I finally made up my mind and ordered a 7 string alnico II 59 bridge with a nickel cover to put in the neck position of my 335. I know I could swap magnets myself in one of my two existing 59s,...
With so many youthful wunderkind into the scene these days, we need firm rules to be set as a good example for all those "jazz minors".
The notes are more easily sung that way; half steps and leading tones. That tradition, as a choral tradition, became assimilated as a sound and once it became part of the compositional canon, it was...
Regardless of how rigid it is, adjustments are necessary over the lifetime of an instrument. My dad's steinberger had a carbon/fiber neck and fingerboard. No trussrod. Guaranteed against warping....
Because rules are tools for fools:) Most basic answer is that in jazz, the scale is not only used for melody, but harmony. This is why Christian and I have started a petition to call the scale...
I had never thought about the increased stiffness of a fingerboard fighting the truss rod adjustment, but I do believe it's likely a 'thing'. It's got to make for one rigid board. Of course, maybe if...
How did it evolved in jazz that the melodic minor scale is played the same way ascending or descending, that is, when descending the 6th and 7th notes are not flatted but raised as in when ascending?...
125's like that are great guitars. I own one of the earliest mid-40's models, and it's a wonderful guitar. Those P90's should come with a warning for players with pacemakers! Serious magnets.
The last amp I really liked was the Fender 68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb. I had to change all the tubes right away since 2 out of 3 where faulty. I heard a lot of owners report the same issue. After...
ToneX sounds wonderful but has little capability on the box to speak of.
I put a StewMac Parsons Street humbucker in the neck slot of my MiK Broadway and love it. Then I put a Seymour Duncan PhatCat (?) --the P90 in the Humbucker form factor--in my Zephyr Regent...
I looked at the pickup openings and it looked solid. There is a strip of thin wood under the bridge, but not under the whole top. And I played my EEB and my L5ces alongside an Aria Pro II PE180...
That too. I couldn't sell anything without shipping. Palm Beach CO Florida local sales are anemic.
Why in jazz are the raised 6th and 7th notes...
