When out at camp (remote) I actually went through the toil of hauling my own coffee out there. Every run I would bring about 2 lbs of coffee to site, to grind and press, opposed to drinking the foul drip machine swill grade coffee that was camp coffee. Life is just too short to drink bad coffee. That cup was a joke, my wife bought it for me as one anyway. The joke is on her as I am using it today anyway. Hold about 1L of coffee.
I forgot to give you folks something to chew on yesterday, I'll make up for that.
That is a JPX-7 from EBMM, a very slick guitar, with a very nice non-locking tremolo. And manly manly purple, can't forget that. Hope that makes up for my, lack of digression. And to show just how huge the bongo is
We'll attempt to keep any jokes about my 'balls' to a minimum, despite how fun and youthful they may be
.G&L, I find to be slightly interesting as they managed to break into the industry with a quality instrument, at a price point not commonly contested. If we look at the industry as a whole, most of the more recent break ins (Suhr and Anderson, for example) are at the upper echelon of pricing. But G&L, offers a quality instrument, without a super premium price. A price I would consider quite reasonable in fact. It speaks a bit about the quality of the instrument presented, that a super premium price was not required to make people take it seriously. The only people who have ever not taken a G&L seriously have been salesmen trying to sell me a 'real fender', and even then not many try that card. Overall, among musicians these instruments are well recieved, and that is the most important aspect. Coming around in the same time PRS was coming up (or near enough), they managed to slide more into the good 'working man' level music instruments, opposed to the super boutique. Something we don't see all that often in an industry still worshiping 2 outmoded giants.
What do you think of that overall?
Pedals are often a fun toy, but for a guy like me they can be a bit more. I don't seek a tone, I seek tones to fit the mood and needs of the composition at hand. So I never stay long, but desire a veritable arsenal of effects I can toss on to the guitar itself. Hardly a purist approach, but I am all about the means to then end. So when I plug something into my Boogie Mark V (which is versatile as all hell) and throw my pedal board(s) in front of it, we can get going some interesting places. Sometimes the sound is the catalyst too, so I occasionally just sit down and play with them. You never know what is going to inspire you, but something has to keep us moving. Pair that with things like an Ebow and we are getting out of a lot of the limitations of guitar, those boards aren't done yet, but soon enough. I am in a bit of a self imposed acquisition lull at the moment. Let's see your boards, and you opinions on the matter.
