Re: [Harp-L] Fender 59 Bassman Ltd reissue

I think we need a shorthand code for the usual lecture about gear not
producing tone.  We've all heard it a thousand times.  Maybe the people who
feel compelled to remind us about this could save some time and bandwidth by
just posting one word instead the whole lecture each time.  That one word
could be something like "DITTOS," which Rush Limbaugh's listeners use for
pretty much the same purpose; to take the place of an aphorism everybody
knows is coming but is so ubiquitous it has become tedious.

Every time anybody asks about gear he gets the same lecture.  But
look....  We all know how to play harp and we all know that we have to work
very hard to get good tone.  There is nothing wrong with aspiring to a great
player's tone when buying gear.

So, Tone Dittos to you all.  Gear does not give you good tone.  (And neither
does lecturing others about it.)
