will make sense. At that point, it is not a good idea to drive in this state.

That is so true, aswell.

[Axegrinder#9]

hey ya'll.

[meh!]

Probably a better place to grab you guys attention:

Check the official AOTM thread and the suggestions thread!

[barefootboy]

I succumbed to the GAS that has been paining me. $50 and a 250 mile road trip led to the acquisition of a 8 year old silver sparkle Jagmaster. I loved the looks of the Jaguars and Mustangs but hated the cheap looking switches (IMHO) on them. And yes I have a clip from her maiden voyage.

As you wish. It played so sweet I couldn't pass it up. It fits with the half stack in the picture too. The head on the half stack is my first amp from the late 60's. I was a dumb a$$ and sold the cab and the strat that I had back then. Look at what '67 starts sell for and you will know why I kick my self in the a$$. The jagmaster has a wonderful bright surf tone on the neck and a growling bluesy rock on the bridge. This could become a favorite real fast.

[ze monsta]

Shmexy. I like how odd it is :)
I'd really like a jazzmaster right now, and lotsa effects. I'll either buy a Big Muff this week, or keep saving for a Line6 DL-4. :)

^Those boys have been around for a while. They've got a ton of recordings out. I don't think that they've made to the states.

[ze monsta]

Yeah I know they have, my brother had their first album since it came out, but over this past weekend it's been playing in my head on repeat :p: I'm really loving BRMC today, but yesterday it was all about Clapton, the bluesbreakers and Peter Green. :haha

[barefootboy]

Peter Green was all last week. :haha This week it's been the Beatles. I just got a two disc BBC recording of some early stuff. And I likey.

[ze monsta]

I love PG, his playing was so natural. One of my favourite guitarists. :)

[meh!]

c'mon, you know you wanna sign up for AOTM ;)

[imgooley]

I haven't written an AOTM in a while.

But I'll do it for next month :o

[JilaX^]

Man, Little Walter needs to get out of mah head :o

[imgooley]

It's so hard to cop that Little Walter harp tone, IMO, unless you have an amp to do it with. It does not work with my Epi.

[JilaX^]

I don't think anyone ever really got it down.
Those who followed him in Muddy's group sure did try though.

And, it's more than just the amp. Although that is a big factor.
My cousin recorded on a Vintage '52 or '54 Bassman recently... Shiiiiiiiiiit, that's what I call harp tone.

[ze monsta]

:wavey:

Blues Harp is an amazing sound. The way in which it's played within a song is like nothing else.

Gonna buy a Big Muff Pi w/ Tone Wicker tonight. :)

[JilaX^]

Indeed.

Gratz man!
It's fuzz time? :D

What mod is that? Btw.

I think a perfect harp amp would be a 57 Super, a 63 Gemini, or an old National lapsteel amp.

I've been running my harp through all of my amps, and for recording, the Vox I have does the best, tbh.

[ze monsta]

Hey Goolz :)

I left my band last night. For musical reasons and friendships:sad:. Starting up another band with the drummer and another friend who plays good guitar. :)

I was gutted when I mentioned to the guitarist in my now ex-band, that I was thinking about leaving. This guy is one of my best mates and just said, "OK kl". At that point, the doubts I had were confirmed, and I decided I'd had enough of it. :o

[JilaX^]

Man, that sucks. Bands breaking up is always harsh :sad:
Particularly when they're like that. What a bitch.

Good luck with the new project though :D


Goolz, yeah a 57 Super would be *drool* for harp. (and guitar, naturally)
I'll see if I can link you the take they did of "Standing Around Cryin'" for that session, freaking spot on for Juniors tone.

[ze monsta]

The horrible part was when I was told by the other guitarist that me leaving the band would make it easier for them. Not to sound big headed, but I thought I held the band up.

The Drummer assumed it was the end of the band, and before me mentioning starting another one he told me if he was ever going to start another band or join one he would want me to join as a singer. This was heart warming to hear. Also, the bassist, my best friend, said "I'd like to think we could carry this on without you, and just find someone else, but deep down I know it's impossible."

I'm looking forward to this new venture, the other guitarist is a tone freak, like myself even if I don't voice it that much in here anymore. We're probably gonna share bass duties. He's on these boards as well. :) We're big into feedback, fuzz, echo and reverb, oscillations and also the blues. :) Should be a fun mix.

[JilaX^]

That's always a fun mix ;)

can't imagine what it would be like to play in a band with another tone freak. I'm the only one in all bands I've played in. The other guy just plugs in and plays >.>'
Thank god he's better at harp than guitar, eyh? ;)
But, nah. He sounds good on gitfiddle aswell.

Hah, well. Some people just don't see how important other members in the band are, and think they are the center. (Not thinking of you, the other guy.) Just the way it is. He'll realize what made the band, in time.

[ze monsta]

The ex-guitarist was a plug in and play person. That got on my nerves :haha. And he's use a really **** Zoom multi-fx pedal which would boost the sound loads, and he'd always have it on something awful like "Vai-tone with reverse echo and phaser and octavia" or something stupid. :rolleyes:

But why stay in a band with friends when it ****s with your friendship? But still, saying that, the bassist and guitarist didn't say a word to me yesterday.



My Big Muff still hasn't ****ing arrived. I ordered it on Wednesday evening. It says next working day delivery. :angry: And it says I should be able to track it on the delivery company's website, but when I put in the order number I was given for them, it says "this job doesn't exist". I have a really badly sprained ankle so I can't do any sports or go out because walking hurts too much, I've ripped several Ligaments in my foot, my friends are pretty much blanking me coz of this band thing and my big muff isn't here to waste time I should be revising.

