Hell thats 35lbs of lumber right there ----need to add another cinder block under the trailer on that side now.......geesh!

That cracked me up!!!
Coffee all over my screen and keys.
Must find a way of working it into one of MY stories some time.

 

[eSGEe]

Can't see it, doesn't get me hot at all ;-)

Mayer, for whom I'm not mad, did his best work with Dead&co, imo.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Sounds good.

How about guitars that stayed in tune and never broke strings on stage plug and play

Looks like a tone machine of a Strat, bro plexi. Sweet ol gal. How long have you had it?

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Ya look at those nice rounded edges on that Strat,Thats a beaut.

It is very soft looking and looks like an old sweater of Strats

And it's taken on that slightly yellowed look of the members' room of an old English gentleman's club in Pall Mall, London. You can feel the old colonel sitting in his favourite leather arm chair reading the Times, as he has done for fifty years.

I have owned the 7/1961 Strat for 33 years now Fender made this guitar 100% correct. The funny part is I now have every guitar and amp I ever dreamed of and I'm switching
back to drums now.

I posted these elsewhere but if you were to buy some like it, you would love em. Circa 1964 including original Avedis Zildjian cymbals.

I have played Drum workshop collectors since 2000. I just ordered a Ludwig maple set it's on the way

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

HAHA Steve, I was figuring you for a DW man.

Thought about suggesting some 1960's Luds too.
If that picture is the finish of your kit you ordered, I realllllly like it bro.

To follow suit in this thread, I can honestly say David Gilmour's Strat playing highly influenced my life music wise.
This clip really accentuates his tone as well as that of Roger Water's bass playing. Try listening to it thru headphones.

To quote one listener,

"It's like listening to Pink Floyd for the first time all over again."

They speak of Meddle. One of my favorite albums, ever.

 

[Tony M.]

One of these days.....

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

One of these days.....

I used to play Meddle on a cassette on my walkman to try and fall asleep. I loved how One of these Days winds you up, then the rest of the album floats your mind into a peaceful place. Then Echoes starts the same way but winds up with the ascending into controlled bombast and then comes the end to let you fall asleep if you want. Richard Wright's keys are incredibly subtle and yet powerful in Echoes too. And Oh heck yeah Water's hypnotic pulsating thump on bass as David wails on his Black Strat.

And who can argue with the masterpiece otherwise known as Pigs. Just listen to that beautiful P bass and Fender Strat work their magic.
