I remember being in a hotel bar one time with this guy who was zoned out in his headphones listening to Birdland and ignoring his group. He pulls them off and offers them to me...you know who this is?
Like duh.
I've got an old Ampeg Portaflex and (when it's working) can get nearly this exact tone from my Fender Precision.
Didn't mean to bail out on you, but I was there and gone in short order. Lots of pricey stuff to touch and buy, but I am not in the big bucks buy mode. Most of the folks/tiers I would usually stop and talk to (Pops, Murphy, Cordiero...) where pretty much surrounded the whole time. I think I have gotten used to doing those things on weekdays without so many people in attendance. Figured I would get home early and score some points for the next shows outings! Good to see you again. Maybe the next show(s) as well. Bob
