Hamerhack

Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side. Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind? Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road; She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair; Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care. Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker, We could make music at the Greasy King. Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker, Won't you ride on my fast machine? Anybody know what guitar/amp that is?

Although I didn't start playing electric guitar until many years later, I'll never forget the first time I heard the opening riff of "Over, Under, Sideways, Down". That tone!!! Other early ones: The lead in Mitch Ryder's "Sock It To Me, Baby" Count 5: "Psychotic Reaction" What were the first tones that really caught your ear?

Yikes! The Hamer was never going to spend the night in the car! My original plan was to bury the amp under all the junk my wife and daughter will inevitably bring. (3 nights on the road... better bring everything!) I guess I'll just put the amp in last and unload it first. This drummer has a recording studio in his house. He's very good, I'm so-so at best. He thinks after 30 years I'm gonna finally be able to play some Mahavishnu Orchestra! (I am frantically practicing "The Dance of Maya", but I think I'll try and keep things "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" simple.) By the way, Greg, thanks for all your advice, bench reports, and photos! I appropriated a blue quilt Studio Custom for my desktop.

Thanks, Greg... I was kinda thinking that. I think I'll have my son lug it in! Condensation isn't a potential problem?

Hey, there... a Longtime Lurker and bedroom hack here. My old college roomate went to see Cream at MSG last Oct. He got me a T-Shirt and is holding it hostage until I come up there with my Artist Custom and Rivera Fandango. (Back in college, he had his double bass Rogers drums and I had an Ampeg V4 and 4x12 in our dorm room! Gibson Marauder (since given to my son) was my guitar then) (Still have the Ampeg, too) Anyhoo... the Rivera Fandango (55 watt tube amp) is pretty heavy. Is it okay to leave it in the car overnight if it's cold out, or should I take it into the hotel? Thanks!
