I'm not sure about Jeff Beck, but both Clapton and Mick Taylor came up through John Mayall's Blues Breakers, along with a lot of other great musicians before and since. Mayall belted out a lot of British Blues and developed an awful lot of musicians who would go on to be famous in their own rights. Saw Mayall about ten years ago at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. He's gotta be up in his seventies by now, but ten years ago he was still looking strong enough to wear a tank top in public and he sounded just great. _______________________________ About 3-yrs. ago, my wife and I went to see Mick Taylor. I thought I'd stepped-back in time! He looked great. Very youthful looks and played guitar lincredibly. He did all his own stuff. I recall, the 'Super' groups and the music they made. Dayuuum! I really appreciate your 'jogging' my memory. Chuck

I was noticing that Clapton and Jack Bruce were both free to walk around with chordless guitar and bass, something they never could've done back in the sixties. I'm sure the sound system was way better than anything they could've dreamed of back then either. But there were still no frills; it was just one guitar, one bass, one gorgeous set of drums (Ginger Baker was one of the first drummers to use two bass drums), and their still strong voices. What absolute joy ! ____________________________________ Yeah! A couple of amps and away they went! Technology has sure come a long way. Chuck

I believe that was Jeff Beck. Clapton left the Yardbirds after "For Your Love." Beck introduced the fuzz pedal because the sitar player (a session guy) couldn't keep up with the band, so he used the fuzz pedal to emulate an Indian sound. On another note, I saw a bunch of the Cream show last night. I guess I had expected more, but stil thought it was pretty good. I really was waiting for "Badge" and thought it a pretty good version of. Back then all three were the "Cream" of the music crop. I especially liked Ginger. He was smiling, something I never saw him do before. __________________________________ It was definately Eric Clapton and you jarred my memory! Clapton borrowed the 'fuzz-tone' from Beck and you are right about the song... 'For Your Love'. Thanks! Also, both Beck and Clapton were considered for The Rolling Stones, after Brian Jones died. Due to commitments at the time they both turned The Stones down. They chose Mick Taylor and later, Ron Wood. Chuck

Isn't there also something in the USPA regs with the USA-TSO rigs and european rigs and stuff, if the person is non-US resident and jumps his foreign gear, the rules of the originating country apply ?? From 01Jan06 Switzerland will be applying manufacturer recommendations, in my case 1 year on my Atom/Techno and 1 year on my Talon/PD-R In any case, before travelling, the best to do is to have a fresh repack before going... _________________________________ I think, you just nailed it!

There is an old video of Eric Clapton with the Yardbirds. They were doing 'Heart Full of Soul'. Eric had borrowed a 'fuzz-tone' pedal from another guitarist for the song. As you watch the video, Eric is to the right of the picture. When the part comes for the 'fuzz-tone', Eric has to run to the left (his right) to tap the 'fuzz-tone' with his foot. They didn't have a longer cord! You are soooo right! There was some damned good music from that era. Chuck

I really like your avatar! My wife does stuff like that with my horse at Christmas and Easter (bunny ears) it really chaps my butt! He's a boy horse, dang it! Hee, hee! Chuck

I agree! I was just posing a question. It appears, the bottom line is the difference in recognition of 120-days or 180-days. If, the rig comes to this country from a foreign country with 29-days left on a 180-day cycle it's 'out of date', here. It's the old story of 'turf'. If, I'm on your turf... I play by your rules and if, you're on my turf... my rules. Make sense? Chuck

masterrig replied to RIGGER's topic in Gear and Rigging
The way I feel about it, for what it's worth. If, the manufacturer's instructions say 'must' do something... I do it. When the manufacturer's instructions say 'should' do something, I just go ahead and do it. Simply because, the manufacturer probably has a good reason for having something done even though they didn't say 'must'. Many of the 'should' do things have just become part of my repetoire. So far, I haven't seen any ill effects from my practices. Also, for manufacturer's to go-back and re-write instructions and get them printed and distributed to riggers can be rather costly. I've been of the understanding that, they don't really mind when riggers call and ask questions. JMO Chuck -
The 2" bridle is also thinner than type IV, I think. _____________________________________ Yes, sir. The 2" is thinner than Type - 4. Not by much, though. Chuck

Some of the manufacturer's give them away at the Symposium. I'll bet, if, you contacted one of the harness-container mfgr's, they'd hook you up. Chuck
