  1. I'm on the Pulse right now and think it outpaces the originial two post Waters era Floyd albums. Of which both are nice too, but very different.
  2. I had thougt it's just the other way round. Clean sounds perfect through tubes and distortion totally is a solid state thingy. Or please explain how it comes that almost all distortion pedals fuel transistors rather than tubes, starting from the very first trebble boosters.
  3. Whether or not. I pulled out the Newport again in a long time. And it proofed being the right owned stuff. The sound is just f. gorgeous and playability stands next to it. A perfect make of 6 string joy. That's what I say.
  4. Bob Geldof - The Happy Club.
  5. Blues Karloff - Ready For Judgement Day. Classic blues rock stuff.
  6. JohnnyB, I like how you spread your legs from Cheap Trick to Paul Simon and into further categories.
  7. The little son had the annual public drum play at the regional music school last Monday. While having him prepared for the play, he made a secret of what he's going to perform. To our surprise, he played a nice duo with his teacher. Both were nicely in sync. At the end of the audition they had the last year state and country award winning drummer playing with his three piece jazz band. They had won the country award for this year and are going to play the state contest in a few months. Those young boys are freaking fantastic! Played their own compositions. Lots of great music in between from other students. Our little boy is in good hands though.
  8. Boston's Walk on is a favorite in the car right now. Simple Minds' Black & White and Queen's Jazz were long players the other day. Flying Colors' Second Nature and Blackberry Smoke were on too. ETA: forgot about Vandenplas' Immortal blabla Netherworld. Great to drive aggressivley on the motorway.
  9. I wonder if Rick still has that guitar and all the replaceable "faces"? Thanks Brian I wonder he's going to find them in his storage bunker.
  10. German flag not allowed to watch in Gemany.
  11. Just had some morning fiddling with the all alder MIK Standard having single coils in it. Played into the VAC 25. Classy! Alder and single coils are a great duo.
  12. Very impressive tour. Just sayin'.
  13. Well....I was going to specify emerald green. Perhaps a dip in the ocean might be in order.That guitar is stunning. I'm blue-green with envy. Well, there could have been some yellow in the game to mix up with the blue. In that case, it would be a blue sunburst kind of thing. Call it blue sunglasses sunburst.
  14. Man, that's a freakin' like collector. I want to see more of them.
  15. Lock the boobies, booties, and legs threads. Porn is over here!
  16. The Charlie Christian Bo Diddley guitar joined me on travel. I can't say how great it is to be able to practice on the road.
  17. But much, much cheaper. No shipping time involved, either. In case a download is more fun than waiting for the brown car.
  18. The Kemper is like a computer. Actually, it is a computer. By programming, it allows to serve nearly any goal soundwise. The question is: What is YOUR goal? To find that out and implement it takes as much time it takes to swap gear the old fashioned way.
  19. Great score!
  20. In concert Brian May popped up playing a Duotone equivalent Red Special shaped guitar for Crazy Little Thing. It's a very nice sounding guitar, especially made for him. Doesn't have a trem though.
  21. I know how to feed you. ETA: the Galileo is comparable to the MAXX FX in the way that it out of the box delivers one particular Queen sound, but far more stable. In comparison, the MAXX FX in itself is a very sensible unit and could never compete with the Galileo. The Deacy amp never has been a Vox and never will. Here is some literature for you, I stumbled upon the other day. https://fryerguitars.wordpress.com/deacy-amp/
  22. Found this while conquering the Catalinbread Galileo today. Seems to be a very nice pedal though.
  23. Very nice design. I had checked a couple of vids and think this one is quite objective. The pickups seem to deliver a wide frequency range. That's different to the usual pickup design. Therefore, the pickups require a different handling and many pedals seem not to work with them since made and trickled for usual pickup frequency ranges. I think they are very interesting. As always, put in the right and matching setup they would sure satisfy and make a guitarist happy. Woodwise, I would think they would shine in alder based guitars, taking off a bit of crispiness if you like. The Newport could be a great candidate too. ETA: I would not setup the guitar with plain steel strings. ETA: Another video ETA: The principle.
