Always loved these-Feliciano used them; not the model I have, though. Used the old one for a brunch at a horse farm a week ago. R.

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7285 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	Actually, I have a set of pre 1962 Slingerlands. I brought them back from LA in 1964. Never played drums again. My grandson is a drummer and wants to go to where they're stored to check them out. Slingerland stopped manufacturing in the 70's as I remember, but are back in business selling an imported line. Great gold sparkle. R.

--Mac Member Registered: 05/16/08 Posts: 307 Loc: Chesapeake, Virginia, USA	Hey Russ-- The inside of your truck looks a lot like it might be mine grin. Add a Hohner Clavinet and change that amp to a Music Man HD410 and we're pret' near identical. Yup, '59 Strat here also, although it now tends to stay at home in the safe and one of the jap strats goes to gigs - most of the time. "Old" is in the mind of the beholder, I guess. Hell, I bought a lot of this junk when it was new. Just tryin' ta get mah money's worth outta the darn things, I guess. --Mac [This message has been edited by --Mac (edited 06-26-2010).] _________________________ "Keep listening.
