Jensen Jet Falcon JC12-50F Summary: The newest member, lowest-powered, and lowest-cost speaker in Jensen’s newest “Jet” line at 50 Watts, this speaker produces tons of happening tones right out of the box! Pros: Even before reading Jensen’s description of the Falcon, I found it to be a speaker that was built upon the substantial foundation [...]

Last night’s solo gig at the restaurant was really special for me. For one thing, I was REALLY feeling it, and had a great vibe going on all night. The diners were quite responsive and the entire atmosphere was festive. One our singing servers even commented on how the energy of the place was really [...]

Peterson StroboClipTM Clip-On Tuner Summary: A high-accuracy (0.1 cent) clip-on tuner! But it’s a Peterson Strobe tuner and that means tuning sweeteners. The StroboClip has several of Peterson’s sweeteners for different instruments, and these sweeteners ensure that your instrument(s) will sound great. Pros: To me, the Sweeteners are what set apart Peterson tuners from the [...]

Several months ago, while looking for a Les Paul, I once again got sidetracked by another guitar which I bought in its stead; the Gibson 2009 Limited Run Nighthawk. Back in 2009 Gibson release several guitars with limited production runs. The Nighthawk, which had a run of 350, was a revival of sorts of the [...]

As you may know, I recently purchased the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay, and wrote about how much I absolutely LOVE this pedal! While I can’t say enough about it, I anguished over getting it for a long time because of the price. At $335, it was so difficult to justify buying the pedal. But [...]

While I did a “mini review” of the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay a couple of months ago, that was in a shop in a controlled environment, and though I played it for almost an hour, there’s no better test of gear than using it at a gig where nothing is predictable. After I originally [...]

Slash: Underrated?

Posted in Guitars, tagged guitar, Music, Guitars, guitarists, musicians, slash on August 13, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Even though I dug GN’R music back in the day, I wasn’t a huge fan, mainly because of Axl Rose who really annoyed me with his well-known and well-publicized antics. While I appreciated Slash’s playing at the time, that annoyance with Axl unfortunately made me write him off. My bad. But lately, I’ve been revisiting [...]

New Gear: Peterson StroboClip

Posted in Guitars, tagged guitar, Guitars, guitar gear, gear, guitarists, GAS, gear announcements, peterson stroboclip on August 10, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Peterson is at it again. I did a review on the Peterson StroboRack awhile back, and loved the unit, though as a pedal guy, the rack didn’t make much sense in a gig situation. I’ve seen the StroboStomp in operation, and that’s a cool unit. Now, Peterson has just released the new StroboClip, which combines [...]

1987 ES-335 Custom Pictures!

Posted in Guitars on August 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »

I finally got a decent digital SLR camera – a Nikon D40 – last night. Surprised my son who’s studying digital media with a Nikon D90 and traded him cameras. What a difference a great camera a lens makes with respect to picture quality. For all these pictures, I used a special f1.8 50mm lens [...]
