Lee Trevino, in his hustling days, used to take money from country club players using a coke bottle with a broomstick stuck in it as his only club. I still go to jam sessions featuring top jazz guys and the kb players are using kb's and amps that none of us would have anything to do with, yet they sound great. I wonder sometimes why we are all knocking ourselves out over equipment variations (i include myself) instead of just getting the best bargain decent equipment that is easy to carry and set up, reasonably rugged if necessary, has enough volume (and bass for those that need it for dance music etc) and then just use it til it breaks.

The benefits will be the same for both, but it still won’t change the fact that the Great player will always sound better then a passable player.

sorry, man this wine is good

hey guys, stop drinking, you're distracting from my Lee Trevino story...Lee will be pissed. LOL......Mo

okay then, don't forget to share (HIC%) 'specially if it's that good

No matter how good the player/instrument is you can make him/her/it sound bad with a bad enough instrument/player.

Basically, if goodness is ranked from 0 to 10 and represented on paper (X-Y plane) anybody would agree bottom left (0,0) is horrible and upper right (10,10) is wonderful. Here we are comparing the two points (0,10) and (10,0) or some such both of which I think would not be enjoyable. There's a lot of gray area in between.

I would most probably like the gray are: If the instrument is somewhat bad, compensate it with a good player and vice versa. But I don't think Eric Clapton would sound any good on a broom stick with twine.

Ive been to Lee Travino's house in Alcapulco mexico ....but thats another story

but he would sound a lot better than me, if he had the cheapest guitar made and i had the best. (even tho i played a mean ukelele when i was 9 yrs old). and if a broomstick with twine made a sound similar to a guitar, he would still sound better than me. Lee Trevino couldn't play on the pga tour with the coke bottle, but he could whip a mediocre golfer.
