Thanks, very oddly we have another show @ the same venue in 48 hours, so I won't spoil it by saying which one I'll play.Originally Posted by Ch0jin
So Awesome! Looks like heaps of fun
I've begun to love seeing your gig report threads and wondering what guitars are going to turn up this time
Somewhat hilariously, right before we went on my drummer comes up in a panic and goes "Where's your Les Paul!?!"
I was like "Uhh, she's at Casa Krashpad resting comfortably in her case, why? I've got THREE guitars here."
He: "Well Tim (our "record label" "A&R guy" filming with his fancy-schmancy camera, from whence these vidcaps came) says that thick Les Paul sound is your signature..."
Inside, I was kinda cracking up at the concept that a guy who has made a point of never playing the same guitar at a gig twice in a row for the last decade should suddenly have one guitar be his "signature," but in fairness to Tim I had used the LP almost exclusively on the record we're in the midst of, simply for convenience's sake. So instead of saying how ridiculous that was I bit my tongue and said "Don't worry, everything sounds the same through the Sovtek." Which of course was a blatant lie, but I knew I was talking to a drummer who probably didn't even know what a "Sovtek" was, and that it would be relayed to a person who very definitely didn't know what a Sovtek was. And the germ of truth to the assertion is that I do always sound the same whatever I play, just due to my own idiosyncrasies.
Well worth it to have Tim footing the bill for the new record. I shudder to think what he's already spent, and we're not even to final mix, plus then there's mastering, and he's talking about doing at least one (and probably several) video(s)! Crazy, man, crazy.
