Six Months Later...

[Charlie Brown]

Here's a short review of my first six months battling the beast

I've barely touched my guitars for the past 6 months, playing PS is a blast, very time consuming but I get a big smile when I learn a new lick. I've gone through loads of vids on youtube, Howcast PS vids are amazing and I spend hours listening to the PS parts on Buck Owens stuff (my favourite).

Now for the bad stuff:

I hate tuning the pedal and knee levers.
It's a heavy momma, almost 40 kg in its case...
I don't like the sound of the George Ls through my tube amps... my Roland sounds good but I'm going to check out one of the new 80w Cubes, I read they're ok-ish for guitar and great for PS.
Not a user-friendly / plug&play instrument for those of us who like to jam on the sofa unplugged, he he. My ankles hurt if I play with shoes that don't have a thick sole!
I want a double neck... and a lighter PS to carry around

Pics and vids soon

In all fairness, once the pedals and levers are tuned you shouldn't need to alter them unless you use different guage strings than last time.
As for the pickup I was never a fan of George Ls. I fitted a bill Lawrence 705 to mine and love it. Give that a try.
Shoes? I use canvas deck shoes. Give great feedback through the pedal. More feedback means more control. I think. Especially if you're half pedaling for example.
And I play a Roland 80 XL cube. Recommended.
