Last week I ordered a book from the U.S. and today it came in the mail after less than a week.The book is called Jimi Hendrix Gear and looks like it's very well researched.The forward is written by the maker of much of Jimi's Octavia and other effects units,Roger Mayer.Roger is an electronics wizard and was only 21 when he met Jimi at the Bag O' Nails in 1967.He is responsible for a very large part of Jimi's sound.Anyway I purposely kept myself from browsing through the book because I want every page to be a surprise.As a bona fide Hendrix freak this book is like a Bible to me as is The Beatle's Gear by Andy Babiuk. There is also a book out now about the Stone's gear,I don't know if Andy wrote this one too but it's another must have book for me since I was a huge fan of the Stones until they jerked Brian around-then they became another mediocre pop group as far as I'm concerned.They only recorded 2 albums after Brian's death that I thought were good enough to buy,they were "Sticky Fingers" and "Goats Head Soup".
