Default This is new territory, I've found what works best....
Tennis: After millions of racquets and string combinations...the Babolat Pure Drives and Pro Hurricane string combo are a perfect fit for me. No interest in anything else anymore. Totally satisfied



Acoustic: After lots of years of searching, the HD28 tone just melts me. Totally satisfied.



Electric: had Marshall stacks, Mesa Recto's, EVH 5150III, never thought I'd end up with a Hot Rod Deluxe. But the Silver Bullet has deep thick muscular cleans and the Bogner pedals are a perfect match for massive saturated hi gain tone. It sounds like my friends Bogner Shiva...at a third of the price.


Really strange for me to be so content in these 3 areas!

Babolat Pure Drives sound a bit too bright to my ears. To each his own.

So what electric goes through the Fender to work best for you? What is that, a single 12"? Looks great!

I find it very irritating that I am contented with what I've got. It's really ticking me off. I'm looking at the classifieds now to fix this.....but nothing works. Crap. How long can this go on????
