	Opinion only:

	Of the strats that I have played, my very favorite was a USA 
Clapton Strat. The one that came in second was a $300 Mexican.

	Certainly it will vary from guitar to guitar, and I would base
my decision on what the instrument looks like, sounds like, how good it feels, 
and how well I think it will sound and play after I set it up. I wouldn't
base a serious purchase decision on where it came from.
 It's hard to generalize past that, because I have played other Clapton strats
that have just SUCKED.

	Making generalizations anyway, though, I am shocked about how
consistently I have liked the Mexican Strats.

This discussion has been running around for quite a while now. Peavey seems

that the Bravo and Classic amps rival or surpass similar Fenders and even
Boogies (and approach Dumbles?). And cheaply, too. What gives? Is there

Does anyone know anything about the Fostex X-18 4 track recorder.  It costs
about $349 which is about as high as I can go for a 4 track.  It has four
inputs which is more than I really need because I won't be recording live drums
(I have a stereo drum machine).  It doesn't have the fast speed recording but
you hasve to spend about another $150 to get that.

	Also my drum machine has MIDI sync in but no out.  the X-18 is MIDI
compatible which means you can record a sync track which will then control MIDI
devices.  My drum machine has no out so I can't "stripe" the tape with it.  Can
I use another MIDI device like a sequencer to "stripe" tapes for me and then
put them in the X-18 and have them control my drum machine.  This would allow
me to get first generation stereo drums on the recording when I mix-down.

You might want to take a look in alt.guitar.bass - there's been a thread about
ART equipment running there for quite a while.  The consensus isn't good-
many of the people I talked to had horror stories about ART's customer service.
Apparently, their equipment is plagued by bad workmanship, and their service
leaves much to be desired.  I ordered an ART Nightbass (the low freq version)
from Musician's Friend and am still waiting for it.  If it doesn't completely
amaze me, it's going back in the box for a refund - the stakes are a little
too high for me to gamble several months of pay on a product of questionable
reliability.

But don't let that put you off!  :-)

A friend of mine told me he is incredible in concert.
I will say this from what I've heard, he is pretty
diverse.  I've heard him play really mellow acoustic
stuff and heard him play nice somewhat jazzy tunes
as well as the more pop sounding variety.  One thing

	Do not but the FINGERPICKING BACH book.  Most of the songs are only
sections of pieces.  His version of "Jesu" leaves out alot. 

	If you want a pretty good arrangement, try Willis music company.
David Dolata transcribed "Jesu" for them.  This version is pretty simple and
true to the spirit of the original in Bach's Cantata 148.  The best thing is
that it is not included in a book, so it only costs about $3.00 (i.e. you
don't have to buy other music which you're not interested in.)  You shouldn't
have any trouble finding the piece.  It is very common.  If you like though I
could give you the address of Willis music so you can order it directly.

For blues, you want to play "cross" harp.

Use a "C" harp for key of G blues, "A" harp for key of "E" blues, etc.

I believe these are major scales.

I really like Lee Oskar harmonicas. The other standard brand is
Hohner blues harps, which are OK too. Lee Oskars seem to be sturdier
than Hohners, and are easily disassembled for repair. They also
sell replacement parts.

Hope this helps.

No offense intended toward the poster, but I'm getting a little tired of
seeing this same question asked on this list every four days or so, as well
as the correct, goofy, confusing or creative answers.  I would be happy to
write up a complete answer for an FAQ if someone will take care of

a newsgroup called alt.guitar.fender.stratocaster.models.

(The other "no offense intended" non-answer is, "Screw it, haven't we had

Might work better to drill out a slightly larger hole, and use a dowel the
