Nice hat! When Tracy and I were really in gear, playing ALL the time, we had looked into doing a USO tour. Just couldn't work it out.

I think I knew that. I couldn't quite see the "mickey mouse ears" of the Prospect. But it didn't seem large enough to be a 535, so I was trying to make it into a Prospect. Either way, I liked watching the vid. 😎

My drummer sent me this, thinking she might be related to my Tracy. Same last name, but alas, spelled differently. A quite good and interesting take on Time of the Seasons. And lo and behold, what's the guitar playing sporting there? Hmmm, maybe a Prospect? A "funny" thing about this, my drummer thinks there are only 2 real guitar brands. I mentioned this one is probably a Heritage. ..... crickets!!! 😄

These articles were in a news feed. And yeah, may not be an official response. Mostly just wanted to share. I think it's a positive that the new Heritage is taking this approach to Gs harrassment, tho'.

Seems to be a lot of misinformation in that Gibby response. There is a Heritage response to their response out there now, too. https://guitar.com/news/were-not-going-to-be-bullied-heritage-guitars-releases-statement-on-Gibbons-lawsuit/

Hmm. From our own conversations with the new Heritage guys, seems to be some misleading comments from the big G. Specifically, what new designs? https://guitar.com/news/gibson-issues-formal-response-to-heritage-lawsuit/?amp

And I sold it to John Covach. After buying it from Brently. .......... 😎 At one time Mr. Brently had two. I bought the blue one. The other may have been red. Interesting guitar. Not quite a Tele. Not quite a ........

Mark, how can they be strung and then plek'd? Doesn't the pleking take metal off the frets? Would seem counterintuitive to string them up first. Then again, maybe I don't fully understand the pleking process.

That ones a hybrid. Not a true SS Amp. Sounds pretty darned decent. Especially for a NAMM recording. Good player helps. 😎

Not surprising. Seems in the olden day, SS amps would sound great on their own. Put 'em in a band situation and they tended to disappear. Been there, had it happen. But recently, something has changed. Tech most likely. Not familiar with the Orange SS amps. But overall, not surprised it sounded good.

😂 Uh, yeah. No doubt!! Guess that just shows no one pays any attention to ME on stage. 😕

Bird, going to disagree with you. Not on the chicken shit, of course. But I gig a lot. And even my tube snob friends, and my band mates, didn't know my amp was SS. Until I told them.

@ScottL Welcome to the HoC. Nice way to "buy in". That's a looker, for sure. And an '01? Nice!! 😎

Hmmm, possibly Josh. But if the Mustangs and G-Decs and what not are any example ... well, hopefully they aren't following those paradigms. To be honest, tho', I have not heard any of the new Tone Master amps. However, we all know, whatever science can invent, science can copy.

Just to pile in here, altho' I may be a bit late to the game. No real need to mention all the tube amps I've played over the years. But recently I dumped them all for a Quilter Aviator. Got to admit it took a week or so of playing to get used to it. Not unlike my many other amps, or even guitars. Before that, I had used a Mesa TA-15 (oops, mentioned an amp!). I played probably 6 gigs with the Aviator before Tracy (singer, boss) even noticed. And what she noticed was the combo amp as opposed to head/cabinet. Honestly, she has been VERY vocal about the amps I've used thru the years, and this one passed muster with flying colors. The Quilter Aviator 112 weighs a whopping 26lbs!! Not sure what fairy dust Pat Quilter is using, but he knows how to use it. Don't miss those other amps at all. Except as maybe a nostalgia thang.
