As Tim and Jeff said above...you had to be there! It's excellnet on video...but awsome in real life. I'm always impressed by Eddie's playing, and backed by a good band like the Eliminators his intesity really comes through. The previous time I saw Eddie play was backed by The Ghastly Ones (and I think also Outer Wave) at Kristena's party...needless to say that was also an experience to remember. |

Eddie, can you explain to us why you use 2 Showmans? Is it just for volume? Most clubs I play in can't even handle my one Showman. —Danny Snyder I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Last edited: Feb 25, 2008 19:44:52 |

Jerry, It was my pleasure...Thanks again for making your amp available to me...saved me having to haul my amps down to the show...<u>and</u> it had great tone. Sincerely, PS My Gomez tank responded well too. |

Eddie your reverb sounded fantastic! Just curious, was anyone else playing out of your tank that night? The only reason I ask is that your tone was noticeably drippier than most. —Ryan |

It was so awesome to meet you Eddie, and was a real highlight of my trip to S. Cal. I keep staring at my Strat that was signed by you, and Paul, David Arnson, Dave Wronski, and John Blair. I feel that Strat is now priceless! I would love to hear what you think of my new CD, and have a thread posted in General Discussion for it. The Mighty Surf Lords- Sparks,Nv. |

Hey Ryan, I was the only one that used my tank. Gomez did a good job building the "G-Spring".....Glad you liked the sound. Eddie |

I've read through this whole thread, and I know it's been said before, but how cool is it that Eddie Bertrand posts on this site? You're the best, Eddie. I'm a big fan. |
