R.I.P. Crystal Joy Bassett

Post by Bill Bassett »

My lovely wife passed away gently and peacefully last night, at home with me at her side. It has been a long painful struggle but her grace and good humor saw her through.

"Tone is in the hands. Unless your wife will let you buy a new amp. Then it's definitely in that amp."

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.
