drop it. I've been trying to find them at a lot of the music stores here in
Atlanta but most have never heard of them. A few of the stores have offered
to order them, but they only come in lots of 70, which would be nearly a
lifetime supply for me!
The only real purchase I made in 2005 was my Martin D-15 acoustic, which I
bought just before I (re)discovered instro surf a couple of months ago. I
DID, however, dig out my 4 pickup Teisco Del Rey and Peavy Musician amp. I
ended up having to replace the tuning machines (they were bad when I bought
it for ten bucks at a pawn shop 20 years ago), but it plays pretty good.
After playing bass in a King Crimson oriented instro band for the past 15
years, it's a little difficult to get my chops back, but I am determined to
become a surf musician (hopefully with a little help from ya'll).
