I was selling a Quickrod on craigslist several years back, and got an email from a dude who said he was in the studio all day, but would like to come check out the amp.
Didn't think much of it, because I live in LA, and "in the studio" is not particularly meaningful.
Fast forward to later that evening, and this dude pulls up in a BMW SUV (looking respectable), and gets out carrying a double gig bag. I decide he looks ok, invite him in, and we go back to check out the amp.
Very long story short, dude plugs in, and proceeds to blow my fucking mind!
He wasn't in love with the QR, but I ended up running him through a Peters Gryphon (which he wanted to buy).
He stayed for a little over an hour, and absolutely floored me with his playing. I mean, FLOORED.
I've seen him play out once (he invited me down), but it wasn't like I heard that night at the house; dude is an absolutely amazing player, and I've been lucky enough to be around some pretty talented folks.
He couldn't have been a nicer guy; if I had a triple digit IQ, I would have begged for some lessons.
Hadn't thought about him in quite a while, until I saw this thread!
Jeff is a genuine badass!
