Re: For those who had a recent birthday

I've got my 70th birthday coming July 12th and I'd say that just about sums it up.

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?

I did change 3 or 4 sets of strings last week. Does that count? I think I bought a cheap new pedal last month. I know I sold about ten.....so maybe. :?:

You may want to try out the Epi 339 with P'90's. Mine is definitely a keeper after I put my touches to it.

One thing I think I did forget, and I don't feel like looking to see. Some of the pots and caps values changed which can, as you know, change the tone quite a bit.

My Strat has the Gilmore mod, and I didn't even know it was the Gilmore mod. :) I didn't find it quite as useful as I imagined, either...

I know a little bit about EJ Wiring because @andrewsrea likes it. But, I don't actually know what the turbo wiring is. The regular is just a regular ol' EJ harness. The Turbo has the solderless switch, vintage wiring, and a vintage p-I-o Cap. Basically cost twice as much, but sounds exactly the sam...

Re: Sometimes I worry about this place

No big deal here, but after being a regular here for 10 or 12 years.....I just got tired of being laughed at and mocked. (You know who you are)
That doesn't mean I'm going out in a "blaze of glory" like the pezident describes.....I just don't feel like contributing as much as I used to.

I learned how to use vibrato correctly, also how to get the tone out of the gear I've had for a good while.
