May you have many blessings. Well I finally did it! I went out and bought a Parker Concert Fly Guitar (weighing in at 2.2 lbs). I have the GK-2A already mounted into it and I am in love with a blonde light weight. I am having to sell off one of my other collectors pieces (a American Standard Telecaster), but I will live. This thing is so far out, I can't believe I waited this long to do it. While I was at the music store picking uo the guitar I tried out a new Roland product called VGA-7 V-Guitar Amplifier. Below is a excerpt from the Roland website. The thing retails for $1,695.00 (kind of pricey). I liked it ok, but I still think the VG-8 is the best in this series so far. The VG-88 is not happening at all imo, I think mainly because Roland lost Gary White to Yamaha and he was the one that did all of the fantastic programming on the original VG-8 and he also was the one that worked with Joni on programming hers. I'll say one thing, the amp is REAL heavy, so if you don't have roadies on your payroll you amy what to stick with a VG-8 and a light weight Parker Guitar (OM MY GAWD!!!!!! I HAVE ONE!) The new VGA-7 V-Guitar Amplifier presents guitarists with the most powerful and complete guitar modeling technology in history. This easy-to-use technological marvel serves up a wide range of COSM-based modern and vintage amp sounds, onboard effects, and speaker cabinet simulations, plus models of different electric and acoustic guitar types, pickup types, and tunings using any steel-string electric or acoustic guitar and an optional GK-2A Divided Pickup. Features * Digital modeling guitar amplifier with analog-style controls for superb ease-of-use * 20 distinct COSM amp models including vintage and modern tube amps, solid state and acoustic instrument amps, plus speaker cabinet simulations * Gain, Volume, 3-band EQ and Presence controls customized for each amp model * COSM Guitar Modeling simulates 26 guitar types‹electric, acoustic, hollow-body, and łguitar-meets-synth˛‹using any steel-string electric or acoustic guitar* * Pickup type and position simulations with pickup blending capabilities* * Instant open tunings, Nashville, and user-defined tunings, 12-string guitars* * 4 independent effects processors with 15 distinct Roland/BOSS effects algorithms * 80 preset memories plus 80 user memories with extensive foot control options * GK-Ready 13-pin input plus standard 1/4˛ guitar input for direct access to amp/speaker cabinet modeling sections * 65W + 65W/ 2x12˛ stereo configuration *Requires optional GK-2A Divided Pickup. Sorry to everyone that could give a shit about the new technology, but I know some of you out there might make the jump ( Hi Marian and Kate), till the lights go out for good I am going to enjoy it. I am just full of news tonight! Someone turned me on to a guy by the name of Kevin Gilbert (who is no longer with us) an incredible musician and you can check his stuff online at www.kevingilbert.com If you like rock music you will probably see why there is a buzz about this guy even in death. I got the Volume 11 Covers and Contributions series to day and have already enjoyed it this afternoon. Thanks so much Bob for your continued efforts. That's all for now! Have a great weekend everybody whereever you are.
