meandmrvai - Yeah, man Wes rocks (or rather, he jazzes... lol). I think jazz sounds awesome on the guitar, personally; what makes you think it's not a jazzy instrument?

Clarky...I kinda guessed it would be more....judging by the price difference....

Rob310...some many guitars....sooo little money...lol

death cube k....I thought there was a correlation...just hadn't done the homework yet to check the differences...I like the idea of the floor model...but with more routing option...looks like a combo of both would work nicely....just need $$$ The TC Electronics floor/rack unit looks real nice + expensive too!......thanks for the clarification!

I like this part of Indiana (NW Ind). Close to chicago, we have the lake, the beaches, the casinos, the steel mills, the poluted air, poluted water, the heavy traffic, trains, trains, trains, the strip joints, weather (hot in summer, can be cold with lake effect snow in the winter) lots of good concerts to go to.

Hum - some good and some bad.

Overall, I like the area too.

Ovation1 .......Cheers dude.

Phrydom ........Congrats on the promotion man.

bahduh - Yeah, I agree. It seems many celebrities care so much about publicity...I think it's ridiculous. At the same time though, it's the fault of everyone who buys into all of that crap and is just consumed by it. ::sigh::

Badmamajama- Great music as always :)

Mari- Jonathan Ross is a really irritating presenter on UK tv, he does "Film 2006" or whatever it's called- the good thing is that if he says the film is crap, you can guarantee it's not, and vice versa... He is a prize BERK lol! Hope you are well Mari by the way! Missed you in the chat the other day I think :)

CLARKY- lol, ok- JR is a real turnip of a person (not man then LOL!)

Bahduh - hi! Hope all is ok with you!

Do The Stu- are you right at the front in the LISF dvd? What colout t-shirt / hair etc so I can pick you out on there! Lucky you being up close at the front like that.

962- Sorry to hear you are feeling snappy!

I have neither heard of or been to either one of those locations - seem pretty neat though.

Maybe in all of my free time (time when I am not searching for things to post here)

Now I lay me down to sleep.

get to http://www.studentmusicawards.com/ and see my new video. go to short list and click on the haze(its down the bottom) your vote could get my band recording in abbey road and a sat morning slot on tv your vote means loads to me

akorn, i totally agree, but it all comes down to profile, as in from 18 years old, vai's been on the scene, frank zappa, alcatrazz, crossroads (the film), whitesnake..... blah blah

But joe is more melodic, more fluent, and has more feel... and doesnt try and squeeze as many notes into a second as is humanly possible... although he is obviosly more than capable, its feel, its passion, and more than a hobbie and instrument to him, its a kinda love.. and its his job, lucky guy....

seen him june 97 and birmingham nec, and june 2004 and birmingham nia.. cant wait for his next uk visit.... just purchased a js1000, most playable, versatile and beutiful instrumant ive ever played.....

everyone, take it easy..... and if you play, play till your fingers bleed..............gotta go!!

Clarky, "ha... I'm not slamming you... jeez.. lol... you should know me better than that... lol".....No I know you weren't! hehe, that wasn't what I meant. I've got a whole load of sh*t goin on in my 'real' life right now so it just means I wind up getting easily confused about everything...I dunno.

Anyway, wassat about a Poole gig? You got a gig in Poole? When and where?

Thanks for your help, it'd be really nice to use the Red Box's Cabinetulator for recording with. I tried the same thing you did, with using the Hotplate's Line Out into the Red Box Pro and the recorded result was really bad!
