When life gives you lemons...

That's the spirit!!

My uncle was telling me how he broke his arm and a finger or two as a teen and he was bummed out because he could only fret with one finger, but then the first VH album came out and once he learned what fingertapping was from a buddy, "I didn't give a FUCK that I couldn't use all my fingers, I had one I could use and a working right hand, that's all I cared about that summer!"

I believe good people tend to heal a little faster, so you'll be good to go in no time!

So, what did you "buy?" Inquiring minds and all that.

Well one of the recent purchases was a Soldano X88-IR

So @hemmelight and myself have had an X88-IR for about 6 weeks now.

On the whole I've been enjoying it, but it was primarily bought for @hemmelight's high gain entertainment since I don't do high gain myself, so I'd never use the overdrive channel (which sounds fantastic, BTW). I've always had an appreciation for high gain sounds - especially lead, but it's just not in my personal style or skillset.

Anyway, I figured that I'd probably just use the clean channel at EOB and a little beyond anyway, and I do.

What surprised me though was the crunch...

Was that X88 post typed manually? Pretty long post for having the hand in a cast.

Haha.

I've got 2 weeks off work, so I have a LOT of time to write stuff down.
Also, my hand is now out of the cast and in a thermoplastic splint; so I've got a little more movement in my index and middle finger.
