San Dimas Charvel and vintage Orange cabs at the Troubador in Hollywood. Still have the guitar and the cabs.

Notice the amp cover over my rack hiding the Furman PQ-3 and Lexicon PCM-41 and....... a mic on each cabinet! BAck in those days sound guys were so jaded and would not mic both cabs if you were "just" trying to get a stereo effect. I figured out if I lied to them and said one cab is for cleans one is for dirty I would get two mics, 2 channels and some Lexicon chorus hugeness through the house PA!

Me too. Wicked Ex took about everything I had years ago. I couldn't stand her for a second, so never asked for anything back.
 
Awesome pics :lol: :LOL:

I wish I still had my police station mug shots from '88 when I had a real long bleached mullet, priceless :doh:

Sup Bro!!

Yes. That was my band in the 80's. I posted the clips of the band on here a while back. That said I think that photo was taken in 1989. It was definitely towards the demise of the band lol. I quit in 1991. Just enough time to bow out before grunge slammed us into the dirt lol :D
 
Holy nut huggers Batman :D Those are some tight pants man. Ouch.

Here are some live shots of me from the 80s that I scanned to show some Charvel freaks my old '85 Jack Daniels Graphic San Dimas. This was my main stage guitar in the '80s. I had already changed the pickup and put a Floyd in place of the Kahler, but you can see I kept the Kahler nut. These pictures are from different shows and I believe are the Roxy in LA, but they could be the Water club as well... You can also see how my rig changed when we got sponsored by Duncan, but my main head was still a Jose Arredondo modded JCM 800... Anyway, have a laugh at the outfit (Just try to tell me you didn't wear worse!!!), but enjoy the guitar! I included the last pic, just 'cause I dig the shot. Boy was it loud at that point...

Looks great everyone!!!

As much as I love the '80's, I was only 13 on Dec 31, 1989 sooooooooooo I guess I'm technically a product of the '90's :confused:

:thumbsdown:
