  1. Or Not Steve and Not Chris
  2. Still got mine, including the sustainblock trem arm hardware.
  3. Glad you enjoyed. That was Robert Calvert, who had done spoken word pieces in concert with them until enlisted as lead vocalist 75-78). It reminded me at the time of some of the half-sung, half spoken vocals of early punk as well as you noted Kraftwerk. Decades later I learned John Lydon had been an early concert goer/fan and hungout with them backstage, before forming Sex Pistols.
  4. Just one of those things. It was my Dark Side of the Moon, Fragile, etc. Both sides, every day, for 6 months.
  5. Valid point, but if you've done Tonex or others menu diving, this is simple. WYSIWYG - What you see is what you get.
  6. Im just more from the Blackmore school of Strats. Bridge and neck only. Never done what he did, resale value and all.
  7. The almighty Hawkwind. Critics just ended up putting them in their own sub-genre.
  8. Epiphone Casino 2018 and new PRS DGT SE for Guitars. DGT has been on my want list since they came out. The Casino has become my favorite around the house guitar. Probably the easiest player Ive ever touched and acoustically loud. Pickups are decent for clean, but a bit muddy under ovedrive. Am going to swap out and change to 50s wiring. Fryette PS100. Absolute game changer for me.
  9. Fantastic. Smart, killer player, and just cool. Petes a guy I would like to hang out with.
  10. One of the 10? That looks very similar to one I had once that was on their splash page. A bit darker. Sold it to the Texas Robin Hoover dude, Dan Kashola.
  11. Loosen tension on strings till it lays flat. Super Glue. You're Welcome.
  12. Actually have this, made me laff; was 99 cents in a bin. It sounds like you probably imagine.
  13. YouTube was having big problems in US and other some others. Its back now.
  14. I did watch but to be fair he covered how to sound like Jimi 1) equipment-related tones and 2) guitar playing technique. He only really did a subset of 1) so he could focus on 2) which was his main thrust. And the Much More interesting part imho. Playing at the edge of the fretboard on neck pickup blew my mind. I immediately recognized it from a lot of his songs. However, unless you use a cranked Marshall you can't do "Wild Thing" and a lot from Monterey. Screaming but glassy. Props to Otis Reading, but I wore out Jimi's side of the album. But yes, he did a full fretboard slide also, lol.
  15. A 90s G&L ASAT is my current player. 2nd time I've owned it; brother and I sell/trade stuff back and forth a lot. He just had a 70s gibby deluxe minihum installed in the neck. Keeping it forever now.
  16. If you find one, you could play it thru this (no connection) https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/bogner-ecstasy-3534-50-watt.2686377/
  17. Yes indeed. It's fewer strings but a different mindset.
  18. Yeah, I had a 71 Custom LP in the 90s. Clownburst, Pancake body, Fretless Wonder, all Original Boat Anchor. Painfully heavy and was hard to get a clean tone out of. Sold it to a guy and found it 6 months later at a GC in their Loud Lounge. And then it was gone.
  19. My Nu Blu from 2003. A bit darker blue in person but pops in sunlight.
  20. Coke. Lots of it.
  21. Luv the whole Sabotage Album. This is my fave, at least today.
  22. Agreed, but I'm mostly looking to use it on amps pushed to power tube distortion, esp Trainwreck Express which I built. Which is freaking loud. Can't do that unattenuated anymore. Hearing aids and tinnitus from playing jn bands and shooting guns. Nobody had a clue about hearing protection then.
  23. He did. Another HFcer nabbed it first, who has since sold it. Ended up getting a regular Scepter within a few a months.
  24. It's been 20+ years but that might have been serials. He was selling one and my email got to him 20 mins too late. It had a repaired neck break.
  25. Thanks all for your posts, they have been extremely helpful. It was a difficult decision. I decided to get the Fryette P2A after watching vids and especislly one talking to him about the PS series. I'm a EE and why it has a tube power amp makes so much sense to me. PS100 seemed very cool, but more than I "needed". Unfortunately, I couldn't find any PS2As in stock at my usual haunts. I had just gotten an email from MF with a coupon code. I thought "Surely it wouldn't apply to a Fryette". It did. MF did have 5 PS100s in stock, so one is now inbound for just $60 more than a PS2A. Thanks all!
