Thansk guys!

Btw, I did get confirmation, the winning bidder on that guitar was my bud, so I'll probably be seeing it sometime next week. Hope she's not a dog!

"Besmirch", that cracks me up! Did you get any cool presents?

Mostly cash. From my parents, inlaws, and gran-in-law. Enough to cover a cheapo P-90 Strat on sleazebay (though they don't know that). I told my gran-in-law (via e-mail) that I would spend what she sent on booze and cheap women. Also, I won a Tube Screamer overdrive pedal on another forum and by coincidence it arrived on my birthday. I A/B'd it with another of my distortion pedals and I'll have to do a lot more playing at volume to see how I like it for sure. The one I A/B'd it against is a cheapo DOD Supra Distortion, and comparatively the TS5 (modded to 808) has a lot lower output, less gain, and less treble. Certainly for my punk rock band (if I ever get it up and running again) I think I'd actually prefer the DOD, which is probably borderline sacrilege. I may try the TS5 with one of my side bands where they don't do as high-energy stuff and see how I like it at full band volume though.

For pics of the pedal and the guitar, go back in this thread to post #17 a couple pages back.

My siblings also bought me a $50 gift card to Carraba's (a chain Italian restaurant, for any non-US people), which we used Sunday for a joint Mother's Day/early birthday dinner.
 
Hey, I like that cheapo strat. I like the blue and the Mother of Toilet Seat PG. :D Nice to receive funds to cover it. Congrats!

I have never heard a P90 strat that I know of. Be sure and post some clips please. :beer:

Would love to but don't have any of the necessary stuff to record to computer.

I know, I'm still in the dark ages.

Sell a guitar and get the necessary stuff. It's not that much and the world wants to hear more of your playing....old man.:D

Haha, while that's a sweet sentiment, anybody can hear my playing on the Crash Pad or Hoyt & the Hotheads myspace pages, which is no doubt plenty. Proabbly more than plenty. ;)

I'm not really a "solo guitar" or "guitar instrumental" kinda guy. I like playing live in a band, and playing original music in a recording setting.

But the usual "here's me playing over a backing track" kinda thing, with no offense to those who enjoy that, is just not of interest to me, and to top it off, I would suck at it. Srsly!

Ok, then. Well, you showed us the red strat last web cast. I guess its the blue P90 strat next time! ;-)

Haha, maybe so! We'll see. At one hundred bucks it's a bit of a gamble. I already had a guy on a punk rock forum tell me that since it was a Bullet Strat the neck would "suck."

:whatever:
 
I'm a little late to the party....but hope you had a great B-day Brian :beer:
