Pürbach 14 (Andy Bartosh)

[QUOTE=lawson-stone;1343918]Thank You. The amp is mic'd with a Bluebird "Blue" microphone, and the direct is via a Bugera PS1 Power Soak. I send the audio inputs to an old PreSonus AudioBox iTwo to...

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Actually remembering that aspect of Joe's style was what helped me get that last section of our tune. I was reading it correctly, but wasn't really playing it with the feel and authority needed, then...

haha, i know you love the quilter. I just can't bond with their amps for some reason. Some upper midrange and treble shrillness that can't be dialed out. I've tried. I've owned 4 or 5 of their amps....

Thank You. The amp is mic'd with a Bluebird "Blue" microphone, and the direct is via a Bugera PS1 Power Soak. I send the audio inputs to an old PreSonus AudioBox iTwo to get the levels below...

I used to have the Katana 100 head a couple years back. Really impressive amp especially for the low cost. But to my ears my Quilter Aviator gen 1 combos and TB202 head have a more pleasing clean...

Yes, I suppose so too, and that would probably not be trivial at all seeing how thick wood glue usually is. In my case the gap was wide enough that I could just put a ribbon of glue along the gap and...

Definitely a relic of the 40's. Gibson's numbering scheme for this period was abysmal, but it's pretty obvious a very early model and typically the tuner buttons and pick guards have either rotted...

Hoping things get better for you soon. I have always appreciated your contributions here and am looking forward to more of it.

Nicely done! Good work! I like the sound of the recording over all. I hear some difference if I try to isolate each side but my hearing abilities are not that sophisticated. I would say that...

Box it as if you are shipping it and check it as baggage if you don't want to splurge for a tour-type travel case. At this point in my life I never rely on being able to carry on. Policies have...

Flying with guitar

I concur with this assessment. I don't change my strings often, and I have noticed no need to change them any more often with SS frets. And for anyone who bends, I can't imagine anyone would prefer...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

I have tried various Fender type necks with SS frets for a prolonged (years) time. I ended up going back to nickel silver. It was a subtle tone difference but it is probably similar to my dislike...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

DM I value your opinion and your vast real world knowledge, however these forums can become a matter for historic record and it is in that spirit, I feel like I should add a counter experience to...

I don’t think it’s advisable to post pictures of people in swimwear with respect to Metheny…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

Very nice! I didn't quite get what you meant about the walking bass and top note until I heard you play it, at which point I immediately knew what you meant. Joe does a similar thing in his solo...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?
