Coyote's Build

Well, he can tell 'em this:

I missed my Laney at the studio today (and yesterday). Had to settle for a regular JCM800 & a JCM2000(TSL)...

And I'm a little worn out after 9 straight hours of playing... Breaks not included.

[GAR]

What Laney do you have?

[Coyote]

GH-series 50W head...

I could get the message to him faster probably...lol.

9 hour rehearsal? My fingers hurt for you..how long is the set you're learning?

[jhale667]

Aw, yeah!

[Coyote]

Allow me to clarify a bit... 9 hours of studiowork. New solos, re-doing some intros, doubletracking some riffs...

Rehearsal's only 2 hours max, and the set's around an hour and a half.

Aha!

OK, now I get it...lol.
That was me like, every time I opened Pro Tools for a minute there...got some stuff I like down and am about to hand it off for drummage...

Cool!

In completely unrelated news , my piles are playing up again!

More pictures to take to your paint guy...




OK, I am really starting to want one of these...damn you people..! :tongue0011:

I saw the Performance one today, apparently Warren DiMartini is signing the headstocks in Sharpie marker as a limited run because the guy still works on things for him.

The skins he uses are lightweight, surprisingly thin and warm-feeling. I liked it, thought I wouldn't.

I trust him well enough...



But I'd take those home with me.

[jhale667]

I swear, the more I look at that - except for that fucking fretboard mangle - LURVES it. Looks like they're going for recreating the Python one, much like you said you want to. Pretty kick-ass.




(Oh, and I got turned on to a semi-local [for me, anyway] dude who makes Charvel replica bodies in Alder, Ash, and a couple of other wood selections for less than $150...gonna check 'em out...)

[Coyote]

Which reminds me, I gotta call the guy...

Haven't heard word one from him for almost three weeks...

These things as one-off pieces take alot of time.. my best suggestion is:

1. Leave the guy alone, ample time is not enough - he's an artist you should be thankful to have been given the blessing of on your axe.

2. Offer to buy the guy lunch when you visit. Every time, or bring a beer. This always speeds things along.. cuz he'll think you're not a dick like everybody else who wants their shit yesterday but didn't pay for it.

3. Thank that guy a million times, and be thankful. Oh yeah, and when you talk to him on the phone? Say "thanks oh thanks" till it sounds silly. Make the guy laugh to think you're that happy to be getting something from him.

4. Follow up often.. my experience with these type artists is they like money in increments. Lacquer takes many applications: he'll spray a one clear coat a day for a week, then let it sit for a week while it's drying.

5. Once the art is done, like I say leave him alone about it but pay social visits "just to hang" for a sec. Artists like lots and lots of attention and they'll give it back into your piece when they think of you depending how you treat him.

WAIT a minute....

Who are you, and what have you done with GAR?
