Perfect - thanks for the responses guys. I knew it wasn't just me w/ that f&*king Peavey. He's going to dump it off to them this weekend, and I told him to bring the GK w/ him.

1b - he does use a pick....

.....ugh, I can still hear that awful sound in my head from that Peavey. Makes me kind of queezy.

In the middle of work, so can't write much, but I'll be back w/ updates and maybe a few more questions.

Thanks again!
