Guitarman77897- To answer your earlier question about the Pro Track p/u in the middle; the blade-type pickups don't have the individual pole pieces like the regular humbuckers do, so you don't have to worry about F or Regular spacing. If you do need a good new all tube amp, I am selling my 55 Watt Bugera head for $300. It's only about 4 months old. (I just want to upgrade to a bigger Bugera and need that money to pay for it!) I would even consider shipping it for free. You would have to invest in either a 2X12 (recommended) or a 4X12 cab to go with it, though. You can get a 4X12 for $249, which is what I have, and love! Good luck with your BBW!
Randell- So sorry to hear about your loss. You will be in my thoughts. A Train of Angels shall be the song of the day!
Just can't get enough of the new CF song. I did purchase it from iTunes hoping it would be of better quality than what is streaming from the CF site, but I do not believe it is. I really hope that actual album's audio quality is better than this. Otherwise, two thumbs up!

EDIT- Guitarman- Regarding your p/u installation- Are you going to install them yourself or take it to a music shop? Reason I ask is that it would benefit you to have all three p/u's installed at the same time (to save on the cost of labor) (depending on the luthier). My guy charged me $60 to do both p/u's, the hi-pass filter and replace the coil tap in the JS-100. Had I taken it in two separate times to have that work done, he probably would have charged me $60 each time. Hope that makes sense. Here are a couple wiring diagrams that may help you... JEM555 and Ibanez RG series. Hope these help, and good luck! Also, be sure to check the polarity of the p/u's before you mount them (whether they need to be upside down or not) as this will affect the coil splitting when you use the 5-way switch. My shop installed the neck p/u upside down, so I had to unmount it and turn it around; fortunately he left enough wire so that I could do that.

Aaaaaaaaaaand, since my last post is probably close to the character limit (sorry!), I wanted to share this little story about Mike Fraser's 10 career defining records.
Also going to see Ned Evett and TD here in Boise Aug. 20th! Getting stoked about that; tickets are only $10!! Taking the wife to see the Blue Man Group in Sept. too. Saw them on DVD, figured it would be worth seeing them live while they are here.
OK I'll shut up again for a few weeks...

It was a great pleasure for me. to see Joe in Saint Julien en Genevois.
A lot of people thought that it was a joke. the star in a unknown festival in a insignifiant little town in France.
We had a lot of fun. Just wana say : thanks

My amp is fixed, my squeaky big bad wah has been replaced with a new, squeak free one. Everything is sounding great.
Nice playing Rica, you're a hell of a lot better than I was at that age.

would anyone advise against a used Mini Colossal for $180 (110 pounds) plus a $20 1 year warranty from Guitar Center?
It was like a $600 amp at one time.

I want to so bad. A little over a year ago, I got 2 grand from graduation, I had enough to get either a JS1200 or a really nice amp. But I spent it on my first semester at college.
go figure I spent the money I earned from finishing school on more school.
It'll pay off in the long run, so for now I'm looking for the best sound for the lowest cost. These little improvements like a new pickup are still doing wonders so I cant wait until I have the means to get JS guitars and JVMs.
And I wonder if Joe gets all his equipment for free or does he have to pay anything?
and if he signs a contract he probably gets free equipment and then gets paid to use it. I gotta write some songs and sign with someone :P

2shay, I am, but not. I made the page due to peer pressure (no names T). lol! I added Joe & a few friends, and within 15 minutes I wanted to delete the whole thing. I don't like fb and don't accept anybody to a page I'm not participating in...even when threatened by a pack of gorillas! LOL!
Hey Al, Would you look at this?

Conch - Some of your choices are somewhat eclectic and that's Good, but Jeff C? Sorry but the nearest he gets to a top five drummists is if he's picking them IMHO opinion that is.

Toosh, I love the way Campitelli drums. IMO his playing has improved leaps & bounds since the first time I saw Joe '96 or whenever it was. He's not flashy or a show-off like some of my other choices, but he always looks like he's having such a great time and really loves what he's doing. Between that and the dimples, he makes my list :-)
