I’ve not noticed much of a correspondence between how well I think I played on a gig and how well I actually played. For example, you might not have played how you wanted or what you’d been...

A few bad notes or a missed chord

Like I said, this is a very conservative place. Like I also said, preferences are one thing but not even being able to listen to such a fluent improvisor who freaked out Miles Davis (who wrote a...

This has Vinny's name written all over it! Vinny is in the hood, too.

Some years ago I bought a used G&L Comanche on Reverb. I already had another Comanche that I love. This new one had David Gilmour EMG pickups, which I had no experience with. It also had the stock...

Or that, like with donuts, is just icing on the cake (an insult to the cake if you ask me, comparing it to donuts :rolleyes:)

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

Do they go in easily with a few gentle turns of a screw driver? It doesn't look too suspicious except maybe a hasty assembly at some point. Try setting the screws yourself. They are screwed into a...

Seeking advice - New used archtop purchased

Did you ever make a choice yet? I'm surprised that I didn't think of that high-end Breedlove N25 that was FS on here for a very discounted price. I cannot find it any longer but I seem to recall it...

Recommendation request

I have to get this off my chest but, for jazz, I prefer solid state. I have a Twin and a Musicman 65 rp 112 and persevered with them but always go back to my SSs.

Not really sounding very 'jazzy'. Is it in the playing technique?

Tone wise, 7 on treble on a Princeton is BRIGHT. Try both pots barely cracked open. That's "flat" on a Princeton. Heavier strings would help. Did you do these arrangements yourself? They're...
