Oh WOW! That has to feel pretty darn GREAT! Congratulations, and I am definitely jealous about that Crook (I already have the 'ray and the ES)!

Thanks very much! I love Crook Guitars, I've already got a Black Paisley Tele he's made for me. I am sooo hoping that this new equipment will help us bring our band to the next level!

I just got some amazing news yesterday. my band was approached and offered financial support from a private group a few months ago. they heard us play, and were suficiently impressed by out goals and determination (according to them). We were asked what equipment it would need for us to be ready to head into the studio and hit the stage. We wrote up a list of equipment that included (for me) a Crook Custom Guitars Strat, 2 Dr. Z amps (Stang Ray and Script ES), and a complete guitar rack setup. The representitive for this group called us last night and informed me that our eqiupment will arrive at my place in a little over 3 weeks! I am so excited to plug into these great amps!!!! Congrats. ;D That is a sweat deal with all the great gears.

Holy Crap! What a deal! Can I be in your band? Just for three weeks until my new Z's arrive and then I will happily resign and head home with my Z's. Just a thought.

Hi Jason, thanks for the welcome! I've been on here for a while, but havent posted that much. My band plays country - kind of a melting pot of sounds - think Paisley/Chesney/Keith Urban. There's other influences in there, but those three are the main ones. I wanted those two amps for that reason, BIG sound. I'm curious to see how they react with my MiniZ and Maz Jr. that I've already got. Should give us a wide range of sound, I think. When I have got some clips made through the new amps, I will be sure to upload them here for you guys to listen to. I'm pretty anxious to get your opinions and advice on what we've got going. Ten years playing guitar and performing, and I'm starting to make some progress toward my goals!! If you like, you can check out our myspace page - It's not much, but it's a start for us.... www.myspace.com/mudcountryLater Guys! ~T

You guys know how I feel about the Ray...on Wednesday I plugged a LP Standard into an RXES with overdose on, volume at 1:00 into a Mesa 2x12 closed back cab. Incredible Talk about rock tone!

okay, FINALLY! its all happening today. We have had some MAJOR issues with this company that we're working with. It's been almost two months since the equipment they bought for us arrived, and I'm just NOW getting to take posession of it today.
Here's what happened... Because of some personnel changes, they had to do a whole restructuring of their operation here in Fairbanks. It seemed like they were jerking us around, but I, the voice of optimism (haha!), said that we need to just wait and see what happens. The lady that is our contact arranged for us to see/get our equipment, but she had a death in the family, and subsequently had to go out of state for a few weeks. The woman that she named as her proxy, and who was supposed to show us our stuff, never contacted me.
My drummer called our contact and left a rude, and belligerent message on her phone. As a result, we almost lost this opportunity. But because I was optimistic and didnt lose my cool, they are now ONLY wanting to work with me. The drummer is NOT to be involved with them at any time for any reason. He really offended them. SO, he's getting his new drum toys, and is basically being sent packing. We don't need someone around that is going to lose his head when there's a setback.
Anyways, the contact lady is back now, and is back in the swing of things. Because things got so screwed up here, the number two guy in this company came up here to fairbanks to straighten things out. im meeting with him in an hour and a half.
Long story short, theres been alot of drama, and major mess ups happening, but im FINALLY getting my Stang Ray and RX ES today!!!
