g'day joe , hope u and family doing well, u ever heard about the playstation portable or other words psp? its a greate portable entertainment unite i put all my joe cds on to it and listent to u heap on it my fav album is there love in space, I think it would be cool if u could talk to your people who do your dvds, webcasts etc and pu out some satriani. & G3 UMDs, then we can watch u any where, any time.

Congrats on the guitar player of the month year what ever it was, and cant wait till u do a G3 tour down under,

Joe would win tho hands down...

js1200js1000, I'm assuming they are going in a JS or something like that anyway? Something with a Floyd?!

Well, your question implies that one is F-Spaced and one is not, in which case yes, the F-Spaced pickup is the one that needs to go in the bridge position.

Yankee Katrina came to town

Showing B*sh is phoney

Not a feather in his cap

As he spouts baloney

Desperate people cry for help

No food or water handy

All the troops are in Iraq

Now aint that doodle dandy!

I can't take the credit for this one though.

Hi, I wanna know when is the next visit at Quebec to do some clinic and shows!? Thanks for your answer!

dck - you been mailed

seriously though... it's pretty difficult to argue with yor logic..
I mailed DCK.. and like a a single minded "route 1" thinking plonker I forgot to bung you and Chris in on it as I should have done...

I'd love to pay Bill a visit and talk to him nice....
give him a chance face to face to explain himself...
see if he is what he says he is....
or maybe see if he pulls up in a Jag and shouts out the window "Clarky... your wife is really shit in the sack.."... lmao..

anyways... and more importantly.... my RG7620 is in the custom shop getting a left hand conversion and now I've actually seen the wood that is being used for the quilted top...
pass the kleenex someone please... lmao..

I suspect that you're a bit of a monster player..

at somepoint soon - if you're up for it - fancy scoping them out...
I've like your opinions before things are final...

The Winner Is... Fake Dog Testicle Creator

BOSTON - Gregg Miller mortgaged his home and maxed out his credit cards to mass produce his invention — prosthetic testicles for neutered dogs.

What started 10 years ago with an experiment on an unwitting Rottweiler named Max has turned into a thriving mail-order business. And on Thursday night Miller's efforts earned him a dubious yet strangely coveted honor: the Ig Nobel Prize for medicine.

"Considering my parents thought I was an idiot when I was a kid, this is a great honor," he said. "I wish they were alive to see it."

The Ig Nobels, given at Harvard University by Annals of Improbable Research magazine, celebrate the humorous, creative and odd side of science.

Miller has sold more than 150,000 of his Neuticles, more than doubling his $500,000 investment. The silicone implants come in different sizes, shapes, weights and degrees of firmness.

The product's Web site says Neuticles allow a pet "to retain his natural look" and "self esteem."

Although the Ig Nobels are not exactly prestigious, many recipients are, like Miller, happy to win.

"Most scientists — no matter what they're doing, good or bad — never get any attention at all," said Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research.

Some, like Benjamin Smith of the University of Adelaide in Australia, who won the biology prize, actually nominated their own work. "I've been a fan of the Ig Nobels for a while," he said.

Smith's team studied and catalogued different scents emitted by more than 100 species of frogs under stress. Some smelled like cashews, while others smelled like licorice, mint or rotting fish.

sash_wiener I believe you can run an electric or acoustic through a chorus pedal with the "rate" knob turned up realy fast to get a "vibrato" effect. That is how I would do it.

Cheese101 Yep, except I never said "where" in the Eureka area I live. You were probably the car full of grinning idiots I drove by (just joking). :<)

mikesb I hate thieves like that. I too have had my car/truck broken into a few times over the years. I had an electric guitar, peavy amp, and other stuff taken before (1989?).

I had a brief case in there too, with a Bible in it. I can picture the look on their face after jimmying the lock open to see a "Holy Bible" staring up at them!

Hope you get the stuff back.

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to tell you this hot news related to Joe:

From TotalRock.com

Welcome To 'Gillan's Inn' » 01 Oct 05

Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan is to release a solo album titled 'Gillan's Inn' during January. It celebrated the man's 40th anniversary in the music business. The singer has re-recorded some of the classic songs associated with his distinguished career. A host of guests appear, including current and former members of Deep Purple, plus guitatists Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Janick Gers (Iron Maiden), Joe Satriani and Jeff Healey.

I don't have time right now to read the posts, so I'll reply or post as soon as possible, sorry ;-)

Joe Satriani! JS2 PRM is flawlessly, immaculate...you should be very happy with Hoshino's workmanship...I'm stunned with the fact there's not a single blemish in the aluminum skin...perfection...absolute perfection!!

She's much lighter than the JS10th, and a slightly darker nickel finish to her (as you already know)....sultry indeed.

It may appear that the serial number is 00-01, but I really can't believe that....I'm over joyed with the extreme quality of this piece....wow....thank you for designing, and offering this for us mere mortal's...lol
