Yeah, bass is fake too. I could play the bass, but it's such a labor for
me. I'm lazy.
Thanks for the input.

Thanks, Thad, it's me. I does love me some Robben Ford. ;-) He's about
the best blues player out there for my money. Prolly 'cause he's a lot
more than a blues player.
I don't usually write stuff like that, but I just dug the first 3
changes and had to write something after them. Usually I play Latin and
jazz, although I do have a long, sordid rock and R & B past life too.
I think I did get a pretty nice tone. You're going to laugh - it's a
custom Strat type w/ EMGs into either a Pod (mark 1) or a Vox Tonelab.
With a UAD1 Pultec and 1176. That's about as digitalectric as you can
get, but dang it sounds warm enough doesn't it?
When do I get to hear some of your new album, or old albums?
