Interesting JB...I'd have thought you had a more ferrous taste in Toan. The Trainwrecks sure have a great snarl to them

Mmmm I have the urge to want to be a LP / Trainwreck kinda guy, but my skills are more in the Ibanez / 5150 camp :mental:

I like spongey amps. That way my sloppiness comes across as intentional chops...

Hmmm, you sound like you're saying an Ibanez into a 5150 is a thing of low worthiness. I spent a large chunk of the 90's playing an Ibanez into a 5150.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

How the hell does he do that without muting behind the slide? Excellent tone as well - good find.

Nah not meaning to downplay it at all, I'm just much better at doing chuggy downpicking stuff rather than noodly blues stuff that the LP/TW combo seems more suited to, likewise if blues lawyer dude tries to play a high gain amp with an Ibanez it's the same kinda outta your depth / comfort zone thing :)

It's funny, back then I became known as "the 5150 guy" as I got mine not long after they were 1st released and well before they became a staple brootz amp.

Not so special these days of course, but kind of cool at the time.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
