Billy Interview with Fender - Page 2

Caine Walker · 07-02-2008, 05:24 PM

ever since my strat was stolen, i'm incomplete.

i want, no, i need another one REAL bad.

skipgo · 07-02-2008, 05:31 PM

someone stole your strat too? it's probably the same guy who stole billy's. The Chicago Strat Bandit.

Caine Walker · 07-02-2008, 05:35 PM

i'ma fuck'im up!

SlingeroGuitaro · 07-02-2008, 05:38 PM

build a guitar yourself- its way more fun, cheaper and better quality, too

warmoth.com

skipgo · 07-02-2008, 05:40 PM

i think that would probably be fun.
i want to build my own pedals.

SlingeroGuitaro · 07-02-2008, 05:43 PM

ive never built a pedal from scratch but i've made mods to some of them. its fun but way too frustrating to me.

mistle · 07-02-2008, 06:31 PM

i know this is dumb. i'm sure it's a great instrument, but simply because it's billy's i don't want it

that sounds fun. If i tried to build any instrument i would defiantly fuck it up.. a pedal sounds like the perfect little project for an electronics dork like myself. Never really thought about doing that before... huh.

i just wasted about 3 hours on that website.

i have the most bad ass guitar in my head right now.

SlingeroGuitaro · 07-03-2008, 01:08 AM

sucks doesnt it

Thaniel Buckner · 07-03-2008, 01:23 AM

the guitar i have in my head?

i've always hated pick guards, so away with that shit. those rear routed body styles look slick. though i know little about wood types. i imagine a heavier wood would tend to suck out some good overtones.

SlingeroGuitaro · 07-03-2008, 01:29 AM

im drooling over a walnut jaguar design with a wax finish right now.

the main thing with woods to remember is: heavier, more dense woods will be brighter and tighter. lighter, less dense woods will be spongier and darker sounding. not quite as much sustain

Thaniel Buckner · 07-03-2008, 01:44 AM

that's good to know then. i was thinking of a baritone scale strat with a rosewood body. i think that'd go well with a standard lace sensor setup too.

fluxequalsrad · 07-03-2008, 01:50 AM

“Yeah, I want to play a Stratocaster.” I just got one, and when I played it, it suddenly brought alive what I was looking for in music.

he got paid $2000 for that line alone.

Thaniel Buckner · 07-03-2008, 01:52 AM

he's spoken similarly about the strat in a guitar world column from 15 years ago. it's in the beginning of that mellon collie tab book.

I'm a little confused, Billy, because you told Uli Jon Roth on TV that you don't want the Strat sound out of a Strat.

Duh, he wasn't trying to sell you anything then

skipgo · 07-03-2008, 09:34 AM

srsly

Kahlo · 07-03-2008, 09:38 AM

I heard he recieved a bribe from glass bottle companies before that programme.

Apparently sales of plastic bottled water in Germany have not changed drastically

SlingeroGuitaro · 07-03-2008, 09:41 AM

billy loses another battle

skipgo · 07-03-2008, 09:56 AM

but the war is not over my friend.

(i have no idea what i'm talking about of course)

Kahlo · 07-03-2008, 10:05 AM

Naturally you are a womans

skipgo · 07-03-2008, 10:06 AM

naturally. this also means i can't drive or throw, and i scream like a girl.

Kahlo · 07-03-2008, 10:11 AM

Hey I don't make the rules. Next you will be telling me you like shoes and handbags, and have reproduced.

blame your Jesus. He made you this way.

skipgo · 07-03-2008, 10:19 AM

well i can do without the handbags, but shoes are to die for. ahhh....
i also have pink nails at the moment, and i pluck my eyebrows.

but at least i will ask for directions kahlo. AT LEAST.

Kahlo · 07-03-2008, 10:25 AM
