Interesting. I love the drive this amp had, it's what I here in my head. The more I learn the more I realize that my approach to getting what I think I hear is a little off. Not bad just not exact.

Is the JPM and the JCM800 to completely different amps? Notice they were both badged 2204, just wondering, because I'm interested in finding a JMP 50 watter, the one I found in Ohio sounded great but it need some work (Scratch Pots, Broken Knobs, just plane dirty) and I would already be deep into it.

How about Quad?

Glad you made it out OK. But I'm tired of this rain already. Gustav is Raining on Peoria right now.

I've seen them twice this year, and it has been out both times.. I love that guitar!

Didn't realize you guy's were not looking at the same guitar I was... http://cgi.ebay.com/Hamer-Artist-Ultimate-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Semi-hollow with an ebony fretboard? (o.k., so it doesn't have an f-hole ). -Austin Not having an F'in hole is no problem. That is a good looking guitar and a good snag. I have an 81 Flying V with an Ebony Board but sorry to say that guitar is one dimentional. It Rocks but, i would love a guitar that gets a little jazzy and rude at the same time. I'm thinking Walsh and Frampton. A lot of LP Custom's working. I'll start looking when I get off my butt and actually get serious about selling my 91 Sunburst.

Darn, when you ad a zero to $350 that makes a deal killer!

That's what I'm missing, a Semi Hollow with and Ebony Board.. That's a great guitar even if it has Gold Hardware..

Yes, anyone can attend, and a homebrew would be great! Right now we're going back and forth between Saturday August 16 and Saturday August 23 at Superior Street Studios in Chicago. We'll pick one of those two dates for sure by the end of the week. Link to the facility: http://www.superiorst.com Cool! those days are good for me. Aug 9th is the only bad one. edited to add... Sweet, I would love to attend... This sounds great ! BTW, I used to practice there with my old band. Nice place.

I'm telling you guy's don't make me do it !!!!

Awsome, we need a good upbeat thread around here. Looks like an awsome trip !

LOL, would you..... Not me, I have two and I would still buy a third if I could.

I didn't see that....

Call then, or email. If the Darkburst has the case and Original Pot's, a set of Paf's will come around.

Sorry for being late... My our Prayer and Wishes be with you..

87 to 92/93 they were the wilkenson nut's then they switched to the LSR nut. I have a SilverBurst 91 with the Wilkenson and a Pewter 91 that has been fitted with the LSR. Both Good nut's and I have not issues. Story goes that fender replaced faulty Wilky's with the LSR. My guess is that it was cheaper to use the LSR since they could use the Fender Nut Slot... Either way, they work! NOT TO MENTION, that the string tention is improved, no string tree required.

It needs some work -- I can't keep it tune worth shit. The nut is binding big time from what I can tell, and every time I engage the trem, all the strings go sharp. I'm gonna have to take it to my tech for sure. Any of you Strat lovers have any tuning tips? I do like the sound and vibe of it though, and it's a blast to play...very different from what I usually use. Only one suggestion.... Strat Plus Baby!!! Get you a fender Roller Nut. I have two Early 90's Strat Plus's and I never have anytuning problems and they both sound great.

Look's like i'm in! What's the Head Count look like now? Are we throwing a song list together?

that turned out different than what i had in my head but it's better.. Your going to have a unique one !

I would just keep repeating it to yourself...

Very Few...

This thread needs to go away! I'm starting to get the feeling.....
