Thanks for reply. I went through a period of buying way too many jazz books but based on your Bb blues, recommendation and sample pages on Sher...

But I would like to use the combo without phones on weekends, so I don't need to turn on the big-tube-beast :) 3W with 3" speaker...does that...

This subject comes up now and again for some reason. Actually there's no reason why treating the 1 chord as a major when it's written as a dominant...

Maybe something for Al Di Meola?

Well, this one didn't work much better, either:

:welcome:

Yes, they are. It's a good book.

I sold all my guitars and got this ‘all-in-one’ model, I’m still not sure about it though.

NU:X Mighty Lite.

I've had my Knotty Pine for a few days now. I quite like it, and while it might not be "furniture grade":rolleyes:, imo it is infinitely more...

Don’t change the whole set, just the high E.

Up

Everything that sounds like myself;)! No, I’m joking. Partly. Actually, I don’t have any favorite jazz guitar sound. As long as all guitarists...

Fusion is jazz. Granted - It's not what we would call straight-ahead, or bop, or swing. Its compositional forms are often close to post-bop. ...

In recent years I have tried D'addario, TI, SIT, Pyramid, GHS, and La Bella Jazz Flats. The La Bella Jazz flats to me were the deadest sounding to...

I agree. But both were borderline insane.

This one: I returned it, it did not do as promised....

Perhaps you should consider a good quality mix through headphones. I recommend the iRig Mix: IK Multimedia - iRig Mix. You can run you phone and...

I have an Earthquaker Device Dispatch Master and love it. I have two actually..one for acoustic board...one for electric...it is a delay/reverb combo...

Bernstein's Zeidler does sound very good.

I play solid bodies and love my EP Booster. There are internal dip switches in later versions of the EP Booster that lets you change EQ settings....

I'm usually not a big fan of the electric sounds of boutique, acoustically lively archtops, but nevertheless I agree that Peter Bernstein gets some...

Yes, that's my intention. The Chromes wouldn't go dead. The Bensons sound orders of magnitude better. Not quite as smooth, though,

Clearly, you're no fun! :doh: :smile-new:

That perpetual arpeggio idea sounds great. Are those nice comping moves in Randy's "Intro" book too?

Try a very subtle delay pedal along with the flat wounds and rolling off the treble for a budget PM sound. On the broader topic, I'm sorry, but so...

Ernie Ball Volume pedal, the smaller one. The response of the pedal is hardly smooth and as a result useless for playing and more of a turn the...

Wood working is a hobby for me and this knotty pine they are selling is hardly at the pinnacle of good furniture making. Pine is a soft wood, new...

My vote also goes to the Yamaha THR range. One of them maybe fit your needs. The new wireless are very desirable but more expensively.

Aux In, Phones out, battery or mains.

I would love to have one of those but I have no use for them :(

Fred Astaire,Joe Pass yep that still is my fav.Mine has the cover of Fred dancing in a characture drawing realy cool!

I own both the Yamaha THR10 (older version, Access to this page has been denied.) and the Boss Katana 50 (older version, Access to this page has been...

I've added a video of our mr. beaumont playing a tele into the microbe, above.

The ID:Core BEAM is also a good alternative if you can play more instruments than just guitar.

Doesn't have aux in :( I'll check it :) Nice tip!

Just a thought: I believe the Boss Katana 50 has the 'ins & outs' you require. It is relatively cheap and possesses the virtues of having a 12"...

Yes it does.

I don't think you'll get a better small amp than the Yamaha THR 10C. Lots of tone variation as well as clean to heavy distortion. I use mine in...

There are many that would fill your needs, since you aren't especially looking for tone or volume. ANY modeler would, even the little Roland...

Bugera V5 Infinium Great for that price, 5W unbelievable tube sound. Optionally you can go lower with the built in attenuator to 1W and 0.1 W but I...

Blackstar ID:Core BEAM is a good practice amp.

Thank you, but I was looking for a combo, not head+cabinet.

The Laney L5 Studio is a 5W amp with both phones and aux connections. It includes a dummy load for reduced power or silent playing. I have the head...

It's my favorite Joe Pass solo album. Every track dances.

Only one man can be mentioned here along with Ginger Baker, John Bonham the greatest rock drummer :smile-new: Btw if anyone interested to hear...

I would second the Scofield recommendation. Albums like Meant To Be or Time On My Hands are the gold standard for what can be done in a jazz context...

It is very interesting... without any critic about Mike's playing (I love and adore his work and art) I really find his playing more rock-based, and...

Sco in some records has very strong bop sounds with overdrive... Flat Out - YouTube

The bright mod had already been done by the amp tech. Much better since! But I Will try the 012 strings for the final touch. Stefaan

I hate anything thinner than .012 (for 24.75” necks, on 25.5” I can get around with .011). Thinner strings: can’t do sh!t with those! Nothing to do...

I *think* I see a round edge of the black backside of the headstock and not a stinger, so I concluded it must be a volute. But it’s difficult to see,...

I heard him here a few times (in Russia I mean) - he is definitely an accomplished versatile professional player but I was never much.. I cant'...

Malekko 616 and Mad Prof. Deep Blue Delay (DBD) -- I didn't regret either until they broke... I think the 616 had an issue with one of the pots, and...

In your search, avoid early Eastman tailpieces with a hinge. Mine fatigued and broke after about 10 years. Fortunately Eastman was happy to replace...

Where do you sit when company comes over?

Just out of curiousity, if you want dead strings why change strings ever? Just play 'em 'til they fall off! ;)

Thank goodness I just spent all of my money on holiday gifts for others rather than one for myself. I'd suggest those thinking about it jump on it...

