I have an outboard tweeter (Henriksen Tweety) that I mostly use when I’ve plugged in an acoustic guitar. But I’ll occasionally use it with magnetic pickups to add a tiny bit of chime, but rolling the...
I play straight ahead jazz, all standards, with a rotating group of players who come and go. We play events and restaurants and stuff like that. I have a good amount of gigs, I have the amount of...
