Didn't Jimmy Page had one with a motorised bridge back in the early 90s? Looks cool and works great but bloody expensive as far as I could remember.

The cab with speakers he quoted me USD450........ you think I can get a cheaper 2x12 Cabinet?

That's a good price. thumbup.gif What's your budget? How about selling off your current amp? laugh.gif

and my advice, get a cheap ukulele from Woh Fat for RM50 then when you're good get a Kamaka. . . it's what pro's use. . .

saving up for one myself. . . had my eye on one kamaka for quite a while. . .

I don't see the point in Carlos Santana churning out collaboration albums one after another other than him milking as much as he could from his renewed popularity since "Smooth". Every release follows seem to be living in its shadow. That said, he has a great band backing him and I rather listen to the collaboration rather than the artist's own songs (Smooth > Rob Thomas' solo stuff & most Matchbox 20 hits, Game of Love > anything Michelle Branch has done etc etc... smile.gif )

I agree that his playing is pretty stagnant these days but for inspiring stuff, check out his 70s stuff like Europa, Samba Pa Ti & Black Magic Woman. biggrin.gif His control of feedback is impeccable. biggrin.gif

Speaking of Santana-ish collaborations, this takes the cake imo:

Yeah but Fast Fret gives the strings this slinky feeling... that you either love or hate b@lls nasty!  laugh.gif

Unfortunately, Fast Fret sometimes leaves a slightly sticky feeling on the fretboard...  shakehead.gif

I don't really like Fast Fret either... WD-40 FTW! laugh.gif

Yeah... you get a more Jimmy/Jimi/Jimmie(Vaughan) vibe. thumbup.gif

It was suggested by an old forumer, ssslayerrr and apparently he uses it on his J-customs (Those are his guitars right? xD). Kinda skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. Works pretty well, doesn't really prevent rust but slows down the process. Don't think it's harmful to the wood, but to be sure, I use it only for strings and metal parts.

O.o

You sprayed it directly on the strings or on a cloth then only wipe the strings?
*
Cloth hah, to be safe. xD The thing is, my palms are always sweaty and usually strings rust in no time. At one point, I tried Elixirs but they were too expensive and have this plastic-y tone. Currently using DR strings and they last pretty long with WD-40.

QUOTE(RustReaver4D1 @ Oct 17 2007, 04:37 PM)
Hmmm...

I checked the almighty Wiki and it says that WD40 is a penetrating oil... and penetrating oil can be used on metal-stringed musical instruments... hmm.gif

no surprise you got hendrix there tongue.gif
how much are your DR strings anyway? 10-52 ?
how would you compare them to d addarios tongue.gif
just bought a pack yesterday.. might want to try DR strings or some other brands..
*
DR strings are around RM20 lar hah... 10-52 ya... I'm using the Pure Blues, which has a pretty raw vintage sound. The low strings are great for SRV riffs

Used to use D'Addarios for a long time before Elixirs hah. They last longer than Ernie Ball, my experience with Ernie Ball then was that they would turn black in hours and start to rust in a few days time. doh.gif

Tone-wise I can't comment lar as when I switch to DR I was already using my Fender hah. What I love about the DRs is that even when they're beginning to rust, they would still sound pretty decent. With D'Addario and Ernie Ball, the tone pretty much die as soon as the strings turn black.

how much does a DR coated cost? =p

The colour one ar? Twice as much as the regular strings I think. The colour/coated ones are fugly and not worth it imho lol.

Anyway give the pure blues a try lar, it might sound great on your Les Paul. biggrin.gif
