Whatsup dude, thank you! I am working with a band right now actually. Some of those songs will get the full treatment, and i will probably post it up when we finish recording it. Thanks again !!

No problem man! Tell me if you record anything with it, so I can hear what you did to it.

Haha I gotcha man. I'll PM it to ya, since I don't want others grabbing it :P

Yeah, I can upload it for you. I'm making a better version with the new SLO amps if you'd like to hear both and decide which one you'd like better! This new one rings out chords a lot better.

Yeah, that tab would be awesome man!

also, if they are booking any travel guides, then try finding some tour that is taking them to the black sea (ONLY AND ONLY if they enjoy water, cruises and amazing wind!). they may take you to a tiny town on the coast of the black sea called poyrazkoy. its not a historically significant place, and not a tourist attraction either. however, it just shows you how big istanbul really is, and also shows you what life is like without tourists.

well, something with a historical value, then even before they go to places for site seeing, i'd recommend them a travel agent. i can name you a few if you guys like. travel agents will take you places, tell you about what happened where, and whats relevant, along with taking you to food as well.

but if, for whatever reason, they choose not to go the travel guide route, then the top places to see would be:
blue mosque
hagia sophia
suleymania mosque
topkapi palace
sistern chapel
spice bazaar
grand bazaar (if they are into shopping, then just go to the shops near the grand bazaar, just on the edges of it. much cheaper, better selection, no one is hassling or harassing you, not as claustrophobic either)

as for places to stay, i stayed in a section of istanbul called 'tasmik square'. its more of the party district of istanbul. its also a bit cheaper to stay in, and it does support some big hotels as well.

humm, indoors then i may not be much help. i did more of the 'back packers' trip, so i stayed away from fancy hotels. the most i was spending a night was about 15 euros. so you can imagine :P

but places to see...what are they into?

also, i'm adding videos to that thread too
