IIRC, the explanation was that it would require too much of an effort to recreate the pickups, and also that G&L wasn't interested in building any single-pickup guitars other than the Rampage.

I had never even heard of them, and wanted to be riding roller coasters, but my Mother dragged me to their show instead. Just as the second set began and thunderstorm rolled in. They walked off the stage, but maybe 100 of the audience (maximum) stayed in their seats in the rain. A minute later one of the band came out and said that if they had fans willing to wait in the rain, they would play in the rain. A couple of minutes later, after the road crew dragged their gear under cover, they came back out and played the rest of the show. It was quite an experience for my first real concert. I ended up for most of that set about ten feet from the band.

Growing up on the South Carolina coast my favorite was boat camping, which could either be anchoring and sleeping on the boat or beaching in an undeveloped area and pitching tents behind the sand dunes. I guess I could probably count my Navy time as a six-year boat camping trip too...

sam wrote:Close to your next topic, camping, was going to the Delta Blues festival in Greenville MS in, was the "hazily" one. Don't recall who all played, but this show left a lasting impression on me for blues, outdoor festivals, the kindness of music fans, and oh yeah, moonshine. Guess that's what made that one hazy.
