[Bobby D]

ok...here's the photos from last night.....i have to edit and see i can post videos tonight......i am TIRED, a lot of driving, but a lot of FUN.....

first -- my brother Salvatore -- he is our "security force" for protection of the tourbox -- ex US ARMY Intelligence officer, executive protection specialist, Mixed Martial Artist fighter, and generally FANTASTIC person -- when I can afford it, I take him on tour with me as stage manager....because at the end of the night, when it comes to collecting the MONEY for the gig, the club owners NEVER say "no" to my brother



pic of me, check out my new BJF shirt!!!!



pic of Mike (Newark) with his VERY COOL Fender custom shop "Elvis Costello" Jazzmaster....

Snow White Fuzz demo.......with a special riff in the middle just for Bjorn, because we bOTH love that song.....

these were all recorded with a cheap little camera, but sound pretty good, actually.

Mike (NewarkWilder) was the cameraman, and did a great job!!!! And also was very gracious in allowing me to do most of the playing last night, since he gets to keep the tourbox for a week, and I only had a few hours to spend with these....

Loved the comparisons to the non-custom shop models.

well, i feel it's only fair to compare the custom shop models to the ones that many of us already have......so that we can know whether we REALLY want it for a different sound, or if we just want it because it is "cool"

I have a lot of fun with all four of the custom shop models. The CLiffhanger did not turn out like I thought it would. To my ears, it sounded more like a cranked up Hiwatt 100 watt amp with a 4x12 loaded with Fanes than the model H does.....and it did not sound as extreme as I thought it would.....but.....i was only driving it with single coil HS-3 pickups -- I think maybe the CLiffhanger might be quite a bit more extrreme with humbuckers, or maybe even an EMG 81 or something.....hmmmm......


I wished I had a Les Paul special with some nice p90s to test the pedals with -- maybe next time!

but it sure was a lot of fun!!!!

AND -- the snow white fuzz is one of the most musical, fat, dynamic, and just plain GOOD sounding fuzzes I have ever heard -- the kind of fuzz that won't get you fired for being too noisy. I was really surprised by that pedal as well.
