That sounds about right.

Why not? They make a great Weir guitar and how are they different than his Modulus ones?

Very similar concepts....

just speculation, but it would seem to me with furthur tour about to start that most of his standard gear is on its way to Miami.

It would not surprise me for a gig like Jamaica that the backline is almost all rentals and that with the gear going to furthur; he got liberal with his guitar selection as well......

I should actually look at some jamiaca shots instead of just speculating, but what fun is that?

I hoped for the same thing but he had his blue modulus hollowbody thing, an 11rack and 2 voxes there too. Scaled back, but it's his regular stuff.

That is definitely a pimped out Fly or dare I say custom Fly.

The knob configurations are unlike any Fly I have seen and he has mini toggles.

Strangely he doesn't appear to be using the vibrato bar.

Not at the moment but I think I see it there.

I've always wondered why he never used a Parker Fly... seems like a natural fit for him.

Well I brightened up the photo and it appears that there is some kind of control panel or maybe is either a bar and weird shadows.

Why I thought NOT a bar is becuase they are not very long and have foam tips which I don't see in the photos.

As to why not - Parkers are fun to play and very versatile and light but they lack some serious mojo for clean plays

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.



Betcha didn't know Bobby was in a Movie with Opie (on the right):


Oh Man, Saw "The Spikes Gang " last night.
I'm guessing Bobby is also a Lee Marvin fan.

Hey look it's the IRS accountant from the "Untouchables" in the middle.

Bobby has a couple nicknames among the ratdog band and crew

one is
"Buffalo Cody"

the other is
"Chief"

Hence the cigar store indian that you see on stage sometimes

All I can say is that I would have rather been on the beach there than at work.

One thing is troubling though.....

I thought Bobby wears the shorts in that band.....
