Genzler Acoustic Array Pro vs Henriksen Bud 10

I'm still trying with this. All the others were basically using subs, which I thought were more interesting hearing-wise. This one just plays the chords and is therefore more melodic. Not as good, I...

August 2024 - Autumn in New York

I have three G&Ls. Compared to the round '59 LPs, they are thinner. But they are not close to the Gibson '60's in thinness. A friend sold me a couple of '59 fat Thorntons. They are wonderful...

G&L ASAT Deluxe Semi-Hollow

From how I remember the NY subway (sauna and/or sardine cans) he was pretty courageous to take 2 valuable instruments on it. One of which was not his own, btw. He does, but he seems to think...

Frank Vignola's Guitar Night, an ongoing concert and livestream series

Sorry, I've got AINY on the brain. I'd completely forgotten Alone Together, which it was. This is the post: Analyzing So, yes, I'd be interested if you'd like to.

I did switch to the Beta 8a. Solved the problem but added a lot of weight. Sounded better too. I eventually just got a Bud 6 soon after though.

Original JazzKat club

Gibson L-5C ,1957

Better is subjective here. Jazz 12 is a good amp. SS and tube sound and feel differently. Both have been used to create legendary jazz guitar tones. For me the amp choice is a bit more important than...

Lots of people here use Toobs to solve your problem (and no need to buy two - one will do fine!). :encouragement:

One head, two cabs.

Listening to and playing along with reggae tracks (meaning rhythm guitar) is a good lesson for how note length relates to groove and how different parts are intertwined and locked in. From...

Groove comes and goes..

I understand that. I'm not sure that 'less contrived' isn't still contrived but I hear what you say :-) By the way, I think you said when you got back from wherever it was that you'd give Autumn...

Hi, I have the DV Mark Jazz 12, it has a very warm sound! Do you think it would be better with tubes?

Humbucher height?

Would be nice if you could try plugging your guitar into a nice tube combo like a Princeton Reverb or a Tweed. That would probably have much bigger effect on the overall sound than the difference...

Humbucher height?

I shook his hand in 1991. Probably I got infected, haha. But joking aside actually before that I was listening to African-American blues for one year allmost exclusively (John Lee Hooker, Muddy...

Groove comes and goes..

For SS a Mambo head is what I would be looking for. A combo would probably be more portable than the head + cab.
