This reminds me of a blues guitar instructional video I once watched. In it, the instructor talks about "your tone" and where it comes from. Yes, the gear has a bearing (amp, guitar make and construction, strings, pickups, amp settings, etc.), but most of your tone comes from the hands of the player. I found this to be so true as I developed as a player. His point was when developing your "signature tone", put your effort into your playing rather than fixating on gear. So I agree with you that the quality of sound is mostly influenced by the player and not the instrument itself. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
