    My1964 ES 125 through the Polytone Mini Brute IV. Very much inspired by Tal's 1950s take. I like the vintage bop sound of this combination very much.

    Absolutely enjoyable again - both playing and tone. How about a street broom next?

    It just doesn't get better than that! Great tune, great playing, great sound. That's how I want to play when I grow up! I kept vacillating between thinking of Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, or, maybe best, Doug Raney.

    That is just tremendous DB and granted the guitar has great sound it still requires the player to make it..........you got that correct!

    That's a great combination. Gorgeous sound and playing.
    Is your MBIV the version with just volume, bass, and treble plus 3 pos. slider switch?
    What speaker do you have in it?
    Thank you.

    Thanks. No, it has more controls than that. Bass, treble, mid, vol, master vol, gain, overdrive, reverb, pre amp out ....

    Mine has the 15" speaker in it. Bought it in 97 if I remember correctly ....

    I have the MBII of that same vintage. Last version prior to the "Sonic Circuit" generation. I actually have two so I can use one for parts if the other dies! I love these amps. In my little playing area, I have the Polytone, the Fender PRRI, and the Fender Tonemaster Twin Reverb. The Polytone has a way of being the go-to amp, though the other two are wonderful as well.

    Great playing DB. And that signature sound. My goodness. I wish I could do that!
    Really great stuff. Someone who aspires to play exciting “real” Jazz, should listen to you play for a couple of days straight and then it will sink in.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for listening and the kind words Joe. Though I like all the masters of course, I have always been especially intrigued by guys that create an exciting listening experience.
