The Shark

I checked "no" for the poll. I've been playing the same stuff for the past 30 years. I guess I've improved along the way, but only in the execution of the same stuff I've been playing for 30 years, if that makes sense. No new scales. No new thinking about what to play. Me and the guys are learning new stuff, but it's not any more challenging. The list grows, but I don't really think I've made strides in technique or creativity. I'm not sure it bothers me. I can still turn heads in the local music store noodling around. But it's because they haven't heard me play the same shit I always play. Good poll question.

New board! Everything I need including the amplifier on the board......

Guitar is now sold. Thanks.

Here's a pic of the back for pasqual12.....

E-mail sent!

My buddy Jimmy used to have a shop close to my house. He used to go down to Dean in Tampa and Elliot would let him cherry pick from the Czech models. I had a couple of EVO Les Paul-style bursts that were simply the best value for the best guitar I can remember. I think they were about $900 new. The bodies were one piece thicker than a Paul mahogany with incredibly thick carved maple tops. I think the necks were one piece too. Jumbo frets and set up really well from the Czech factory. I seem to remember Ben Chafin saying that they (Dean) should have been selling them for much more. They were so cheap, people stayed away. Sold one back to Jim and the other one is in the clutches of my cousin. I'm on the hunt for one, but it's been a long time since I've seen a really good unmolsted one. The Vees were killer too.

She Knows the Devil by Toto.......

Monthly bump to the top..........still for sale.

I'll just go with Aqualung. Fantastic.

And it resides happily here in Florida! Thanks, Bubs.

You mean like this... http://s120.photobucket.com/user/rauschenberger21/media/CHANDLERFRONTBODY.jpg.html'> http://s120.photobucket.com/user/rauschenberger21/media/CHANDLERFULLFRONT.jpg.html'> http://s120.photobucket.com/user/rauschenberger21/media/CHANDLERKORINABODY.jpg.html'> http://s120.photobucket.com/user/rauschenberger21/media/CHANDLERMAGAZINEBODY.jpg.html'> http://s120.photobucket.com/user/rauschenberger21/media/CHANDLERMAGAZINECOVER.jpg.html'> One of three reviewed in Guitar Player. It popped up on eBay. Korina body with little candy red sparkles in the back. Seymour wound the pickups on a manual winder. It's the only one.

Just jammin' with it lately. Thinking about chrome parts....

Which makes me want it even MORE! The Chandler and cash for the Robin........... If you're talking about the Kizanski Signature Series Robin Avalon Custom, it would have to be A LOT of cash! ...and before you even shoot me a number (I know you got it like that), don't tempt me. The guitar must stay with me. You know where to find me, my friend! I am a bit "tapped" after snagging Kashola's Vee, but I do have that coffee can in the side yard......

Sorry, it's no longer for sale.

Hunting and Fishing too..........a renaissance man.

That's fantastic. Just wow.

Here's my latest board. Signal through the wireless, the tuner, the volume pedal, the wah, the two overdrives into the boost on to the Dumble clone amps. The loop is through the T.C. Corona into the El Cap and through the Wet reverb. It sounds great. Built by some guy named David Friedman.... http://s120.photobucket.com/user/rauschenberger21/media/NewPedalboard1.jpg.html'>

April 15th was the 103rd day straight I'd worked. Been off since Monday. Feelin' fine.

Ratt, Poison, Warrant, Winger, Maiden, Saxon, and too many others I read or was told were fantastic that I hated. I blew too much money on albums that blew. They're all in storage. Maybe someday my revenge will be someone buying them from me for a premium. Nah......

Fuchs, BrownNote, Two-Rock, Bludo, Kane, and even Ceriatone make great Dumble inspired amps. They've so finely disected them over at AmpGarage, the mystique is kind of washed away. They aren't for everyone, but I really have found them to be great for what I do.

Think about the last time you saw a "Chevette" on the road. The fact that it had "vette" in the name always made me smile.

You could probably find one on craigslist for $20 or free.... am totally serious You're making my point.

I use mine to warm up food, pop popcorn and heat my orthopedic neck ring. I cook hot dogs in water/beer.

Happy Birthday, Greg!
