My first electric guitar had four, but they were so weak I couldn't generate feedback even if I stuck the guitar inside the speaker box. But not in the film. Here's a much better url than tsuwm's for explaining what the hell this thread is all about ... http://www.popmatters.com/film/reviews/t/this-is-spinal-tap.html For those of us aging rapidly (anyone over, say, 30), getting hold of this mockumentary is a must. You'll roll about laughing. And the music was ... well, it was music, kinda, using a very loose definition of the word. Keven might be able to help you here if he's got his head together.

That was meant to be an extra aside to illustrate the Tap's mega-rockosity, rather than a follow-on to the previous comment. Didn't come over like it, I know. (I could be pedantic and mention the extra oomph you can get from humbuckers over single coils, but I won't .)

All of a sudden I feel "Coo-coo for Coa-Coa Puffs".

CK did give a colonel clue and jo gave a wonderful recapitulation of the question, but then we had some minorly obfuscatory digressions until Yoda came along with actually the answer, which I, ab intra, glossed. as to why we're on the same *puzzle, that's 'cuz I haven't deigned to post another. and maybe i won't. :û Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Just peeking back in the door for a moment... #46593 11/04/01 05:28 PM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 2,661 Chicago musick Carpal Tunnel musick Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 2,661 Chicago ... at what point is *direct defined as actually® being so?

"Candididates are advised to read the question first." But I do have the answer.
