bolero Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 well, I missed out on mgoetting's 550 and was pretty bummed...I couldn't get the funds together in time (glad it found a good home here with someone else though) late last week I went to the local Heritage dealer ( Mojo Music in Oakville ) to get some strings & stuff with a buddy, and what do I see on the wall? a big beautiful Heritage hollowbody with humbuckers, and a stoptailpiece...on consignment I wasn't about to let this one get away ( been looking for one for a while ) so I made an offer & it was accepted; put a modest downpayment on it & then yesterday when the $$ came in I went and picked it up finally had time today to plug it in.....with a cranked 20w tube amp loaded with a celestion blue, it sure gives up the goods...I dig it!! I'll have to get some pics up, it's a sweet gtr and if the guy who sold it is on the forum, I'd like to say THANKS.....kudos to Mojo Music as well, Peter is a great guy & has some very nice gear in his shop -->back to jamming....

bolero Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 hey, great reference...it's a dead ringer for the one in that pic! looks identical...I'll get my GF to snap a pic on the w/end, she's into cameras more than I am stuck a mic in front of my AC30, here's some generic blues riffs I was goofing around with http://www.vf.hostzi.com/test/576_clipcut.mp3 funny I was expecting a honkier sound than a 535/335, but it's actually more open sounding & not as compressed; the body is 3" thick I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoslate Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Welcome to an exclusive little sub-group, bolero! I have a '90 natural 576, with Duncan Phat Cats. A very versatile box. It plays out, often. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
