  1. If you decide to keep it and fix it I have one half set of old tuners with ferrules that would match those I could sent you( strings 6 through 4 )
  2. ha! likewise ! sorry I didnt have more time to hang out
  3. We had a small crowd, of maybe 50 people saturday night . I played wyldbil on "no rest for the wicked" (slide ) and "hoochie coochie man" . we do a rocked up version of both . The picture was taken during" Hoochie Coochie Man" solo , I had the band bring it down before my solo and told the audience what was goin on with the guitar! got big applause for wyldbil . I hope he enjoyed it, I had fun !
  4. bubs_42 next
  5. ^^^yeah I didnt really see doyle or gary do much , played it pretty safe . I didnt really dig gary with his band either. but I enjoyed the show over all . I like you ,thought "fade away "was entertaining and dave played some nice stuff , but he had a couple nice licks in the " the road goes on forever " with joe ely as well. kenny was probably there in support of his new blues release and his recent association with chris layton ( played drums on kenny's last tour )also enjoyed dave grohls little tribute to roky erickson
  6. "David Grissom in the backing band was a total waste but it was good to see him nonetheless." agreed but he did have some moments to shine , I've always been a big fan of his playing especially with joe ely on liberty lunch and love and danger
  7. yes she was , she hosted with jeff bridges
  8. Anyone else watch austin city limits 40 ann celebration ? I really enjoyed It , features , doyle bramhall ,david grissom, gary clark, bonnie raitt, jimmie vaughn , kenny wayne shepard , joe ely , double trouble, alabma shakes and lots of others .
  9. this would be a fantasy gig for me , the amp would be an old maggie , a princeton or a deluxe
  10. I pretty much use my ideal rig , but if I were playing my ideal gig Id probably bring alot more .currently using -cover / blues band : strat , prs McCarty and sometimes an acoustic , originals band : strat , McCarty and Newport. I enjoy playing the newport and feel like I need a strat to cover tunes , the prs I pretty much just use for slide work. for my Ideal gig( fantasy gig ) , id bring :newport, talladega, prs , strat( maybe 2 ) , les paul special /tv and 2 amps. for my ideal gig someone else would be setting up & tearing down.... tonight at the 9th st pub in LaSalle Il 9-1 !
  11. still play about 30 gigs a year , that never gets boring , but practicing does , just do it even on the days its a struggle . .... Ive heard it said there is no such thing as multi tasking , its really just switching focus continually , if there were one could read a book and write one at the same time
  12. never thought of my playing abilities as extreme , but do notice variability day to day , I think its mostly in my head , boredom with myself . seriously I think Thorn has a point , and thats why own several guitars & amps , to overcome ( or at least work around ) self boredom
  13. Its for mexican export sa
  14. I dont know anything about the boat , and have exp with only 2 hamers my newport and tally . Both guitars have slightly larger necks than I'd have thought I would like, but they are very comfortable to play . My theory on this is that the larger neck allows for better action on the fretboard and thumb position on the back of the neck, the tally has a slight v on the back of the neck and feels slightly larger than the newport.
  15. As Hamerica said " you'll regret it ". It should be in the Hamer museum , were there one .
  16. what everyone else said, try and get him to realize on his own ( with a little help) , that that much distortion is a crutch that make his at home alone playing easier to sound good but has no definition and cannot be heard / mixed at all in a live setting without being too loud for his function in the band .
  17. all I remember about that song was learning to smack the guitar hard 3? times to get the last 3 warbled notes of the solo this "flutters" the vibrato while your sliding and bending up the notes . as I remember anyway ( saw brad do it )
  18. paid 400 worth maybe 4000 in todays market, voted 2500 top dollar for me
  19. The full tone has a mix knob , the new ones have a boost as well , when I don't needs tremolo I turn down the mix and use it as a boost at the end of the fx chain
  20. cool , congrats
  21. tommys great ! long time fan here, seen him a lot. hes laughing here cuz I just told him If i could sing like him I'd give him a run for his money ( may have been some beer involved ) If you havent ,check out "Live at the fillmore" or any early stuff with keith crosen on sax .
  22. since randy dead whos sueing ? favorite sprit song : "Fresh Garbage"
