Ut Oh I see you got your eye on that Fender Tone-Master LoL
Nothing Like Tubes to give that Warm Blues sounds. Its Speaker cabinet sits just above it. 4x10 inch Speakers driven by that 100 watt head gives me my best Blues sounds.
to the right of the Tone-Master is a 100watt Fender Performer, also Tubed and gives good warm Bluesy Sounds But I use it for more Grundgy Power and its hard to see but above it is a 4x10 Peevy speaker Cabinet that the Performer Drives.
To the Left of the Tone-Master and to left of that Window is my Fender Accustasonic Stereo 50watt Acoustic Guitar amp and above it is a 12 inch Crate speaker that that amp drives.
You can see a mishap all over the face of that amp contributed by a drunk that staggered up on stage spilling his beer all over it. Need to figure out how to clean it.
to the left of that amp is my Guitar shelf and below that is my Makie 24/4 Mixer and below the Mixer and out of camera view is my effects modules. (which I may have to take another picture to get them into view. then I have a set of Yamaha stereo speakers 2x15 inch and 2x12 inch. for the PA.

Hi LeMort
We were talking about writing songs and i thought it would be fun to share a bit. You are more then welcomed to use any of these lyrics for your songs.
This first one was written while I had time sitting in my Fox Hole in Vietnam.
its Called "The Surfers Prayer"

A lone surfer stands upon his rock
and ponders upon his love
The ocean opens before him
under the star lite sky above

To call upon his Gods
he stands to speak with open arms
and says the words to keep his love
from any painful harms

Tell me all you swirling winds
that all around me roar
Do you know a spot
Where lovers weep no more?

Some lone and pleasant beach
some valley to the west
Where free from troubled pain
our restless souls my rest?

Tell me you mighty deep
whose waters round me play
Know'st you some favored spot
some island far away?

Where restless lovers may find
the bliss which they sigh?
where sorrow never lives
and their love never die?

And you, you Sires star
you with your shining face
while you look upon this beauty
asleep in night's embrace

Close your eyes and sing to us
from the heavens far above
Please watch over us
and comfort the searing pains of love.

[LeMort]

Wow, strong poem.
I can't, obviously, imagine how it must've been like to be in Vietnam.
I'll see if I have something to share, somewhere, too.
(After the world went digital I lost track of much stuff. I'm not particularly good at making systems, LOL)

Hi LeMort I promised you another song,
This one is a bit dark. Its about me dieing, but it also is about hope and Faith.
I call it "Try"

Terry, my friend, don't limp away uneasy
as people rush through the streets so busy

Spitting up pieces of your broken lung
as you stop to wonder where it all begun

You write your song on a paper sack
of memories that take you back

to a beautiful love that went astray
and your faith in life began to sway

your body permeates a ghastly stench
as you laid it down upon that bench

the wind will cut you to the bone
with tattered clothing and no home

AND YOU HEAR THE ANGELS SING

In the thunderous clash, where our spirits fly
and the lightning flash, up against the sky
In the suns sweet light, love by and by
and we spring to flight to kiss the sky
we can do it, we can do it, if we try

As the song falls from your deathly grasp
and your voice gurgles it's last death rasp

you can hear the music of the song unsung
as it floats along in the light of the sun

you can hear it scream as it hits the ground
it calls to you with it's ghostly sound

it grabs your soul and it begins to sway
as it carries you to a place far away

where the flowers bloom with butterfly wings
and the stars stand out and start to sing

close your eyes and you may read
these words of hope that plant our seed

AND YOU HEAR THE ANGELS SING

In a thunderous clash, where our spirits fly
and lightning flash, up against the sky
In the suns sweet light, love by and by
and we spring to flight to kiss the sky
we can do it, we can do it, if we try

[LeMort]

Again, great poem
YOu write good, thank you for letting me read them!

Here is the newest member to my Family.
it's a limited edition Epiphone Wildkat Pearl White from Sweetwater with Gold hardware.
She is a beauty and compliments Franlinstien my White Strat which also has Gold Hardware.
So I have christened her "The Bride".
She has a few flause that I will need to make some Modes on. But for the price of 549.00 you can't go wrong.
The Flause are:
1. The Guitar seems quite heavy. It's rumored that there is 50 feet of cable inside her. Not sure if that's true or not, but it is heavy for a semi hollow body. Also its said that the cable that connects pots, switches and Pickups are over shielded causing that Muddy Tone. I'll look into what I can do about that.
2. She comes with a Bigsbee Wammy Bar that I have tested and seems to pull strings out of tune when you use it.This has been noted by many on the internet and there is a work around which I purchased and is on the way. Its called the BigsbeFix. which is a replacement for the roller which causes the strings to be at such a steep angle from bridge. the new roller has extension legs that reduces that angle.
3. The Pickups are Epiphone P90s not Gibson p90s and don't sound like Gibson p90s. I have purchased a set of Seymore Duncun Hot Rodded Humbuckers. The Jazz for the neck and the JB for the Bridge.
Can't expect High End Gear at such a reasonable Price.
So Welcome "The Bride" of Frankinstien.
Hope you like her.
