so many people don’t understand just how good Keith is.
I also like One Hit To The Body and Harlem Shuffle off of the Dirty Works album quite a bit.a Crate Powerblock into an old Univox 1×15 cabinet.I gigged with a Traynor YBA-1A MKII for the last 6 years before that,and a eavey Delta Blues for some jobs.
[quote=”Michael”]Why is it that some people think I’m crazy because I think Angie is their best? Rather, what makes so many people dislike it?
Apart from Wild Horses – the lyrics can hardly be beat. Very true I think.

Can’t you hear me knocking,Dancing with mr D,Heartbreaker,You Can’t always get what you want,Angie,Bitch,all come to mind.[quote=”1bassleft”]I knew the Delta man would have some real-life exp of this 😀 . British bars are bad, too, but I smoke a heckuva lot more often than I gig so 601’s a better bet.
Ozone is the biz for cig smoke but dropping $200 might seem a bit steep for your own occasional problem. If so, try looking out for that ozone spray intended to get that whiffy dog’s butt aroma off the sofa. Just as effective for the cancer-sticks, too.[/quote]
Sounds like a good idea,I’ll give that a try before anything else.Thanks![quote=”1bassleft”]:lol: , I’m going in the opposite direction. Buying all manner of valve/tube amps. Mrs Bass is getting annoyed with musty old smellies cluttering up the place. A friend in LA is “Champifying” an obscure US 5W for me; fortunately, she doesn’t accompany me to the Royal Mail collection depot.[/quote]
Other than my Peavey Delta Blues 2×10 and Fender Blues Jr,all my amps are old tube types as well,but I have sold a bunch of great ones I wish I had back now.
What have you got now?[quote=”1bassleft”]Hoosier, I just edited your post to make the Photobucket link “live” – hope you don’t mind. Nice collection.[/quote]
I most certainly don’t mind,I can use all the help I can get!
Thanks,I’m new here(can you tell?)and so far the folks seem very nice and eager to help.
As far as the guitar collection,I’ve kept most(but not all) of the guitars I’ve had,but I’ve gone thru a pretty fair collection of amps.I’m down to about 6 of them.I’ve probably owned 30 or more.[quote=”lee_UK”]The smell is only going to be on the surface so a good guitar polish will get rid of it on the solid body guitars, but the Dot and Taylor might be a bit more difficult, maybe a lot of the problem is in the cases? do you keep the lids closed when the guitars are being played?[/quote]
The cases are closed,so they must pick it up from the guitars.The Les Paul seems to be the worst,I wonder if the finish material makes a difference.[quote=”mrblanche”]The smell of cigaret smoke is contained in an oil that is carried in the air and deposited on surfaces. Once it gets inside any cavity, it’s going to be there for a long time. Also, it soaks into any little crevice. Believe it or not, it’s on your wound strings, and the only way to really get it out is to change strings.
A solution of alcohol (isopropyl) will get a lot of it out, and since the alcohol evaporates fast, you’ll smell the smoke really strongly for a few minutes.
Febreze may kill it in your case, but it WILL come back, probably.[/quote]
I’ve used lemon oil with some moderate success,I’ll try alcohol on the strings and see if it helps,maybe I’ll use the alcohol and then wipe the strings and fretboard with the lemon oil.[quote=”lee_UK”][quote=”Hoosier”]http://photobucket.com/albums/d32/JosephRhodes/
[/quote]Did you change the pickups on that Gibson LP Delux ? i thought they had mini humbukers? very nice collection though, whats the green sunburst guitar?[/quote]
Yeah,it had mini humbuckers when I got it way back in ’76.I was younger and dumber and I routed it and put in Gibson PAFs,but now it has Dimarzio
Super Distortions in it that sound great when you roll them back a ways.
The green guitar is a Sears Silvertone/Teisco that was my second guitar owned that I got in the mid 60s.I had a freind refret it and it came back unplayable,so I recently picked up a very nice brand new Squier neck for $50 and made it fit.One pickup is a PAF that came out of the Les Paul,the other is from my Dot.I put an Allparts top loading tele bridge on it(matches the neck spacing and profile perfectly)that I cut to fit.I just wanted it to play again,but it actually plays pretty nice and sounds nice as well.
