Oh, I will. I just finished earlier today and had to go to work. I'm doing what I can a little at a time. I just wanted to let people know that have access to that (everyone but BTD -K —"Turn the knob to 10 and break it off!" -Baja Marty |

Seeing everyone's pictures - what a great weekend! Was so great to meet everyone! And hear some awesome music. And sell a bit of vinyl (enough to pay for gas!). Got some new CD's, t-shirts and even a 45'! Jeff, you did an amazing job setting this up. Thanks for all your hard work and I hope you're recovered by now. And Brian, thanks for making it out here. It wouldn't have been right not to have you there. Can't wait till next time! |

Outsides didn't bring her wrestling mask. I was getting worried but after I saw her, I was pretty sure I could have taken her in a wrestling match. As Kurt Vonnegut's brother would have said, "If this isn't nice, what is?" |

DP, was that you on Taco Wagon? I can't remember which song BTD played on. I was busy watching Ivan play the lead. |

It looks like the guitar is more fun than bass or drums. Is there a photo of Danny without a huge smile on his face? |

Your action is so much better than mine Eddie, Danny made the right choice. All of my other guitars match yours too, I want it. One of the great things about the convention was being able to compare guitars like we did. That was worth more than 2 hours worth of threads. I got to handle 2 of Dave Wronski's Jaguars and see the Top Secret buzz stop alternative up close. Shhhh!. Did you know Dave uses brass saddles on the high E and B strings? You can't even buy those. |

Dave probably MADE those brass saddles..or else had one of his Fender Corona luthier buddies hook him up... (ps: i use a brass nut on the dp '52 RI p-bass: brass with the nickel roundwounds sounds fantastic!) |

That is correct. He actually showed me those the first time I met him and even offered to get me some. Eight years later I finally got to hold the beasts. I can be be fairly certain he has a good set-up. |

Damn, I should have asked to hold them Doug don't take it personal that I didn't play your guitar :wink:, I just grabbed the one closest at the time I needed it. —Danny Snyder 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 |
