Used the Prospect again

Okay, I'm posting about the Prospect, yet again. Thing is, I really like this guitar! It just does it for me. Plus, it's a darned good looking git. So, here we go one more time. I sat in as the lead player for these guys Saturday nite. Hadn't played with them for 2 months, but it all came right back.

 

This is The Longhorn Band.

Playing the Prospect.

Another angle for the band.

And a couple more of the Prospect. Pay no attention to the man behind the guitar.

You're right , that is one nice looking axe ! I can see a day when I "must have" a 535/555/Prospect, and these pics and your comments make the Prospect look like a good choice. Then again , I've seen examples of any of the three that are tempting.... NICE GUITAR>>> looks like you had a good gig....

It does look like he's staring me down, doesn't it? Thing is (and I found this to be quite funny), he was looking to me for the correct chord. :lol: Sitting in again in 2 weeks. Smokey dive about 40 minutes from here. And the Prospect will be the axe of the day, once again. :mad_mini:

Right now I'm imagining a custom Prospect, P90 Soapbars, or even HB-sized (for swapping later). Decked out to match the NFH. Mmmmm.

Ah, Kenny, you will use any excuse to just post pics of your guitar (especially the Prospect lately). :lol:

 

Oh yea, so what type of music do you guys play? Like nu-metal or alternative?

 

Can't tell what type from the lead singer/bassist?!!!! :mad_mini:

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, cool pics!!

It's Death Metal Country!! Couldn't you tell from my set at the picnic? B) Ya know, Merle, Johnny, those guys. And pics? Well, just following your lead there Big Bear :mad_mini:

 

Barry, Vox AC30CC1 w/NeoDog spkr. Very chimey and very heavy. It's actually better with the Fenders and G&Ls than the H's. Well, easier to dial in. But once you get it, any guitar just sings thru these thangs!

Yeah. I have an AC50CP2 which is NOTHING like the AC30. I love it for what I do with the Heritage. :violent4: Goes from fat and flat jazz sound to nice and gnarly high gain. :violent1:

Nice pics - love the gig pics and stories.

 

First pic - ya know you're getting old when the whole band is wearing hearing aids... :violent4:

2nd pic - my fav - you're 'into the note' and someone round here might say. I'll be danged if I can figure what chord you're playing?

3rd pic - best view of that cool Vox... and best example of why I don't shop at the drummer and 2nd guit shirt store.

4th pic - Mark IV bass amp?... and you forgot your mic stand drinky thing. Where the heck didja put the long neck?

Last - standard country turn around lick in C? Another good 'in the moment' shot.

 

Like the idea of a P90 Prospect...

I like the fact the bass player is also vocalist. Tough job.

 

The earpieces may be floor monitors--that's the way to go IMO.

 

I made a play for a Prospect just before sugery on ebay, a natural that looked like a real winner. Didn't want to pay what it eventually went for, which was about $1070 IIRC.

 

I can see myself with one of those.

 

Nice views.

Can't tell if his index is fretting a note or not. My guess is.... A6 with no 5.

 

 

Brooks and Dunn, Neon Moon, solo, slide from the G to a Bb, forefinger just hasn't hit the board yet. ... I think.

Give him time. :lol:

 

those are great shots Kenny!!! and a very nice Heritage!!!

 

 

LOL...i do like the concept of a smaller body though. I have never played one...had Pauls in my possession for a while, but it was left handed...maybe i should have re-stung it JIMI STYLE?

I had mine out today also ... the Prospect that is ! They certainly do pack a punch for such a small guitar, I find myself playing it more than the 535 lately, maybe it's the Seths or that it's very comfortable to play ?

 

Thankfully it was spared a "Jimi" ! :lol:
