All EQ flat. Only added some reverb. With a 10" speaker, the Mambo has less bottom end than my Polytone with the 15" speaker of course.
The impro contains the original DB Woody Woodpecker Motif.

nice..that wonderful guitar sounds good thru anything!! but i think the 10" benefits the quickness of the attack of the single coil pickup
cheers

Such a soulful and powerful delivery of that great tune. The guitar and the player both deliver the goods and make it happen.

Is that a master volume instead of a switch?

Do you find your ES-350 to be fairly lightweight? A friend of mine had two of them years ago, and one of his was just under 7lbs. Not bad, I thought, but I've seen L7C from that era at 5.5 lbs!
The bracing and heavier tops must have been the difference, I suppose. Or is it the laminated wood?
Nice playing as always, Dutch bopper.

I actually recorded the clip below with the 350 unamplified.

What a tone! You seem to play even better with this ES-350...more relaxed...more bluesy..

sounds wonderful.

Well, DB,
This was certainly a departure from most of your musical offerings which are predominately upbeat, hard-bop tempos. I enjoyed the pensive nature of your interpretation of this classic and some of the simple, clean linear lines juxtaposed to your improvisations. You've got a classic sound and your use of breathing and vibrato showed me a different side to your playing/personality which I'd like to see more. Beautiful playing. Play live . . . Marinero

The time it takes an object to stop and reverse direction is a function of its inertia, which is a function of its mass, not its size. But since we're discussing effects here on earth, the area of the speaker is also involved, because it takes time and power to move a speaker cone against the ambient room air, which imposes some resistance to its movement. Then there is the stiffness of the cone, which isn't dependent on size, but does affect movement. So of course a smaller speaker cone is more responsive, and can change direction more quickly. How much all that affects actual cones is a complicated issue, but there is at least some theoretical difference. In the end, the real deciding factor is how the speaker sounds with the amp. And that's a matter of opinion, not physics.

Dick, you always sound wonderful. I think you'd really like the raezer's edge luna if you ever get a chance to play one. To me, it's one step beyond the mambo in terms of warmth and character.

Sounds great. I think you found the one!
