    Hi All,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. Been playing about 35 years. Here's a list of some of my stuff...

    Guitars:
    1967 Tele
    1976 Strat
    1994 Am. Std. Tele (#1)
    1989 52 RI Strat (CIJ) (#2)
    1996 Start (MIM)
    2006 Lite Ash Tele
    2006 Lite Ash Strat
    2006 Dean Vendetta XM (#1 for the drop c stuff)

    A couple of 1x12 cabs (one cab is used with prosonic)

    This and DolphinStreet are very, very nice sites. Robert, I saw your posts on the TDPRI and found your DolphinStreet Site from those. Wow, let me say thanks for taking the time to do all of this. You have a way of explaining things that really get the idea across. I had been to this site a while back and was reminded to check it out again by 'Sculpin'.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Hi Bob, thanks for joining the family, eh! I am glad you like the sites!

    You've got some nice gear! You should tell us more about the Prosonic. I'm not too familiar with that amp.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Robert!

    I just edited the post to change the model on the Crate and to add EVH and Roth to my fav players list.

    Wow, believe it or not there is a wiki on it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Prosonic

    I got it new in 96. Custom shop model black tolex. I run it in the A recto mode at 30 watts. Wiki seems incorrect with 40 watts (AB2) - manual says 50 watts in this mode. It had a popping noise when switching channels but Fender fixed it free in 97 or 98.

    Don't use the gain channel much but it is usable and you can get a good sound. Sounds really great clean, nice Fender tones. I get a nice clean base sound and use the attenuator to run it hot around 6 or 7 but keep the volume down. Responds nice to pick attack and cleans up. It's a keeper for me.

    Great amp Tad heavy at 48lbs / 22kg. Some don't like it, some do. I guess it's that way with just about everything.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Hi Bob. Welcome.

    Those Prosonics are nice. My jamming buddy has one and it is a great sounding rig.

    I was also glad to see that you use a DD5. I have used mine for many years and it is road tested. Works like a charm and I actually like the sound for a digital delay. I use the tap temp function a lot. Keeps it in the groove ya know.

    Glad to have you hanging with us.

    Welcome to the fretnet Bob..

    Wow, loads of thanx to all. Let me answer some of the Q's...

    250Keith: Yup the Fender Supersonic is the evolved Prosonic. Heard lots of good reviews but haven't tried one yet.

    Jimi75: Yeah, lots of stories with that old Tele. Bought it in 1976 from a biker friend. He had wrecked his bike and was laying beside it all banged up and knocked out. I helped him up and got him and his bike (Harley) home. He asked me to come by the next day. I did and he offered me that Tele. All I had was $100 and he took it. Went on to play many a gig with it.

    tot_Ou_tard: Glad to have turned you on to some players
    Hank Garland - 50's Western Swing
    Redd Volkaert - Master Tele player like Kirchen
    Jerry Donahue - Master Tele player, played with the Hellecasters
    Norman Brown - Smooth Jazz player with seemingly unlimited vocabulary
    Ulrich Roth - Lead player with 70's Scorpions. Called Uli Jon Roth now.

    Again, thanx for the kind words and comments. Hopefully, I can add to the fun.

    Cheers,

    Bob
    Help, I've fallen and can't reach my Tele!
