EBMM Axis for neck shape Ibanez JS-1000 WH for ease of effortless fretting of notes Easiest acoustic to play is a Takamine EAN40C my buddy has. Favorite tonally is my 2002 LP standard.

That Fortin sounds epic!

Got to see him several times with Vai, on the B3 tour in Buffalo and Mr. Big a couple times including their last show in the US in Buffalo! His Talas and DLR stuff is great too! Always comes across as a humble guy and down to earth.

I wrote a message in the HNY thread but long story short we were supposed to play a swanky private resort (great $$$) but got into an accident on the way there and were unable to play. All ok except for a couple minor injuries and whiplash. Truck will likely be totaled.

Was on my way to play a gig and we got rear ended. I normally drive the band truck and everything fits under the cap/bed of the truck. Bassist had a cut on his forehead and we were all shaken up quite a bit with a couple minor head injuries and had to cancel the gig (great $$$). Truck will...

I thought he decided to do the IICP module because he was aware of the circuit and made amps around that time, not that he had any direct involvement with Randall and the rest of Mesa. Didn’t Dteve get the idea of graphic EQ from Mesa?

A buddy of mine played in a band that had a #1 song on the Billboard Rock Charts. They subsequently started a new band and had to pay to play it on Octane. At least $10K. It was part of their marketing budget.

Saw them on the 2nd stage at Gigantour. Had no idea who they were and they kicked major ass. Would see them again.

Kicks way more ass live!

The LP standards from 2002 are excellent. It’s my #1! GLWS

Bump for a rare piece that sounds great. I’ve done bass through mine and can confirm it’s great for that too.
