That outro fuzz solo is wonderfully trashy tonewise!

Last year I had a choice of a 50% off relic'd CC or an H-150 for the same price. I like both of them but chose the Relic'd CC. it's kind of cool to have a new guitar that I don't have to worry bout dinging up.

Your collection is a good start! Welcome!

I think he was using Heritage Custom Shop 225s......

That's pretty cool. Like you, I love tube amps. I still play through them for the most part. However, I have done a couple of gigs on my Quad Cortex run through a Line 6 Powercab +. I hate to admit it but it is pretty damn good. While playing through tubes mostly, I have a back up system that I carry. I picked up one of those Carvin 100W stereo pedal amps a few years back. It seems similar to yours except this one is nothing but a power amp so I also carry a POD Express, so if amything goes wrong I have a complete amp and FX that fits in my hand. I actually had to use it at a gig once and it was a relief given that my recurring nightmare is one where I am on stage about to start and my amp isin't working. I fully accept that there my be a Freudian sexual interpretation to the dream about my equipment failing but I think it is about my amp.

I play more acoustic than anything lately. I still want to get into a loud rock band again before I die. I figure my ears are damaged enough so what the hell. There is a power in a lud amp that is cool. I can get a nice tone from a smaler amp or a modeler but still want them to be loud. Oops....totally hijacked a thread here.....

Says the guy who plays in a rock band......

Yeah, tone is in the fingers. I have a 1962 Casino with the 330 style headstock. It is a remarkable screaming rock guitar (ala' Beatles white album sound) guitar but I could never get a nice jazz tone out of it like I can with my L5 or H-576. The same goes for my old tele. If you listen to Canadian jazz guitarist Ed Bickert, he makes a tele sound like an L5. In my hands it sounds like Don Rich.

I am assuming that even though the tuner is covering the brand, it looks like an H-530. This guy gets a nice smooth tone on those P-90s.