Hahaha. GOD that would piss me off. The other guitarists in the bands I've played in plug into Randall RG75s.... Hate those amps with a passion >.>'

Well, that's the sort of things that happen in bands. You're pretty tightly knit, and you work closely together, and everyone has a different view of what's going on. Makes for rough breaks.

Awww, man that sucks. Sounds like it's time to play the blues... (Or video games, if that's your thing.)


Played some with 2 of my cousins tonight, at a confirmation. Acoustically of all things.
So 2x Acoustic guitars + Stand up bass.

Maaaan, that was fun. They're both terrific players. Not used to playing on an acoustic though, but slap on a capo and pretty you're Jimmie Vaughan. That makes everything all right ;) Jamming = lots of fun.

And Goolz, just be happy you have all the gear you have :o

Some of us only have a Fulltone OCD to use regularly :sad:

Can't get enough fuzz. Not that i've ever owned one. But, still. ;)

Nothing quite like a new guitar :D
It'll be a long while till I get a new one... Gotta buy a new laptop instead.
And some new pick ups for my strat ^^

[ze monsta]

Next guitar I get will be a jazzmaster I think. That'll be a long way off though, I'm GASing for lots of pedals. Goolz, go get your muff fixed!!!

urik is supposed to run the duels, however this stupid idea of losers duels, completely screwed the whole thing over.

[strawforest007]

I'm here every day 'lurking' and I've not spotted Urik about for a fair while (and everyone else!), so I presumed we were all waiting for him to get back? I don't mind picking up the duels where it was left, but I won't be using the losers from the first round. If you guys don't mind that then feel free to revive the thread and I'll get it kick-started straight into the next round before it's forgotton...

[ze monsta]

Do it. They were good.

[necrosis1193]

Anyone remember my big muff I ordered? It still hasn't been sent. They said it would be despatched today, after it being two fridays ago I think. Now they say it "might" be despatched on thursday. How ****ing useless are they :mad: :mad: :mad:

****ing A, the John Mayer thread :facepalm:

I know, he's ridiculous. The thing he said about dynamics just proves your point further.

And, I know your opinion, and he's just forwarding stereotypes you don't follow. The thing about an Old Black Man, is the funniest of all. Because, all the black blues greats, where usually young. Little Walter, was 18 or so on his first recordings...

[imgooley]

Lol, I know. My favorite band is The Black Keys, and they're two young white dudes from Ohio that play the blues :haha

[JilaX^]

Exactly :haha

To me, what is the blues and what isn't. Isn't defined by something like that.
It's just. All blue music is the blues. The genre blocks are slowly disappearing. Rock & Roll, R&B, Soul, (Some) Country. It can all be the blues, it just depends on who's behind the instruments.

Been a while since I've been round these parts, but thought I'd tell you, in about half an hour I'm heading to Ireland, for next weekends Rory Gallagher tribute festival (stopping in Dublin first for a bit) so I'll bring you plenty of gig pictures ;)

Lucky. Well, post those pics in the Rory thread when you get back. If you hadn't already thought of that. :p: :D

What happened: I smoked a whole lot of bud. I drank 3/4 of a huge bottle of vodka. Apparently I ran into a tree. :haha The daytime was the sickest cotch, but night time was apparently pretty bad. :facepalm:

The person that phoned my rents is on UG, we've been planning to start a band for a while. But the drummer pulled out. :grrr:

The John Mayer thread is stupid. :cheers: Sometimes they talk sense, other times they chat so much breeze. :haha

I crave music right now :)

[Highbinder]

Do want. What model is that?

And Gus, what the **** happened?

EL00 IIRC.

Vodka is awesome, just. Control yourself in regard to how much you consume.

Hahaha, they really are :sad:
Fact is, they don't know anything about the blues, yet point themselves out as experts :facepalm:

How have you been dude?
Long time no see...

Sounds great.

I loved that album for a while, it's got some good tunes on it.

[ze monsta]

Braedon! :wavey: How you bein fella?

I have a blues deluxe. :)

[JilaX^]

Hot Rod, or the Tweed thingy? (Or the old SF amps?"
Hot Rod and the SF's sound fantastic...

F that, get a Tele and an Ampeg Jet. Or a Gretsch and a Blues Custom 30 ;)

[ze monsta]

the tweed thing. It's apart of the hotrod range thingy. OD channel is ****e, cleans are amazing.

[pak1351]

Jets are out of my price range, never seen one used. Thought about a tele, rather have a strat right now, with a rosewood fingerboard. Was thinking of a hotrod bjr and sticking a nice weber alnico in there, doing the bill m mods and whatnot.

I'm getting a guy to do a custom maple 1x12 for a decent price, and planning to stick a palomino head on top of it, with the eminence greenback clone, then I'll sell my other amps and pick up a strat and aby box. Looks like lots of overtime this summer.

Anyone else have any gear plans?

[JilaX^]

Ah.
Not a great fan of that one, but the cleans certainley are great.

That sounds like a nice plan. I might throw an GB clone in my Palomino cab, with an Emi Swamp thang.

I need a new guitar.

[JilaX^]

Don't we all, Goolz?

A Tele and a hollowbody and a Goldtop with P90s, that's what I need :haha

[imgooley]

Forget a Goldtop. If I ever get a Les Paul, it'll be a Black Beauty.
