    lol, I was waiting for someone to ask about that. At the moment I'm still Explorer-less because they're currently out of stock around the UK, and the people I ordered from are currently waiting for a new shipment, predicted to arrive on the 22nd, so only a couple of weeks with any luck.




    Nice. You'll be happy once you get it man. Explorers are SICK. it's always fun to hear about another guitar player getting a new guitar. I get almost as excited as they do haha. I don't know why, but yea, its exciting.

    I know what you mean all too well lol, I was buzzing when my mate from Uni. told me he'd had his Mustang delivered, it's a weird thing but it's just mutual guitar nutjobs rejoicing in the beauty of guitarness
  3. Hey guys. Just to get you a little more hyped up for your explorer Harry, as well as a demo for the Vox Tonelab LE's effects, check these 2 new videos out:

    The Fly:


    In God's Country:

  4. Nice stuff mate, although YOU ARE A SOD! lol. 'Tis the one thing I can't wait to do when the Explorer arrives, i.e. use it to play the Fly (although I really wanna find that version of the BT where someone put together a version in Ab á la Elevation, would rock my socks if it came up again lol.
  5. QUESTION: What do Bono, The Edge and I have in common?
    ANSWER: Each of us have played "One" on a Gretsch Country Club.

    I had an opportunity to play "One" with The Joshua Tree, last weekend. Great fun & quite the honor to be asked to play a song with such a great band! And I got to play a fantastic Gretsch Country Club.

    Here's a pic:


    JT put on a great show. They are super nice folks. Always a joy to see them play. If you ever have the chance to see them - GO! You will not be disappointed. They do play lots of tunes that U2 no longer play (or have not played live) - like The Unforgettable Fire, Hallelujah Here She Comes, All Along The Watchtower, Sweetest Thing, Helter Skelter, UltraViolet... plus tons of other great songs.

    Bono with his Gretsch Country Club?:


    Edge playing "One" on Bono's Country Club?:

    By the way, did you really attend and played in a U2-tribute concert with a The Police t-shirt? Hhahahahahahaahahhahaahhaa XDDDD
  8. Strat rocks!

  9. Nice. Always though the Country Club was one of the best-looking guitars out there. So it played well? What'd you think of the sound? You used an AC30 for amplification I take it...?

    Indeed I did. Nothing wrong with that. Plus, Andy Summers of The Police is a great guitarist!

    I was playing through a Valvetronix. It sounded pretty great. I liked it alot. If I had the spare change I'd have a Cadillac Green Country Club, like that one, in a New York second.

    Not that a Country Gentleman wouldn't be bad either... or a White Falcon...

    Yes... I know... I'm a guitar whore.

    Hahaha aren't we all...yeah if I was gonna drop some serious coin on a guitar I'd go for a Gretsch. And what can I say about that Cadillac Green finish?



    Delicious.

    Those pickups look similar to the ones on my Rickenbacker--seeing as they are both hollowbody guitars, wouldn't the sound be kinda/pretty similar?
