I wasn't referring to Nokie, I was just being metaphorical about the way stars can influence a person's choice. Regarding the Hagstrom's, I would put them in...
I became a Venture's fanatic after hearing the In Space album and bought every album that came out after that. In between a new Venture's album coming out I...
The thin Mosrite neck also suited the smaller Japanese hand which along with the Venture's popularity made the Mosrite an instant hit. Ian ... From: Marty...
You said it Kanad - Mosrite rules. Although to be fair as I have said in my earlier posts I think they they have the knowledge and talent to get that sound out...
You are right Bruce I can't speak for everyone especially baby boomers like ourselves with enough disposable income to indulge ourselves whenever we can. But...
Thats right Rich - I wanted a Mosrite because our guys played them. It took me 40 years to get my hands on one and even at that its a Japanese copy. I have a...
I knew you were being metaphorical, Rich, and I wanted to point out that the metaphor would apply to the influence of Nokie as well. -Marty ... From: Richard...
I'm not sure that's true, Ian, about smaller hands being a significant factor in the sale of Mosrites in Japan. I do have to concede that the Mosrite is still...
Ian, Those early tunes the Ventures played before the Mosrite years were pretty much dated before they even recorded them. Yeah, there were a few tunes like...
Thanks for posting that recollection, Ian. I think you are absolutely correct that the Ventures could not have continued their decidedly tamer Fender years...
Marty said, "Mosely did his early guitars for Joe Maphis and I'm guessing it was Joe Maphis's influence that motivated Semie to make that thin neck." I thought...
That no make-um sence, Brian. We very definitely have to equate a measure of excellence to a product that sells as consistantly well as the Fenders and...
I love both those albums, but then I love Larry Welk, Billy Vaughan etc...The interesting story from Del's book is that Josie selected tracks for the Telstar...
Yes, that Rick is indeed a thin neck. I played one for a few years and found myself using my brother's strat more and more often. We'll then I think that...
Maybe some of our Japanese friends will comment on the suitability of the MOsrite neck and action on the Japanese market. Ian ... From: Marty Tippens To:...
I can see where you are coming from Marty but in my opinion the Venture's Mosrite sound was so far ahead of its time it can still compete even today so in my...
Hi Ffolks and wonderfull peoples here. 1 mounth had passed since my Gleason prostate surgery and I am phycicly speaking doing very well now. I have to see my...
Marty Your comments are interesting. Yet examples of high priced articles of doubtful quality do exist. They may have sold well too. So it is unwise to equate...
Ian: Of course they can get that sound out of anything remotely playable - I don't think that was in question. I was commenting only about how the Mosrite...
I fully agree with you Kanad that the Mosrite sound certainly stood out. I don't think we are alone in that opinion as their popularity in Japan greatly...
Yeah Michel think positively and don't let things get you down. Theres loads of Ventures stuff for you to play and enjoy. Take care Ian ... From: Brian Jones ...

Here the fresh new mix. Just compare this one with the old mixes. The lead was redone with the Strat and using the middle pick-up set up only. Thats prove you...
Michel, Hang in there and don't let her get you down. There will be more girl friends on the way in no time. Tom ... From: undergroundfire2@yahoogroups.com ...
Michel, I'm very sorry to hear that Louise left you at this delicate time. But remember that your health and well-being are the most important things right...
The Edsel is the Ford you are thinking of, Brian, but doesn't fit in this discussion because it didn't sell well. Cars that fit in the lemon category do not...
