I did want to thank those who gave very good, positive and constructive responses here and who's post's remain, (one in the same).

I guess I just thought that everyone here knew me well enough to know that I was totally aware of the players influence on this sound in the first place and so I was much more interested in the actual question I posed.

I will admit I was totally insulted primarily by the poster who's post was deleted, as my playing ability was being questioned and I felt like I was being talked to like I just fell off the turnip truck.

I usually won't respond directly to that type of thing believing those posts are always taken care of for the better, one way or the other with a little time. This is not an exception.
