My expression doesn't show it, but this was the most crazy/fun gigs I ever played, on Friday. When someone points a camera in my face, I just can't help but scowl a bit.

Hey John, how's that retro 4003 treating ya?

Oh i'm lovin' it! Still wanna swap out that bridge higain for something weaker, and still looking for better strings though.

At the show where the above pic was taken, during the last song of our four and a half hour set, someone in the crowd started spraying their beer towards us. Needless to say, the next morning, I was scrubbing dried Bud Light off the poor thing!

Animal! Who drinks lite beer?! And BUD!!!!

You could always unwind the coil on the bridge pup to lighten it up a bit. It would tone it down, and also clarify it too. Taking it to 7.4-8K would be like a toaster.

Nice retro axe young man- someday we'll all have V68's (wishful thinking)

Makes sense to me. That's all lite beer is good for. God knows you shouldn't swallow the stuff.

Oh, and I bet when you guys were 20, you were guzzling finely aged port?

Heavens no, it's illegal to drink under the age of 21 in California!

Mmmmmmm....light beer! I'm not a Bud fan, but a bottle of Miller Light on ice is hard to beat. Cool. Crisp. Refreshing. YYYYYummmmmey!!!!

And I like lots of other beers. American Micro stuff, Belgian stuff, German stuff, Irish stuff, English stuff. Even the occasional Pacifico or Tecate!

Nice pic, John.

John, your bass looks amazing.....and what is this "light" beer you speak of....I can't recall this particular brand from my college youth.

When I was 20 the drinking age was 18 ... but I have never been much of a drinker ...

What's my favorite type of beer?

The next one!

Never a light beer drinker - my tastes go along with Jeff T's choices. And I didn't like beer until I was 24-25. I was more herbal and hard stuff at a younger age...
