ibanez_god:y should have bought the lecky parts got a wiring manual n done it yourself dude

Al--You are a heartbreaker!!!!!!!!!

Al & Maritime-- Here's a great movie for you "The Dreamers" set in 1968 France. The French government was in meltdown and peoples lives were being put on hold! A college student from San Diego, Cali was over there as an exchange student and it was shown from his point of view. He made friends with a French family through the young adult kids--a sister and brother (twins). They persuade the American to move into their parents home with them. Lots of complexity among these 3 youths who are pulled in so many directions because of family needs, unravelling society in the streets and love for each other--especially the American (Matt) who falls in love with Isabelle, Theo's sister! Powerful, with insightful history. Generation gap issues....I highly recommend it.

roo--I haven't forgotten you. Need a bigger window of time!!

I've never seen Joe Satraine so happy and excited in an interview before. I think the guy hits the off button on the mic when he holds it in front of Joe. Ahhh, the things you have to put up with when yer a rock star. lol!

Cube, it doesn't take much to get chadley all excited. LOL!

Cappy, happy sailing!

Castle49, maybe you can get hired with the unemployment agency or social security office :-/ Seems they're prolly the only ones hiring. Best wishes to ya.

Stormy Monday

Gah! The timing gets messed up in the 3 min. mark, but it's a great tune.

ibanez_god:Earth probs are a MAJOR prob for anyone! before i go further, did you relocate anywhere after to find zero probs?Earth issues are 99% of the problem in most housing & studios.If you DONT have that nailed yer in for a nightmare ie the outside tent gigs some play with strats that have single coils are uncontrolable because of bad earthing.....Its probably not the guitar bro,,,its the electricity! & well... single coils although beauty in tone love t fuck with light bulbs arghhhhhhh

If for eg you prefer a single coil pickup tone like me, the question is HOW t keep single coil tone without pissin of the sound engineer or worse getting FIRED from the gig...well.....ITS HERE but more importantly Look Here for the solution

a quickyb4 i log off for a week...short top notch cables between guitar... amp & cab...Mike Frazer knows best! look him up peeps

cya in a week....adios for now

ibanez_god:You should have gutted the guitar n put in its place QUALITY parts...it was after all a bottom of range job! I bet if you gave her a lil TLC n replaced the crap she would have turned out peach.... 93 Jackson wood aint like now!

Igneousiceman Sorry you have not seen Joe…

Goldengirl2, mmmm, have you put collage up as a screensaver? It’s a bit delicious…..

RichHamilton-the best setting for the Satchurator is the settings that Joe uses himself

Gain is at max 5O'clock, tone is a 9 O'clock, and volume is at 1-2 O'clock sounds great!

and yea I have been noticing price changes on Ibanez's cuz the JS1200 is $1600 when I saw it at $1300 in April, and the JS1000 was $1100 now is $1500

if the JS1200 and JS1000 are only $100 apart why not just spend another 100 and get the newer model?

Hello Everybody,

I got today off, but as usual, I was busy. Took down my Christmas tree, went to my hometown Harlan to check on my folks, put gas in the car, etc. Today was important because I scheduled a lunch meeting (at our hotel) with one of the faculty members at IPFW University earlier today. It went really well.

SuperDaveMcCarthy: Walks are excellent. Keep it up. If you are not, don't make me lace up my running shoes and start running over to get you moving. ;-) By the way, how's the family doing and did you manage to find any work (you and your wife)? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you both.

Guitarman77897: Wow, that is a lot of songs. Have you started trying any other Joe songs?

Fatape: Nice to hear from you. My first upcoming race will be February 8th, which is also my Dad's Birthday. It is a 5K Run and I am hoping to be under 19 minutes. I am trying to get under 18 minutes. I'm getting there slowly. I want to try to do a full marathon, if I could. The only factor is work and I am REALLY reliable/flexible for about everyone there.

js1200js1000: My Holidays were the usual: Spending time with my family. I didn't celebrate much nor did I drink on New Year's because I had to be at work early on New Year's Day.

Michelle: I wonder if that ice storm we had came over to you guys. Now we have this Winter Weather Advisory and Winter Storm Warning going on. They said about three to five inches of snow here in Fort Wayne. I drove earlier today and the roads are slick. Advice to you and to everyone, if you drive, give yourself plenty of time and drive safely.

