I can work with you, Jerry. Don't need it all at once. Not enough nut width for me. Other than that, it sounds great. Love those Hi-Lo Trons! Through my Vox I get that George Harrison stuff from "Beatles For Sale."

Thanks, Brian. Had a great time with that puppy playing George's parts on "Beatles For Sale." One of a few things I'm moving to see if I have any chance in hell for this: http://entertainment.ha.com/common/view ... IdNo=13347