And this is two years old. Wow. (BTW - Is it just me or do these talented young Russians look like they really live in Seattle?) ...

I always liked lucite gits, but they're so heavy and hard to find... they blend in so well :-) I lost my lucite strat somewhere in the house, I...

That 48 DA Style B would probably be my last guitar if I had to go down to just one guitar. As luck would have it, I do not foresee that day....

I love when you see a “young xxx jazz legend video”. and they’re already 40 and bald.

Wow, this topic generated a lot of interest! I tend to think of the basic all domininate I IV V 12-bar blues as focused on the guide tones (3rds...

Yawn.

I think you're right, one of them was a 350, the other an L7, probably the blonde one, heard about the multiple pu's before as well. No matter,...

You might like listening to Allen Hinds, Scott Henderson and Mike Landau. Hinds also teaches at GIT and Landau was first call studio guitarist in LA...

Wow! never heard that one thanks for the heads up !! How is that not inventive! tasteful! and downright head nodding , toe tapping engaging!!! The...

Still can't. Ask me how I know. :rolleyes:

I believe that is a Gibson L7 rather than an ES 350. I think his brother mentioned that in a blog once. It had several different pickups over the...

Well here's the winner. Impressive indeed. I'm not sure what he needs tuition assistance for, but he'll figure it out. Evgeny Pobozhiy...

****** young'uns.

For me, there is something Eternal & Profound in this.

Walt Frazier - - no punk / hot-dog attitude - -nothing but talent and cool !!

That was one of the reasons that I bought one although I no longer have it. Also wanted to try a 25" scale length. I think that it is the closest...

Catalinbread Talisman -wonderful sounding plate - I have it between my Empress Para EQ and Quilter Micro Block Will

I am very interested in the new 10” amps. I was planning on buying a Blu this week, but I might wait to see a few opinions on the 10 first. I have a...

you guys always amaze me with your when in doubt, go heavier string thing!! haha...jazz macho..a holdover from prehistoric days when a jazzer needed...

Lol!

Holdsworth did a sort of ‘standards’ album called None Too Soon, it’s quite interesting. Allan Holdsworth - How Deep Is The Ocean - YouTube

I use Elixir's nanoweb strings. To my ears, they are all good but in time, the 1st string will get tinny. In a really bad way. Changing strings cures...

ribot, torn and holdworth are three strongly idiosyncratic players...ribot had caribbean finger style roots but went downtown nyc outside with it......

Excellent points. But note that on an Blackface Deluxe Reverb the bright cap is only present in the “Vibrato” channel. There’s no bright switch in...

God I love that! Wow. He probably thought it sounded like a gimmick but damn man. That’s the bee’s knees.

It’s a gig-worthy scarf, too.

Michael - once you've found the right partner, you've no need for any other. That looks beautiful and inviting. Stringswinger - quite an amazing...

the existing one is a little over 6" on the treble side and 5.5" on the bass side. Slightly longer is probably ok

wm- that's a hofner az..he got it thru his association with attila zoller cheers

Jay, don't believe the one in the pic has a volute....

I am serially monogamous and this is my current partner in music.

The 1977 ES-350T reissue has a 5-piece neck, a volute, is a Thinline and has the split-parallellogram inlays. I think it’s the most likely candidate...

yeah I was thinking the one in the pic above might be one of the long scale 70s models but by '77 when it was introduced most Gibson models had a...

Jack, What length?

JZ will be onto this in his FB group, mark my words...

My favourite is the Boss '63 Reverb pedal. On higher settings it does get a bit over the top. It gets into serious Dick Dale territory. Set low...

Well Joe Pass did, one time only. Starts at 1:28 here: Joe Pass.....with overdrive! - YouTube

I agree with lawson-stone. We need more Hagström threads in this world!

Damn that's nice! I'd pay to see that. How come the guys in behind didn't give you a standing O at the end? And, I don't see a mic so how did...

Mother-of-Toiletseat binding, cool!

prior hagstrom love here- Hagstrom Jazz Guitars? cheers

1. Yes 2. No 3. Yes/No JK. I like them all. I think Marc Ribot has the most traditional jazz background, having played with Jack McDuff and...

the original 50's 350T's were 23.5 scale...but gibby did a reissue in 1977..with a 25.5 scale!!! (& with humbuckers. not original p-90's) cheers

What can I say? I'm built for comfort, not for speed. John

My 10 archtops (not to mention my four other guitars) will not fit in one shot so here are six of my archtops: 1997 Gibson Super 400 1996 Gibson...

Not wanting to get into this discussion, but I've been learning an acoustic blues from the 1930s that has moves that were common then but less common...

Maybe we need a Hagström Love thread!

Scale length? Nut Width? Rim depth? Please.

It's all former, no latter! ;o) I think you want FORMER to refer to 'practicing 3 nps scales to gain technique' and meant to use LATTER to refer to...

I either write my own stuff, or do arrangements of out-of-royalty old things. But if I wanted to do a piece requiring a license, the publisher would...

must say, "the back row is modern" line made me chuckle...modern circa pre-WWII design!! haha wonderful couch art gents..to each his own...

Not at all. I was joking. Delighted for others to join in. And who can complain about seeing great classic archtops. The more the merrier!

I got rid of all (or almost) all of mine too. I still need a reverb pedal, but that's all. I got rid of lots of nice stuff -- Full tone, Real...

That was clearly not my intention, but thankfully that smiley face with sunglasses lets me know you're not mad. Ha! All the best to you, sir!

Looks like you're running out of room on your couch. Plenty of room on mine, and I'd be happy to let you keep an L5 there. John