Skippygirl: I try to focus and maintain a positive attitude (when I can) when anything comes up (good or bad). How the hell do I do it? I just do it. I'm young and I'm 23 (right now). I'll be 24 next month on the 24th. How is your guitar playing going? I have my first race coming up on February the 8th (a 5K Run). By the way, I like it when you call me Glitzy. Do you have any more nicknames for me? ;-)

Railton: It has been busy for me. Hell, I am busy every single day. At least I'm staying out of trouble, if you know what I mean. My work and running usually keeps me busy the most. By the way, Happy Belated Birthday. Sorry I did not have the chance to tell you sooner. That is awesome on what you are doing with your guitar and guitar playing, especially playing those Satch songs. It seems that you and Guitarman77897 can play a lot of those songs. Hey, why not, you both should put together a CD together tributing Joe's music. I like to listen to "16 Years" sometime.

Castle49: I am sorry that you are out of a job. I hope you get a job this year. I am glad that you adopted a cat. I am an animal person myself. I would have a pet to live with me in my apartment, but I can't. I am at work almost all the time. I also would have to get pet insurance and I am not going to fork over another couple of hundred bucks for that.

GoldenGirl2: I am glad to hear that you and your husband are doing well. By the way, congrats on the guitar lessons with Ry Kihn. AWESOME!!! I hope it is all well worth it. Let us know how it all went down.

Igneousiceman: How cool that you bike and I run. Exercise is important. From what I am hearing, our country (the good ol' USA), is the fattest country. I am not sure if that is true or not. I run, you bike, does anybody here swim? If so, we then can do a team triathalon (Swim, Bike, Run). I-D One goal for me is to do a full marathon.

Joe Satrini: I am doing well, just busy as usual with a million things. Hey, staying busy will at least keep me out of any trouble, don't you agree? My running races will be starting up soon (in February).

Tikimon: YEAH MAN!!!! THE GATORS BEAT THE SOONERS!!! GO FLORIDA!!! Florida should finish at least in the top two in the final college football standings. The other team I think should be up top with Florida would be Utah.

To Joe and to Everyone: My running races is starting up soon. I have my first race on February 8th. It is actually a 5K prediction run so we have to come up with a time of what we think we are going to run in it. The only factor is we can't wear watches, so we won't know what time we will end up with until we cross the finish line.

This run also helps raise money to start a scholarship fund for a former IPFW runner. He died of melanoma back December 1, 2007. I am still surprised that he has passed. I had the priviledge to know him because I ran against him in high school cross-country and track. I have been donating money to get this scholarship up and running. This is the second year the University is putting this on. I hope there are more people than last year to help out with this event.

My boss and I helped out by giving them an overnight stay and a complimentary breakfast (for two) on us at our brand new Fort Wayne Holiday Inn at IPFW and the Memorial Coliseum. This will be for their silent auction. I hope people bid like crazy on that item. I now I'll be bidding on a few items.

I'll let you all know what other running races I'll be doing as soon as I get the chance. All I know is that I have this run on February the 8th, and my Track Club Banquet on February the 15th. I'll be getting my 1st place Award for my Age Division (for the second time), which means two things: Time to defend my title again and as well as go for a three-peat (in my Age Division).

Talk with you all later. I have work in the morning (serving and working in our hotel bar on the weekend and next week). I am happy that I am starting to learn how to do some bartending.

If anybody has any questions or what to know more info about this run I am doing, check it out at www.fwtc.org ; www.indianarunner.com ; www.3riversrunning.com

Check out the hotel that I am working at ichotelsgroup.com. Just type in Fort Wayne, Indiana and we are the first one on the list (with our brand new "H" logo). Just spreading the word out to all of you. We are the first full-service hotel here in Indiana in 20 years, as well as the first to have the brand new "H" logo. We have two wonderful family suites, two excellent Executive/Chancellor Suites, an excellent restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner called the Mastodon Grill, and a great bar called the Faculty Lounge. Come check us out. Just refer by me, Glitz Man, I mean Grant.

guitarman...he sets his volume at 1 or 2 O'clock? I thought he set that at 5 also. If I were to set mine at 1 or 2 it would be useless.
