and back to the honey bee

Postby williamh » Wed Jan 05, 2011 1:55 pm

sold my honey bee like a month ago for a sweet honey overdrive. I'd been pretty content with that decision. Last week I picked up a gretsch tennessee rose and the first thing that came to my mind was "man this guitar would sound awesome with a honey bee." So I'm heading back in that direction now. Honey bee on the way, will hopefully be here by the end of the week.

Excited to hear if it really does sound like as good of a match with my gretsch as I'm thinking it will.

I kind of have a situation where I have enough money invested in gear to always have a nice rig. I typically change my rig out entirely every time I start into a situation with a new band that's going to be my focus. I don't really get that attached to gear(other than one telecaster that I have), so it's not too big of a deal to me. It basically usually is that I will trade around and pick up whatever gear I think will sound best for whatever my current project is. Picked up this gretsch recently as I thought it would be a good fit when I was trying it out at the store. When I got home the majority of my dirt pedals made it feedback a bit, and when I was thinking through what pedals I owned that would probably work well with it the honey bee was the first that came to mind.

The thing is, these random trades and transactions aren't really a bother or hassle to me. It just kind of amused me that the first pedal to come to mind that I figured would work well with the new guitar was one that I just sold. :laughing7

I think this will be honey bee round 4.
