Five sets of Jazz Swing flatwounds (12-50). $115 shipped.
Hmm, when I played with my college big band, the bass player gave me dirty looks when I played voicings on the bottom strings like those, felt I was invading his territory and muddying his lines...
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...

This is kind of an open-ended discussion--just throwing it out there for opinions. For our recent show in a smallish club--50 in the audience--I took along my Gretsch G6117 reissue and Fishman...

Nothing quite like that in the charts I'm seeing. I wonder if the arranger wrote in backbeats or something, or if the chart would just have slashes.
I'd second this. Try to play a 16" 2.5-2.75" depth guitar and a 17" over 3" depth guitar if you can, even if it is not the exact models. While the difference in measurements appears very small, they...
