You just had to post a pic of you playing the 4002 so my year starts of with depression !!!!

Look who's talking Mr. 4004LK.

Hey Kevin, what song do you play the 6 string of you 4080, and what do you do about the bass parts?

I was gonna take my 4080 WHT last night, but the 4002 won out.

Bleh........

The food at this restaurant was great!

Dave, I play the intro to Broken (Seether) & the second guitar in Tears in Heaven (Clapton).
Tears has no bass so I play second guitar, rather than adding bass, & in Broken I switch to bass when the drummer kicks in.
We do 2 guitar solos where we play pretty hard & punchy, then back off & play very quietly for most of the song.
Love the 4002, by the way!

Wow, Jeff! 5 string fretless! That would just confuse the hell out o' me

We covered the first half (10:30pm - 1:30am) of a rockin' all night New Years' Eve party at a local club that also coincidentally was celebrating it's first year in business. We were also the first band to have played there last New Years' Eve, so we were the 1st and last of 2005... and now the first of 2006, as it were!

By the way, the second band was on from 2am till 6 am!!! Now THAT'S a PARTY!!!

I can't believe how long you chaps have to play for. In the UK, it's normaly 2x45 min spots & occasionaly 2x1 hours.....

The Rick Turner is also fretless but has fretlines.

Well as it actually works out, our 10:30 to 1:30 gig was three sets of about 45 minutes each.

Can you imagine having to play three hours straight through?

(Just a rhetorical question Mr. Springsteen...)

We did 8:00 to 1:00, two sets, about 2 hours each.

we played from 10 pm to 3 am 4 sets ...

Four 1-hour sets are normal for my band, too. Keeps your callouses current!

we usually play about 3 90 min sets.

last night I went to an open jam and played about 6 songs ... that makes for an easy night ...
