| Sounds like a great deal!!!
Wish you a lot of luck with this set up. I just bought a Les Paul
myself and am playing the sh*t out of it every night.

| 485.2 | Which Strat??? | CCYLON::ANDERSON | | Thu Jan 28 1988 17:28 | 2 |
| is that a Japanese or American Strat???
|
| 485.3 | STRAT and SESSION (good choice)! | THEBAY::RYAN | | Thu Jan 28 1988 21:49 | 10 |
| I recently purchased a sunburst/rosewood neck American Standard Strat
that I use with the SESSION 70/90 1*12 and the sound is killer.
I have been sitting in with country bands (a new experience for
and english man in California.) and a lot of the guitarists have
Strats and Boogies and they are really impressed with the Session.
There is not really a lot of difference sound wise.
Have fun and enjoy your new setup.
Joe.

| 485.4 | It's Made In Japan | SPYDER::DSM | Nigel Barker | Mon Feb 01 1988 12:54 | 20 |
| It's a Jap Strat with a single Humbucker. It plays beautifully with a
very light action Its got a good sound although perhaps not a typical
Strat sound to rectify this I am considering putting a couple of single
coil pickups in it in the near future. As this will require me to rout
the body to take them I may actually get someone who knows what they're
doing to undertake the work.
The amp is great, loud for a 30 watt with a very nice 'cranked-up valve
amp' overdrive sound. There are two channels with independent pre-amp
circuits so for practice two guitars can be plugged in without any
interaction between the two. This is claimed as a unique feature by the
manufacturers. One channel is overdrive (adjustable)and one channel is
clean/overdrive selectable via the footswitch. Reverb is nice with very
good depth of echo.
You may gather from all this that I'm pretty chuffed (translation
to American English available on request), and you'd be right. I
wish now that I'd got one years ago.

| Sounds like you got a great deal. I just bought a Marlin Sidewinder
Strat 'Lookalike' cos I couldn't afford the real thing. Played the
first gig with it last week and I'm pretty happy. Maybe next time
I'm down in the Thames valley area for a course or something we
could get together.

P.S. Anyone else in the UK out there. Most of these noters seem
to be the other side of the water.

| 485.6 | American strat | CCYLON::ANDERSON | | Mon Feb 01 1988 21:18 | 7 |
| American strats available here for $400. Aparently they were made
in the original fender factory to original Fender specs. And they
come stock off the shelf sounding just like te old ones. I was truly
impressed.

| Re: .4
How soon history repeats itself....
Until a few years ago, multi-channel amps were the standard, so
you could plug in more than one instrument. Like those old Fender
Deluxes with two guitars, a bass and a mike all plugged in to one
amp, ah, frat party nostalgia.... 8^) 8^)
Then when MESA got the entire world addicted to single input amps
with channel switching, the "true" multi-channel amps died out.
Now Session is calling that a feature ?????
Does that mean tremelo will be coming back too ?????
8^) 8^) 8^) 8^) 8^)

| re: tremelo you mean that old amplitude modulation technique that
was made famous by such folks as the ventures? I hope not!

| 485.10 | Long before "Stairway" and "Eruption" there was... | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | Dave | Tue Feb 02 1988 17:57 | 10 |
| Sigh,
Ever since I got my Boogie (and my $20 Tremulux died) I have been
unable to perform "Crimson and Clover". Probably one of the oldest
pieces in the db guitar 'repertoire'.

p.s. For the benefit of you youngsters, I am referring to the Tommy
James & the Shondell's version, *NOT* the Joan Jett version.

| 485.11 | Oh yes, I remember... | WLDWST::JENSEN | | Tue Feb 02 1988 18:05 | 2 |
| That was a hot song in it's time.

| re: Joan Jett, she opeened for Deep Purple when I saw them last
fall....of course she "did" Crimsom and Clover......blecch!
She's damn lucky she ever made any money at all...
