Re: Sweet Custom Shop Agile AD at GC!

Right next to it is a real old skool AL - old headstock AND old pointy horn. Looks like the pickups may have been swapped and it has one of those funky TP-6 tailpieces. At $349 that is tempting just for nostalgia's sake. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Agile/Used-Agile-Single-Cut-cherry-sunburst-S...

Congrats and welcome! That's one SX model I wish I would have grabbed back in the day. I like the yellow, also remember a cool Pelham Blue of the same model. And yes, they had a few different variations over the years, i agree that the pointy horn was older.

Re: Ashdown Amps ?

I used to ponder Ashdown amps back in the day. I think their bass amps were popular IIRC. My instincts always go to a USA made Peavey Classic 30 or Delta Blues for the best bang for the buck. They are getting harder to find. I sold my DB and kept my C30 just because of size/weight. I got my C30 fro...

Gristle tone man! I have enjoyed his reviews for Wildwood for many years, and he's from Milwaukee which is just a few hours from where I live. He plays a lot of small venues around the city, another show I need to see some day. He's a heck of a player and very entertaining overall.

I am pretty sure it was Joe Faraldi. He was ( is ) a super nice guy, and I believe the guitar I sold him was for his son.
