    By the way, it's 2:15am so god knows why I'm still awake but hey ho, I feel like staying on the PC! Yeah, the guitar's going ok, I'm meaning to do a couple of covers soon enough (perhaps re-runs of UTEOTW, The Fly and maybe WGRYWH? But the problem is I need to edit a backing track so as to try and slip enough space for a solo ). No new gear I'm afraid, and that's very unlikely until I get some money saved lol, but as we stand at the moment, money goes as quickly as I make it so it's a bit desperate at the moment. I have plenty of dreams though lol! A Boss GT-6 would suit me down to the ground, as would an Explorer although, as we've discussed previously, I'll need to get hold of a generous ladyfriend for that

    Which reminds me, before I go any further, have you got a version of the Fly backing track but á la Elevation era? i.e. in Ab rather than Eb?

    How's your guitar playing going?

    EDIT - I'm not gonna even bother responding to the 2nd post above this lol

    EDIT (2) - I'm off, I'm knackered lol. Speak to you guys later


    Avoiding the ACHTUNG ADAM picture bit, eh?

  2. I just ordered my 70's strat reissue today!!! Man am I excited. Probably shortly after I get it i'll swap out the white pickguard and pickup covers and knobs and pickups switcher (should have used commas there) for black ones, so I can have a replica of Edge's blackie. I'm excited!

    Cool! Of course this being the internet and all it doesn't really exist unless there's a picture of it so be sure to post when you get it.

    Sounds great! Congrats. How much, if you don't mind, did the reissue cost? I know a girl on U2 Rec that did the same thing... black and white reissue and swapped it to all black. Looks Edge approved and sharp as can be.

    Congrats again! Always great to hear that someone got new gear. More so when it's ME that gets new gear! But I can be happy for my fellow musicians too. I'm good like that.

    ...and YES... please post a piccy of the new guitar when it arrives.

    That's right, this could be you...





  6. Haha. Love that picture. But yea, it cost around 800& (CAN $) after tax. I ordered it through one of the local music stores here. I can't wait for it!

    NO worries Harry.

    IN U2 guitar related news... other than the auctioned blue LP Standard and the new (new to Edge but probably vintage) Gretsch White Falcon (seen in the U2.com footage), I wonder what other guitars that The Edge got for the album

    Why would they be mad if you said on the site how the things are used? You can have every single pedal and guitar Edge has, you can even play on his rig, and you won't sound like him. Every musician has a musical personality, impossible to copy. I can't understand why some people keep secret about their rigs, like that Audioslave guy. I think it is quite silly.


    Some guitarist are "wired". If you take Mark Knopfler, or Carlos Santana, they can make any guitar sound like them. Also, dumb quewstion for Jeff. Are you and Dalas on a first name basis, or is it Mr. Schoo?
