It occurred to me today while I was strumming on the Telecaster, I have been quite remiss in not paying homage to the most legitimate Telecaster man out there by using Lonely Is the Night to warm up.

"What the fuck happened to my Black Magick? Why does it sound like it has a blanket over it?"

Fiddles with amp, before realizing the guitar tone knob is turned all the way down.

Man this hits close to home. I think it was either last week or week before and I'm losing my shit about how weak my Jubilee is sounding. I'm sure its got a tube going or something....

 

I honestly can't say how long the tone knob was turned all the way down on my Goldtop before I realized it lol. Could have been a half hour easily.

I don't even know how it got turned down.

Yeah that’s the money right there. I think that tele was a Chicago music exchange thing, I want it. My first bass was a squier p bass special in British racing green and it was slick.

I've seen some green PRS guitars that I liked. If somebody forced this one on me I'd probably take it off their hands.

I think they call that trampas green, and I have seen examples I like and examples I thought were too… I dunno, green.

Brad Alan Williams (UNT alum) played this badass refinished vintage Tele Thinline w/ Brittany Howard at ACL a couple years back.  It's what turned me onto the the Gold/Green Tele:

And then you lost me😜

I forgot I even had a green guitar, my Geogia Green Gretch 5644. Almost seems more blue than green sometimes.

I really like this green Gretch color better, though, Cadillac Green.

This is a green guitar I could get behind

Did you spell that right?

I think I just don't like my Bassbreaker 15. I'm gonna try one more time to find a sweet spot with it, but I think it's likely that I'll dump it and try to find something more "Fendery". I kick myself all the time for not jumping on a vintage Fender amp when they were findable for around $600 years ago, but at this point I'm not interested in paying what those are now fetching. The reissues are pricey too. It looks like I'll be lucky to get $400 for the Bassbreaker: any thoughts on what to swivel to? Blues Junior?

Prices have gone way up. I bought my '68 Princeton Reverb Reissue new for $899. Just looked and now they are $1199. Yikes.

The heavy flake may not be for everyone, but I thought it was cool for someone standing on a big stage at a relatively long distance from the crowd.  I'm a sucker for showy stage stuff.  I don't have a Nudie suit, but if I could pull it off when all my other bandmates on stage are doing the plaid shirt and jeans thing, I would.

We played an Octoberfest thing on Saturday. Was almost talked into wearing full lederhosen get up but I wised up.

Jesse Valenzuela from the Gin Blossoms came on after us which was pretty cool.

100% fucking percent man.

I picked this green Tele clone up off CL years ago for $50. Still own it.

Whenever I hear Glen Campbell my first thought is always "I need a Nudie Suit".

Edited by G650

Also, if you're ever passing through Corsicana there's a small Lefty Frizzell museum and some of his Nudie suits and boots are on display inside. I drove out there with my Dad not long before he got sick.

Blind Lemon Jefferson is buried in an overgrown graveyard nearby in Wortham too, we cleaned it up.


Strong chance I just gave myself irreparable hearing damage diming out (12ing out?) my 58 Bassman

I just rode a loud ass Super Glide 450 miles down coast on HWY 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles with Rock and Roll blasting into my in-helmet unit. Pretty sure I'm a little more deaf now. I think ill need to leave the music off on the return and get a quieter bike if I ever do it again.c70d13a14449bb7290d2879dc3d4feee.jpg

Apparently brain damage too, it's a 59 Bassman

If the Surlycaster happens, we need matching Nudie Suits.

Being out of town, it took me a minute to dig up a photo of my green guitar. 1958, 1st year of production and original, PAF Filtertron. The one that turned me on to them.

What speakers are you sporting in that amp?

That's a cool video. But I don't know what it is about Rhett Schull. I just can't get into that guy.

Weber P10Q

He lives near me. He’s shot a few videos at the guitar store where I bought my PRS. I keep thinking I’ll bump into him somewhere.

It didn't accept "Tree-Fiddy" as my maximum secret bid.

The one on the right seems like it would be fairly simple to imitate, except for maybe trying to find an ashtray pickup cover.

I ordered my ashtray covers from the Fender shop on Amazon. $18.

I'm disappointed it took this long for someone to post this

It's a shame that video helped end his career. Some of his guitar work was Zeppelin-esque. He had some good riffs.

Honestly he had 4 years of insane good output. But also he was a lunatic, and the scene really changed and he didn't keep up. I think he got a little shafted by changing tastes somewhat but I don't think he was built for the late 80s.

He'd have been huge in the 70s.

Anyone know what kind of rig he ran through? Always had great tone I thought.
