Well, those rhythm guitar voicings can't be bashed out on a plugged in electric guitar...
For me the most astonishing thing about my 76 JS is the difference between unplugged and amplified. I feel that it does not really retain the properties of it's acoustic voice when plugged in, but...
Paulie, thanks for the insight, did you note a difference in tone and depth tween the two? the WesMo 2002 I had a chance to noodle on had that sound- What amp are you playing your Benedetto through?...
The jazz group I sit in with has a very good drummer, but he has other demands on his time (he's on the local university music faculty), so it's not unusual for the weekly session to have to do...
Oh, I stand corrected, I just went back and saw your post that mentioned "other style" bassists. And I see that Christian did too. Sorry, it's a long thread... :chargrined:

I understand your GBJS or GBAA feelings but it is hands down the finest made ‘mass produced’ archtop I've ever put my hands on. The recurve, the fingerboard extension, the shape of the plates; It...
I am going to go off the wall and tell you to add two braces going across the top and bottom of the X brace. They will not touch the X brace but sit in between at about 1/3 of the way inside. This...
I'd hope so (or else what's the point of the subforums), and a priori threads are only moved if the OP either asks it or (supposedly) if Dirk thinks it should. Heh, I already got the feeling...
"volume power is not an indicator of a fine sound archtop.” - Volume is an indicator of a well made acoustic guitar. A balanced range of frequencies denotes the tone and ‘fine sound’, that I think...
