Gitfiddler Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 First of all, this was a totally unexpected purchase. Yes, I've been looking at it for months, drooling on my computer's keyboard every chance I got. Then today I got up the nerve to call for more details, specs and (gulp) best pricing. Maybe the planets were aligned just right for me, but we were able to work out a price. A GREAT price for this very beautiful H530, advertised as the very first one made. I thought Wolfe had the first one, but no matter. This one is on the way to Gitfiddle land!! H530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hey guys, thanks for the conga-rats. I don't usually make impulsive decisions, especially with gits, but this was too good of a deal to pass up. And yes, I did order a custom build H525 a few months ago. That custom built to my specs P90 gitfiddle has had me giddy as a little girl in anticipation !!!!! When Bird showed me Marv posing with it's freshly painted naked body, I almost lost it. Then here comes a deal on a 530! Crazy stuff, this GAS. The 530 was totally a spontaneous purchase for all of the right reasons...HERITAGE GEAR LUST! Eddies' prices are typically M.A.P. or very high, so I never even considered calling about this 530. They said they are having a Heritage clearance sale right now (hint, hint), and that baby is being shipped as I write. So...In celebration of the soon to be newest member of my Heritage Harem, I'm breaking out the Grant Green "Ain't It Funky Now" CD tonite, cracking open a Mexican beer, and jamming to "Sookie Sookie" (or Snookie Snookie!) When it arrives, I'll take her out for a honeymoon jam, snap a few pics and report back here. (I knows the rules) For now, here's a BIG shot of her from Eddies: H-530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always loved the 330,and the sound it produced.I bought loads of Grant Green on Blue Note through the '60's & '70's. I even bought a book about him,shown in the photo. It was published by Miller Freeman Books in the U.S.A.,ISBN 087930-556-8. Try Amazon if you're interested.It's a good read. Now,what amplifier's going to have the pleasure ?

Peter Alton Green Thanks, Peter. That book has been on my must buy list for about twoyears now. A while back I heard an interview with the author, Grant's daughter, I believe, and made me want to get the book as well as his tone ever since. Good reminder.

Gitfiddler Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 The big brown truck is dropping off a big brown box today! Starting to feel a bit sick, boss. Maybe I better leave the office now so I don't get anyone else sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
