Hi everyone again!
Thanks for warm welcome everybody. I guess the chances to actually talk to Joe in this section of the site are close to zero, so I'll try contacting the promoter to get Joe's signature on my JS1000.
By the way, does anybody know how to tune it properly (I mean the springs that control the bridge)? Or maybe there's a site about it? I couldnt find one...

962 - My bad on the 1200, I had totally forgot there was a 2000. Old age again!!!
Big Bunny - I got the natural tone. It is darker on the edges then fades lighter to themiddle. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
VFRrocker No we don't have a "road tax" There is only a tax on *petrol* and another on the trucking industry. Due to their extra wear and tear. But the pay by the mile will be more like a road tax. We do have a few private roads here(from memory) 2 in Houston, 2 in So.Cali, and one more thgat is escaping me. right now, of course it it 5:45 am too. I just read Cuthbert's post. I agree. It's the fact that there are somany layers of crap to go through for the money to make it into the right account. every layer takes it's cut. I'm not anti Gov't at all I just would like to see it ran more like a business.With some accountability to it's shareholders(citizens).
Cuth - Yea, it is a good site because it is basically a *rat out the other firms* site. All the mistakes are there. LOL I've seen the chips for your pet too. That is scary. And they now have that pilot program at a highschool where each child is given a badge that they have to wear. They are then tracked thoughout the day. God I wish I could just sit down and have cofee with some of ya'll and talk for hours. Ok, I can see the schools point of view. Increased security, if they find some vandalism they can track who was there(if they had theirbadge on, which I wouldn't but...) etc. Now I can also see the parents point that this is an invasion of privacy. On the third hand it would seem that there is going to be a market created by the fear of our children getting kidnapped. As a parent you want to do all you can to protect you kids so why not!! But then do you take the chip out at 18. Hell as a parent I would love to have access to a GPS unit in my kid. "Suzie I thought you said you were going to the libary? From my data it shows you were on the beach." But will that make the kid an outcast. And do we REALLY want to know that our daughters are getting shaged by some guitar playing freak. It is all scary shit. The worst for me is that I hate living out from the city so I can't even move away to avoid all this. *big sigh* I guess life is like jazz, you learn all you can, but in the end you're playing by ear.

Suzie2000, I do not know?? I did not make any comment/reply to "the fence" and Joe's mainstreamedness... But since inquiring minds want to know, IMHO, Joe was anything BUT mainstream when he first arrived from another planet but through the years has become more and more mainstream without ever actually getting there... That is why I would like to see him head back in the other direction personally

Yeah Cuth, I have "Lost Christmas Eve" It was really cool, great singing, nice concept and CD booklet as well (although I received a promo copy late last summer without the booklet and had to peruse a friends). I think Ovation must have it as well, I recall him mentioning it around X-mas. I have not pulled mine for a while..... I do not have the previous two installments in the X-mas Trilogy though..... I do have something else by them, I will have to look, must not have been to memorable if I do not remember it....
By the way, after reviewing that website I must tell you that the dude who plays violins (Mark Wood) is killer!!! His first two records (on the "Guitar for the Practising Musician" label were excellent shred!!!!

For the first time in ages I played football (soccer) with my chums.
I was in defensive-midfield and I did my job well might I add...although one guy decided to smack the ball as hard as he could into the exact space my testicles were occupying...needless to say I was winded and knocked off my feet and fell ass first to the ground.
We were playing against the year 11 kids that are friends with one of my friends, (we're in year 13 btw) and...well I'm going to put this down to old age...but we got whooped. 9-6 was the final score.
Anywayz how is everyone doing? Steven Wilde howz it going man? Are you submitting to the T2J2 CD (forgive me if I have asked before lol)
Anywayz, take care y'all

More Than 1 In 10 U.S. Adults Have An IPod
TechWeb - More than 22 million U.S. adults have an iPod or an MP3 player, with men more likely than women to be carrying the digital music devices, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
The number amounts to 11 percent of the U.S. adult population that's 18 years old or older, the research firm said in a report released this week. Taking teenagers into account and it's safe to say there are several million more people carrying the popular iPod from Apple Computer Inc. or a competing MP3 player.
Men are more likely have a music player than women, 14 percent versus 9 percent, respectively; and nearly 1 in 5 people under 30 have the devices, Pew found. Fourteen percent of adults between the ages of 30 to 48 had music players.
The devices were mostly for the well to do. A quarter of the devices were owned by people in households earning more than $75,000, with 10 percent living in households earning $30,000 to $75,000. Households making less than $30,000 accounted for only 6 percent of the devices.
Broadband access was strongly associated with ownership of the players. Some 23 percent of people with broadband at home have iPods/MP3 players, compared to 9 percent of those who have dialup connections. Almost a third of people with broadband access at home and work had the devices.
The Pew research was based on a nationwide phone survey involving 2,201 people and has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.

Until the iPod has a truly dynamic adjustable EQ vs a paltry frew presets, I'll never listen to one. Even MP3s burned at higher bit rates still sound a bit tinny to my ears.

Hey to all in Satriani Land
Also to Dave Watkinson ( PhryDom ) & Mark London ( death cube K ) hats off to both of you and everyone who is involved in the t2jcd project. Also to Joe Satriani I think this is the coolest thing that any artist that is in the lime light and is world known to do for the norm people to get some of there music out to people who enjoy music. Instrumental Rock is alive and well and people like Joe Satriani make it possible, to Joe I have'nt met you but for you to do something like this speak's volume of your personality you have to be a very cool person and humble to make this possible for your fans to enter this cd project, not all stars are so gracious to do so. Your music inspires my playing totally keep the inspiration going. Good luck to all entry's.
Peace Out to all the Clan!!!!!!!!

Isn't it a great song - that link is priceless !!
Thanks for the free advertising for that link.
I was hoping it would be a surprise to everyone who went to the site - but letting them know what song is being played is even better.
Satriani's "dog" song rocks !!

962 Simon Daultry AND
Steeve T:
I was going to buy the Js1000 but trying out the Js100, I liked that one better expecially for the PRICE! But also, the JS100 is beautiful when in clean mode and it has power as well with distortion. And the Black color is very lucid and it sort of imitates the chrome... So, at least 'till now I've decided to go for the JS100 so that I can buy a nice amp with a couple of cabinets.

In follow-up to the list cheese101 provided us with recently . . . .
I received this from a friend of mine just a few minutes ago (it is still warm :)
You may not believe this, but there is some truth to the medicinal qualities of Ketchup. The stomach cancer incidence in the USA is very low compared to especially the Far East, and especially Japan. This is the result of our use of Ketchup, whereas that is unheard of in Japan and other countries in the Far East. What does Ketchup have to do with it, you may ask? Ketchup contains antioxidants that prevent stomach cancer! Maybe the Japanese should start putting Ketchup on their sushi! ... That's the truth, believe it or not!
