That's pathetic - Dortmund if I'm not mistaken?

Thanks for sharing! Love the big band stuff. One of my regrets is not playing in the jazz band in my early music days. I wish I had known about...

One thing; I would like to close the gap between the positions I use to improvise and the positions I use to read. There should be no difference. ...

Wow that actually makes sense.

I'd get one of these http://files.effectsdatabase.com/gear/pics/mxr_paperweight_001.jpg?og=image

Thanks for the kind words, All.

Great. I am glad you enjoy it.

My guess is they were going chronologically through the the alphabet with new designs. And some line up like bass and Jumbo.

Hello and Yes of course. Thank you for asking. I will pack them and find out what the costs will be to Norway. Regards, DJ

yes, KilOhms. Bridge: Fully off is 1.6, peak 126.3 and fully On is 10.5

One not yet mentioned: The Seventy Seven Albatross. Mine was the custom, with P90s. On the smaller side. Jack Z. demoed the HB version (the Jazz) in...

Thanks for your review! I‘ve tried them today and they sound very nice and rich, full of sustain and overtones. Sweet and mellow but full of...

yea, screws into wood. springs is a good idea. thank you. man, 600k inhabitants in my town and not a single music store anymore. I'd happily boost...

Herb and Duke ... two guys who are on a first name basis with the blues ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28rj__vLBho

Have you checked already how they are fitted to the body? Screws directly into the wood? Why not use springs for example like on other pickups?

My Eastman AR905 (now sold to a friend) has a Kent Armstrong Floating Mini Humbucker without adjustable pole pieces. No problems – neither with...

thanks guys, it#s appreciated.

From Japan, Bluewolf?

Presumably those are kilohms. Fully clockwise, the pot slider should be connected directly to the pickup with the pot track in parallel to ground....

In my case that is admittedly setting a very low bar. Mind you I had a night's sleep last night, so feeling' good.

Best sounding cables I've ever played. Almost too good. It changed the sound that I was used to and showed up the weaknesses of my technique that I...

That's basically me not quite knowing how it goes. Poker face is working well though (or you guys are too kind, one of the two.) Less dorky takes...

SO glad to hear you say this. I think this is especially relevant in the context of building up speed and chops. During my time at Berklee, a few...

Even though you don't exercise as much as you would like, you have a lot more energy than everyone here in the jam.

Nice playing on nylons-free variation on the theme/head/.

Great thanks!

Great sounding guitar .Nice feel and playing no unnecessary fireworks.Cool.

The way I see most people use the CAGED system is that it's a movable reference, where you use the root on a given string and then make the scales...

Great playing.Guitar sound very good.Full deep jazz sound. ...but I think you have your personal sound on mod Ibanez with Fishman piezo bridge....

Would you be willing to sell these to me? Tonnie van der Heide Gerhard Grans Vei 55 5094 Bergen, Norway What would the shipping costs be?

Great variety of feel and tempos in the takes here! Peter C: liked your tone - reminded me a bit Grant green when he dialed in his amp on the...

I like George L's low capacitance cables. Mine has been very reliable, unlike just about every other brand I've tried.

i think that was his brother rather than his son? these clips must be 10- 20 years old. is ash still playing bass in latin bands? edit: seems...

To stay correct- I was talking about the height adjustment on Franz pickups which are screwed into the wood, e.g. like Filtertrons. Sorry. Foam...

many thx....stunning piece of wood. all the best.

Fantastic! Love that neck! GLWTS!

For me, string-to-string balance on an electric guitar should closely match what I experience on an acoustic guitar. My technique will adjust to...

1. OK, so how is that different or superior to CAGED? (The CAGED fingerings likewise connect with each other and there is no "fretboard blank...

My perception of Reg's scale fingerings - from someone who doesn't have the discipline or the attention span to put in the time they deserve - is...

Good eye, Don. This 356 was a one-off build by the former Gibson CS 'Custom Direct' program. They'd do about anything a customer wanted as long as...

Same Skynyrd was probably my favorite band in H.S. Good memories!

This track is so good! Any chance you're ok to share? :cool:

I love Jim Hall's track. But, I like understated players.

Agreed. And really like that blond one! My CS-356 doesn't have the Bigsby, but my beautiful Johnny A did.

Awesome, those look like Citation "cloud" inlays.

I'll vacuum seal them with my food saver. Eliminate the O2. Y knot.

Week 13. Day 5. Ah, the end of the Monday-Friday work week. I had an excellent session this evening. I felt inspired. I had purpose. I was trying to...

Wes. "No Blues" is my favorite jazz blues solo of all time. It kills and keeps killing.

I'll vacuum seal them with my food saver. Eliminate the O2. Y knot.

no sweat....to each his own.

I thought that was a joke. Not worth ten cents to me.

The four smaller guitars are the ones I've been using to play rock & pop for the last 16-18 years. I play the Johnny A's more only because I prefer...

isn't that spectacular. the metal work is unreal as well.

beautiful trad japanese finish of pine! perfect for zen guitar trading! very nice! excellent pic- cheers

Clearly listening to the wrong stuff. I'm here to help.

