You should hear it when this guy cranks up the Dumble....

If anyone else, makes fun of my road worn Fenders, I'll cry.

I don't like them... I didn't make them road-worn from years of gigging in my basement therefore they're for poseurs.

I know you joke.
I take very good care of them to not allow anymore dents or wear. Fender did a perfect job aging the guitars with old looking marks, but any more marks would be 'new' marks and they would not be authentic and would hurt the resale value and my cherished love for them.

I actually think reliced guitars look great. God knows I'll never relic them since I'm a basement-dwelling hack... LOL!

I think it's quite comical when someone sells a reliced guitar and says it is mint. I mean, how are you supposed to know?

"It's mint except for that one chip right there" (circles small chip on an otherwise beaten up guitar)

Have you counted the grapes on the counter yet?
You know Miss Lucy is prone to sneaking a few when old Oliver isnt watching.

Mmmmm yes... yes I did good fellow. She has been behaving as of late.

Excellent Good fellow.....if she behaves....maybe you can offer her a grape on Christmas day.
You can never be too kind to the help.
I am sure Oliver will approve as well.

Brilliant! Where did you find my old finishing school picture!?

From an old School Chum. We still laugh about the old days of horse whipping and what nots......
Laying around the fire....Oliver listening to Bach....what splendid times they were.

Well, if you look at my sig, you will notice that my gear is plain jane stuff. I don't really care what others think about the logos on my gear. What I can tell you is that I have never playing a gig that someone didn't come up to me afterward and tell me that they loved my tone. In fact, I was once told be a well known Houstonian- in a well known band- that he thought I had the best hard rock tone in Houston. I was extremely flattered. So I take all the gear ribbing in stride.

Is Houston east or west of the Rio Grande?

 

[shreder75]

I bet your gear can't make the Kessel run in less than three parsecs though

 

[shreder75]

 

[Vrad]

Well... I never!

 

[Vrad]

Best tone east, west and south of the pecos!

behold...the mustard nazi!
No mustard for you! ONE YEAR!

No mustard for you! ONE YEAR!

So you think Paul Gilbert would pwn everyone with a rippin' Digiridooo solo?

doug roccaforte had a great signature for a while about cork sniffy articulating about subtle lingerings and a smokey finish...classic! but he was pointing out the nerds who pull out their 40k dumble, sit by the fire in their smoking jacket with a snifter of brandy, and pluck one note, nodding wistfully at the sound. then turn off the amp to relish another day, feather dust their investment in case they have to flip it, and type all night on a forum about their "experience".

Frankly, I don't see why this is any less valid than any other hobbyist's method of enjoying their amp. Who cares? It doesn't effect me (or you) in the least, so why look down on it? I've never really gotten that...

many guys would rather join a particular amp owner's club so they can discuss it rather than enjoy the amp and do the amp/maker justice by playing it well.

If that's how someone gets off, more power to 'em! Life is stressful enough that if a person can blow off a bit of steam chatting about their amp with others, regardless of whether I think they can play or not, I'm all for it... Better than kicking the dog...

i look at it this way--liking what i have is exclusively my trip.

i video demo what i have instead of verbally demo/explain because i don't want to get into an argument about what something sounds like when i can demonstrate audibly what it sounds like and show you how i approach it.. and even then people complain they can't hear the amp i'm playing..too much effects...or they bought the amp but can't get the sound i'm getting. and many people would rather type about their pile of amps then let you hear them play because.....well....they can't play. but they can sure buy the heck out of those 2-5k amps skillfully, those wallet monsters.
