Slanshroom; Edinburgh shop, I've yet to see it in the flesh, but pretty sold on it for the last couple of months, just made the decisions to make a move on it today . . . stoked and can't wait!

Sorry js1200js100, got a bit frustrated, Ha!

Do the Stu, . . . as above and apologies! If there is anyone out there with the bdg, can't wait to hear what they make of it fist hand.

Current Satch favourites are Time and Secret Prayer, I've been a follower of Joe's music since Surfin and as time has rolled on have missed a couple of years of his music, but firmly back and catching up! Couple of other favourites off the dvd, being One Robot's Dream and Ten Words for contrasting reasons.

Been to see Joe 3 times, here in Scotland and I visited your 'neck of the woods' on the West Coast last year for a fantastic holiday, can't wait to do it again.

Ross Halfin has posted some of his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame photos.

What cities did you visit when you were out this way last year?

Pip Satrini:-Finally,someone noticed the BC Rich! As for the model,well....it started life as a stock standard Platinum series from the early mid '90's(strat type body,humbucker with coil tap and two singlecoils in middle and neck,locking nut but strangely,non locking Floyd type trem with fine tuners). I saw it in a pawnbrokers and as soon as i felt the neck i was smitten. I paid $100 Aussie for it.

After a couple of years of thrashing it I felt it needed a couple of MINOR adjustments(yeah,right). Because I have rather wide hands reaching the upper frets was always hard coz of the lower cutaway not being deep enough.Solution=JIGSAW!!! B-e-a-utiful!!! Fret access was now easy...but now the upper bout looked odd.Solution=JIGSAW!!! Cut the useless thing right off!!! NOW we're getting somewhere! DAMN!!! Now the jack end of the body looks too round for the neck end.Solution=JI.....you know the story by now!!!AWESOME!!!! Now I had what I was after. Next,rip out ALL wiring,pickups,knobs and switches.Done. Install Dimarzio "FRED"(what else!!!) into bridge position a "brand unknown' single coil(supplied by my best bud Ozzy_Fudd) into the neck with one volume and a 3way toggle selector.Coat it with black,design and make my own scartchplate(cut out with my FAVOURITE weapon of chioce!) and...Voila!!! Eddie Van Halen has his "FRANKENSTIEN", I have my "MISTRESS" So there you have it.My obssession in a nutshell.

(If anyone from BC RIch is reading this and is willing to offer me a large sum of money and/or royalties for the design and name...... you know what to do!!!)LOL.

Al- Support Arkansas rice farmers...Drink Budweiser or Bud Light. The vast majority of my rice crop usually ends up going into making Bud and Bud light.

Just watching VH1 Heavy (the story of metal) Rob Trujillo talking about he and his friends as young boys turning out the lights, lighting candles and listening to Zeppelins scary sounding songs to frighten themselves. I can remember being a small child and being scared of Robert Plant's vocal chant on "Immigrant Song". but grew up and liked it..

Blue Moon - true love you say? I think after one of your mega drinking sessions I could see you singing this to Cube..... Endless Lurve

.... and I reckon this could be from your home video collection. As it's a BH weekend, might we see a vid with the new guitar?

Cube - like Stockholm syndrome then, as you said

Scuba - maybe you just thought I was cheap LOL. That particular day I was testing a Zetec FF, privateer outfit. Damn fibre stuff is so fine, I guess it literally gets under your skin

Guitarvibes - Cool edit pro looks good. So did you stream the tracks through Cool edit in order to "grab" them?

Igneous - I was hoping to get out but the weather turned, so back to Lance's training ideas. I see he had a bizarre episode with drug testing recently. I'd have reacted the same if some random stranger came and asked for samples...

jdublu - I can recall one owner on here and he loves hids BDG. I was thinking about it, but will replicate with a BP instead. I've been told by an Ibanez dealer that both the BDG and JS20th "have more factory issues than anything normal production should have".... so before you buy give it a really good check over in good light before you shell out that kind of money

Fatape - LMFAO... go jigsaw! I dare you to use one on a JS series.... it sounded really good, which I'm putting down to your technique and the Fred/mods, because previous BC guitars I've heard weren't very nice to listen to. So I guess you give the Mistress a regular thrashing.... don't we all. But how does the missus feel about that ; b

JS1200JS1000 - that guy's crazy.... but good! Thanks for the sub & comment on YT. Just one JS at present, but I want more, they're so great to play. Take it you have a 1200CA and a 1000BP?

.... and there goes 3.30am. Night all

.... sigh.... still awake

Ozzy Fudd - oh whoops, sorry man! What JS('s) have you got?

Do The Stu - Paul Gilbert ; )

Ozzy_Fudd:- Duuuuuddde!!!! Don't worry,the JS is safe...it's your seven string I'd be concerned about!!! Access to the upper frets and all...(insert robot voice here) WARNING! WARNING! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! (now insert sound of high powered JIGSAW) BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

By the way, to all of you T2Jers who celebrate it, HAPPY EASTER!!!

Hey all,

When does Joe get home from this European promo tour webby Jon?

OK T2Jers, once we get the answer to that, let's run a contest to guess the day and time that Joe posts some blue here to give us an update? I sorta figure he will want to tell us how awseome the promo tour was and how great the first shows are going to be, so it won't be long after he gets home.

DO THE STU: Fly drive, was superb. . .

Flew in to LA, then to Palm Springs, Phoenix, Grand Canyon, Page, Bryce Canyon, Las Vegas, Visallia, Yosimite, San Fransisco, Monterey(managed to walk round Laguna Seca) and back to LA.

Was really cool and will definitely be doin it again.

PIP: Thanks for that, I'll check it out thouroughly, but I think there may only be a crazily low number in the UK, may not have alot of choice, but hey I'm 90% sure, the last 10% hangs on seeing it etc, so we'll wait and see (but c an't wait!)