Someone explained well here. Dominant subs Family of Four

Thanks for that. I had that record in high school, still have it, probably haven't listened to it since then, yet could clearly hear the melody...

I like this a lot. Your variation on the harmony benefits from slowing it down a bit, great choice. Cool lines, outstanding feel. I've said it...

I bought Sadowsky strings before and liked them.

hohners were decent entry level guitars...tho they no longer are involved with guitars these days i posted that pic of the miniatures within, a...

Sounds like a good fit. Mainly, he is aligned with your goals (shred, not Charlie Christian).

Peter C: I was also kind of hoping for more the strat, but the archtop was cool. Good energy and vibe. And yes, I've played a lot of electric blues....

I think J was for "Jumbo."

Yes sorry about the delay! Knobs and pickguard need to go back on still... The soundpost in question with the refreshed electronics... ...

I'm sticking to the the idea of just playing and putting it out there! Again with a Bass player and the drum Genius app. With a little...

Yamaha products are generally good values, although I don't know that particular model. I play a GCS-1. I got the idea from Jack Wilkins, who...

Really nice time feel. I especially liked it on the octaves at the end.

It affected several string makers, and lawsuits abounded. It almost put DR strings out of business. Since then, several manufacturers have moved to...

Ah.... you have a point. I missed that. Looks like an honest mistake, as you say. Ah, well :smile-new:

Lovely instrument! GLWS!

I found an AT 17, which is what I wanted all along. It’s overseas and I’m trying to get it over here now. I’ll post pictures if and when I get it if...

Peter, Your second take, with the ol' archie... Sounds like you were shot outta a cannon. Very explosive energy and great playing. I...

Glad you liked it. Sebastian is a hell of a gypsy jazz player. Plays lightning fast with a quasi Benson picking that he brought over to the manouche...

Christian, cool sound with the acoustic bass with the nylon. I gotta admit, I was like "ooh, whats he doing here?" During the head, but your solo...

The overtone phenomenon you're dsecribing I believe is referred to as "Stratitis". As a kid I could never figure out why my bottom string sounded so...

A 1946 ES-300 with an original P90 with slugs was one of the best sounding pickups ever ever heard. It had amazing balance also.

on p-90's the magnets are below the bobbin...on the bottom of the pickup...the polepieces are just screws...the most difference in sound comes from...

I've kept mine sealed for a few years and hadn't noticed a problem. They didn't oxidize as far as I could tell. But they are sealed. Why would...

One of my all time favorite guitarists. Thank you for sharing. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Well Jeff, your tone has convinced me that I need to get back to flatwounds, to try a less stacatto feel. Good phrasing as always, locked into the...

I use dense foam - easy to get, easy to cut to fit, usually free.

I've listened to this album probably about 1000 times. And Jim's playing STILL sounds surprising to me.

What a unique instrument, Cesar! And, the photography was beautiful. What is the tonewood on the back? It is stunning. Is the top sandwich...

Bingo! The neck pickup starts out at 2.1, peaks at 107 and full on is 26. During travel there are spikes of over 500. Im guessing its the pot...

Thank you for the tips. Indeed, the rhythm section would be an excellent source of information, both comping and understanding the harmony itself. I...

Thanks Doc :) glad to hear you jammed along, don't mind at all! No CITES as CITES comes into force in 1947. The guitar being prewar does not need...

Thank you sir! I finally got around to listening to that video you posted. That's pretty awesome. I'll be sending it to a few friends.

Mine just arrived today. They really had to stuff the box in the package-it barely fits.

Great motif development.

Nice guitar, nice playing. I grabbed my guitar while listening and played along. Hope your don't mind. :smile-new: Did you have to get CITES...

I've played a few Silver Skys, but none of them were as great as that first one I mentioned in my OP. I kind of found a similar thing to be true when...

I think I have a Gibson book that said it WAS used because of Lloyd Loar. I may not remember correctly. Sometimes I forget to remember stuff.

Finally, somebody suggests a technique that I can use! More seriously, thanks for the run-down.

Used ES-335s are easily in your price range. I recently purchased a 1997 dot for $2200 (including tax).

If they’re too low they sound liveless, quiet and more or less muddy, raised too high they‘re indifferent, harsh and they possibly generate unwanted...

Good stuff, Hep. That's a great tune.

The whole thing as written? On what chart by whom? I mean the guy who is credited as the composer has recorded it both ways, so that's a pretty bold...

I'm gonna throw in a uncommon suggestion: Peavey JF-1. These are pretty cheap as they fly under the radar. What i like most about these is that the...

Mr. B - Too right. I've worked on many a chain gang, there's not much to be said for it :-)

Don‘t know. I just refurbished a 335 copy with P90s and put them as low as possible, using the pole pieces to adjust string balance. So I seem to...
