His set up was old, but light.

No need to call him, I have all that info, and I'm editing it this month. You'll see it soon.

Sorry for not being clear...I wasn't asking about the gear he was on, that's well-known. I was just trying to point out that 'modern' gear is not necessarily the only way to go -- but your point is absolutely clear: his gear was fairly light.

The 'phone book' comment was related to his opinion on Fritschis & Dynafits. Did you get that one on tape (or ask him any similar question re: modern touring setups)?

Cool that he's still @ the 'King, eh?

Peace.

Well said.I'm actually kicking around a pair of F1s. Have a couple of demos I could use, figure I might as well be a switch hitter.
