Sweet lookin' axe! Somehow the brown tortie pickguard is nicer than a black one... SJ

The modification described here only works for the preamp schematics I've been able to put my hands on ie mostly 80s/90s JCs (models JC-120/77/55) ...

I have never used self written notes; neither method books, popular lesson plans, nor lead sheets either. I don't document things I learn and don't...

PM sent.

I don't know what would be creamier than a Tube Screamer but for shear variety of sounds this is impressive; HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH! | BOSS OD-200...

Thanks for your honest information. I'm not saying I'll never do it, but it's nice to know that it could be worth the time and effort. I don't think...

Hi Fred, Very beautiful, classy playing there sir. Your videos blow me away every time. There is a lot that I should learn from your playing....

Price drop to $2500 plus shipping. You can put money down if you want me to hold it for you for up to a year. Checks ok.

That gorgeous WesMo looks good on you, Joe, and sounds even better in your skilled hands. A virtuoso performance! :encouragement:

I’ve owned Golden Eagles that weren’t tone canons, while many were. Same for the 8 or so Super Eagle and the Super KB I previously owned. Heritage...

Has anyone tried simply plugging their electric archtop into one the the acoustic simulators, like the Boss AC? Might be worth picking up a cheap...

His skills were in the employ of GIBSON for some number of years as I recall, then he decided to be an independent luthier working with his adult...

it's a Deluxe renecked at the factory

I guess the other question is how different the Golden Eagle would be from the Super KB from a tonal and volume perspective? I think I read on the...

Haha! I’m coming up with every reasonable excuse to not get one and now I am being tempted. Actually not really sure whether the size of these 18”...

That's right. Playing a Heritage 18" x 3" archtop guitar is no more uncomfortable than playing a Gibson 17" x 3-3/8" archtop. They are very...

Except the good ones.

How could this be anything but a positive thing for Heritage. Unless their new neighbors complain about the noise. What the heck is Heritage...

On this topic, has anyone tried any of the overdrive pedals that use a Nutube?

I owned one of these. I sold it to a music store back in 2003 for $200. I bet they sold it for $500.

What a buyer is willing to pay for it.

Like this. While we chase certain tones (acoustic, woody, jazz, et al) we sometimes forget to listen to what just sounds good. We get better tools...

Anyone else on the forum attend Munisteri's course, or just Cleber and I?

Loved it, enjoyed it, do another Joe.

I found the vintage rat reissue to be a good compromise between the gated fusion sound and dynamic OD. This is through a lexicon sig 284 pre direct...

Strange order, but I suppose that's subjective.

Man, what sweet tone. Sounds like a Gibson with a Biltoft pickup!

Dig!

ToneDexter is not a preamp with better than average EQ and is not comparable to other preamps. The signal processing it performs and the fact that...

Nice playing and nice tone, Fred ! What cabinet do you use with this amp ?

Ha ha! Asking prices of Gibsons are through the roof. Understandable since they’ve reportedly stopped producing them.

Congrats, Joe, great rendition of a difficult piece ! and thanks for reminding me of this CD that I had nearly forgotten in my drawers !

Sweet. Maybe your future guitar purchases should all be Gibson L-5's ? The model suits you.

That guitar only has a 3” depth. Anyone who plays a 17” guitar can play an 18” because of its thin 3” depth. Those prices are asking prices. No...

Great playing Joe! I wonder if that composition was the result of a fingerboard exercise that Johnny conceived. The tone was pure L5 magic and never...

Dear all, Thanks for your comments. The socks are a gift from my daughter, so they are invaluable to me... Best and take care.

I just want to make something clear in case it's not. Reg is the real thing. I've had the opportunity to hear him live (at the venue where that...

The tele neck pickup has always been a crapshoot, and olks have been putting strat neck pickups (and many other styles as well) into teles for years....

If you pick right next to the bridge, you'll hear basically the same sound that an undersaddle piezo gets. That's simply because of the position of...

Fantastic Joe! Made my day bro! I play for my dog all the time. Dog's seem to understand jazz. If I was a dog, I can't imagine a better deal than...

+1 for the Fishman. While I used one, I was regularly complimented on my sound. Gesendet von iPad mit Tapatalk

I have a set of Bare Knuckles PG Blues in one of my Les Pauls and love 'em! Tim was GREAT to deal with. Getting back on the subject, I've heard...

Damn you're good!

I watched for the socks and was not disappointed :)

and a bit of Birk’s Works!

Very interesting thread. I don't have a Roland JC but every now and then I get tempted to buy the 22 Watt version. They are the best looking amps...

So interesting to see (hear!) the influence of this guitar to his playing!

I've owned three Triggs, An D'Angelico ll 18" New Yorker replica, a made to order 18" New Yorker style,a PERFECT piece!, and I presently own yet...

:welcome:

+1 on the Bareknuckles! My recent Holst has one, recommended by Steve. I had never tried them, but I trusted his opinion, given our discussion on...

I also think this will be great for Heritage guitars. It will get them more exposure. My guess is that most Les Paul and ES-3x5 players don't know...

That's my approach as well. Thank you John!

Great to hear felipe78! Which Roland JC model/year did you try this on?

Great groove! Excellent blues lines, and cool framed Larry Young album.

A good old Tele Neckpickup‘s got a nickelsilver cover, one part of the vintage tone.

Lovely, lovely playing, and what a warm, clear, ringing tone! Well done Sir, well done! :encouragement:

Beautiful guitar and beautiful playing. But I to must mention the socks,nice!

Ronstuff: good stuff. I like the sparseness of it. If I had a bassist handy, I'd do something similar. For now, backing tracks will have to do. ...

Another builder I hear nothing but raves about, when it comes to PAF style, is Bare Knuckle pickups. I almost bought a set of the Stormy Mondays, but...

Most of the time, at least, the Strat sounds different than the Tele. The Strat pickup sound tends to be glassier, due to the lack of a cover which...

Nice playing Reg, wish we could hear you better in that recording. Could you expand a little on what you mean when you say "you need to finish...

Thanks, Jeff. Aebersold tracks are available for purchase on Apple Music or direct from Aebersold’s website. 99 cents a pop.

Personally I have not. But I've heard them in arch tops (335 style), and they sound tremendous. They better, for the price tag. If I owned a nice...

Dig the socks ! ......oh and the playing too. :smile-new:

Back Up!

Thank you kris and Jeff! :smile-new:

Well that's the first time on JGO I've been compared to a sex worker.

There's a difference between practicing and playing.

For me it’s which finger goes on which note when you play a particular scale. Same as piano except the keyboard is very simple compared to the...

yeah, i read about this guy in london ;) well, maybe, as you say, the next generation of famous jazz musicians will basically be camgirls.

Good point ! Same here... What's brand new anyways ? :smile-new:

'Brothers and Sisters'; Barry Harris Pat Martino also a version of this. Pretty important concept for jazz. Thanks for the vid!

Not a big fan of a piezo even with a good preamp. However, used with a Tonedexter it's a different kettle of fish. You set up a microphone on your...

Now that's mighty fine for such a spontaneous take, lawson! Rockin' - do I hear a tiny bit of Santana in there if you don't mind asking?......

No affiliation here, but there is a pretty, red, used Albatross for sales on Reverb.

Thanks for posting the Guitar World article! I’m really glad to hear Heritage won’t be affected.
