How Great is Cygnus...?

[Scented Meat]

There's a gaping hole where my Suhr SL-68 used to be:



It's actually liberating to be rid of my last remaining amplifier.

I got one more to sell. Only amp I have left is a Benson Vincent which is stellar.

Am I reading too much into your inclusion of the tissue box in your picture?
I recently sold off the last of my guitar amps too although I still have a bass and acoustic amp.

I wonder if Rush was playing the song Cygnus X-1 in that picture. Would be so poetic.

Warped minds think alike. But seriously, when I get home this evening I'm going to update to 16.02 and load the new banks. I loaded the first
bank A when they hit the Fractal streets and was quite blown away. So yes, a box of Kleenex nearby may be prudent But seriously, seriously, Cygnus is sooooooooooooooo good. Seriously.

Not a chance, though nothing would make my wife happier.

I have a few "desert island" amps that I will likely never sell, and one to finish building that I started in 2007, but absolutely no desire to get any new amps or build new ones. They are just not practical in my life any more. Pretty close to topped out on new guitars, too. Likely to only replace cheaper ones with nicer versions in the future, once past this year's birthday, unless something particularly interesting comes along that I don't have one of, like, say, a baritone or Bass VI....

Yeah, I've got one of those around, too.

Woke up out of a dream this morning that she wanted to move to Wisconsin, and that I had decided I didn't want to go with her.

Scented, nice autographed AT pic. Very nice guy, met at one of his shows.

Nope - that would have been Xanadu, the only song for which Alex played the Doubleneck!

My favorite active guitarist. Had tix to see him a couple years ago—had to eat them because of work emergency.

Ah indeed! So much for my poetic hope!

I thought he played the doubleneck on Trees as well? Or is this picture pre-Hemispheres?

I had read interviews with Alex Lifeson, where he lamented that nearly all of the photos published back then showed him playing the double-neck, and he only used it for that one song!
