Except for mine, that was there. Obviously my rig was too quiet, and no-one noticed.

You talking about the strats? Yours had the reverse headstock, so I didn't think that counted.
"Vince, have you ever tried playing an expensive bass?" - Polarbear.
"And isn't that the finest acoustic bass guitar feedback solo you've ever heard?" - Billy Moose.

That sounds incredibly uncomfortable.
Or perhaps, awesomely unimpressive.

I had a tele before it was cool [/hipsterdruz]
was actually pretty pissed off a few years back when all the trendy kids started playing teles, next it'll be firebirds.

Looks like an awesome gearfest, so jealous of you all.
