The Muse I Adorn

Thursday night, my bass player friend asked his old drummer from Suck Button to come over and jam. We had a real good time. I played my ES-335 through my DST U34-CL. It was the first time I played it, other than at home in the cellar. I had it wound up pretty loud as Tom wanted to use his Acoustic Black Widow into his Acoustic 300/360 Rig with 4 - 15" speakers. Basically, one of John Paul Jones's amps, but in Tom's cellar. Not on a Led Zeppelin stage. My amp performed great. Wish I took some photos. I used my '77 Marshall 4x12 with 30 watt Green Backs.


This is the head.

And, of course... this is the guitar. I'm really loving this guitar. As loud as we were playing, I had the feedback totally in control, and could manipulate it without any real thought. Just play with the volume and tone knobs on the guitar. Both pickups sound great on their own, and blended. Don't know why I didn't get an ES-335 years ago.
