Have at 'er, boys!

I like the Boss stuff, mainly because it's way more user-friendly than the Line 6 stuff (I thought anyway). And you can tweak the shit out of them. The delays and reverbs on the Boss are killer, and 'manual mode' is worth the price of admission alone.

Check here: Blitz page Serial Steve might be able to help you with numbers. And that's a BLITZ, not an Explorer!

Welcome. Nice to see you made it. The Blitz is a great guitar and the Zebras are very cool. You can learn a lot from the guys here. Maybe even pick up a nice Hamer along the way.

I emailed the seller. I think he really didn't know what he had. It seems a buddy told him it was a 'Ted Nugent Signature Series' guitar. Being a Metallica nut, he figured it was true, since Hammett, Hetfield and Mustaine all have thier own sig series. While he might have approached the sale the wrong way, I'd have to cut him some slack. He was at least decent enough to pull the auction. I steered him this way. Maybe there'll be a Zebra Blitz up for sale here.

Go Ted

So, what's it like? Being dumber than a 'bunch of monkeys', I mean. And, of course, that's not your family. For that you'd need a dick.

41? A mere pup! Happy Birthday, Dave!

I made up some washers like Jeff R was talking about, and it works pretty well. Mine are turned to the diameter of the anchor on one end, and the other end is opened up enough so the bottom of the stud (the part that the tailpiece actually sits on) fits inside. When you tighten the studs down, it removes the play between the studs and tailpiece, and locks the tailpiece to the guitar, but keeps it high enough to clear the back of the bridge. You don't get the extra string length, but I think it works OK. I always thought the one problem with TonePros is they didn't address the slop in the threads between the stud and the anchor. This does that by allowing you to actually snug the studs down. And that's why: SUSTAIN BLOCKS RULE!!

Eruption.

I don't know how many radios I've nearly busted doing that exact thing. And Coldplay, too. I'd rather jam unsharpened pencils in my ears.

OOH! OOH!! I can play this time!! Great guit I got from Zoner. It'll be staying.

Happy Birthday, bud. I hope all is well.

I say that every time I see Eric Johnson. Or Satriani. Or Vai. Or etc, etc, etc.......

DAMMIT! I've been wanting to go again since the one a couple years back. Last year something came up at the last minute, and this year I'm playing the 22nd. Dammit! I think I'll just quit my band.

Definitely use the downtime to practice. I did that for about 20 years. Now I'm in a good band having to alot of fun. It helps to have your brain in the proper place.

Thanks ceeb! Worked like a charm.

How many times does a guy have to do this one simple thing before he can remember how to do it without asking? I'm such a veg. A little help?

Ignoring it ain't so bad. It's when you hear them bitchin' about it is when you have a problem. It means your amp ain't loud enough.

Happy New Year everyone!! I didn't realize how much wheelin' and dealin' I did until I started this list. Holy shit - my wife is right - I DO have a problem!

Willie G. -I've been a ZZ Top fan since - well, forever - and I didn't know that. You may be splitting hairs (or whiskers, as the case may be) since their 'ZZ Top's 1st Album' release features the same tres hombres.

Isn't ZZ Top the same 3 guys since the beginning of time? It's always been Billy, Dusty and Frank as long as I can remember. I saw Head East with the bass player being the only original - many years ago. Does that count?

Ugly gray '81 Special bought in '87. Still have it. Still #1. I'll be playin' that one with Jimi and Elvis.

You are so spoiled. Nice job, ya little weenie. :angry:

I just watched all of it and that is some of the best live VH I've ever seen. Eddie is/was the master of controlled disaster. 'Falling down the stairs and landing on your feet'...indeed.
