I like it!

Very nice...and funky!
If I may ask...what was the guitar/amp combo?

Is that a backing track?

ALF nice playing. Really had a good groove going. What wah did you use? Nice backing track.
Well not that I'm counting but that makes at least 3 or 4 posts for you none for me this year. I am soo bad!

Thanks guys! Don't worry Al, you'll find some time!

This is kind of an odd setup, but I'm totally loving it! The amp is a VOX Pathfinder mini-stack. It's a regular Pathfinder 15R amp in head form, with a 4x8" cab with Celestion speakers. It rocks!

The guitar is my JV Strat, slightly modded. I did the 50s wiring mod, added a Warmoth reverse slant pickguard and hand-adjusted the magnet stagger on the Tex-Mex pickups. Total mods cost about $30

The wah is a new Dunlop Cry Baby Classic I got a couple months ago. The backing is a track I got from another forum.

Here's some pics of the major pieces

THAT'S SO FUNNY! I put a tortoise guard with a reverse slant on the bridge pup on my JV Strat!

Hahaha! Great minds and all that...

Mine's not quite tortise though, it's a bronze moto or something.

Yeah...they have 2 opf those cool moto patterns. I alsmost went with the samn guard you got, but I thought tortoise would look cool on black! I really like the different the reverse tilt bridge pickup makes...both tonally and just the looks of it. I want to put a reverse/lefty neck on it, but I just love the feel of the JV neck too much!

I've heard this backing before. You did an awesome clip, keep up these tunes!

Re: Well then, how about a little funk?

Thanks, presa!

I wanted to go the lefty neck but didn't, for the same reason. I love the feel of this neck too much!

I'd love to get my hands on that backing track. What a cool stack you have there, where'd you get it? Also, are you playing any particular scales on this track, it sounds pretty good??

Re: Well then, how about a little funk?

awesome!

yeah dude, would you be willing to post the backing?

Thanks guys!

I'll try to get the backing track, I didn't save it on my computer. Anyone have a site they could host it on? My website is full up at the moment.
