  1. Bogey, that’s a mid-late 60’s short scale EB O, little sister to the long-scale twin-pickup EB 3 made popular by Jack Bruce, among others. I’d guess late 60’s by the tailpiece. That “Mudbucker” pickup is dirty and growling. Solid mahogany body. I had a long-scale walnut ‘72-‘73 in that same cherry finish back in the day that was given to me. It was stolen. I’d kill to still have it. Super cool old bass.

  2. DougO, that SG has been teasing me too and I’m not even an SG guy. Well done.

    Hulla, sorry I never got back to you on the ASAT and Vox. Are they still available? And the ASAT in the Tweet is stunning. Damn.

  3. Get out of my mind, jj. Hah.

    Agreed, Mojo. Playing with others who are more advanced certainly helps as well. The greatest leap I’ve ever taken was with a dude that could’ve played for anyone but is likely still in his living room getting stoned, smoking cigarettes, drinking Pepsi and playing Dimeola/Return to Forever note for note.

  4. Yeah, Mojo, it seems I learned CAGED by default when I taught myself how to play by ear many years ago. It was certainly helpful in getting to a reasonably advanced point but it was limiting after that. I’ve had several friends who are way more talented than myself, including a guy with an MA in music (guitar), tell me to abandon a lot of the thought processes i developed in order to advance further in theory. I appreciate the input, man.

  5. I’m too limited in both knowledge of complex/advanced chord forms and vocal range not to use a capo. It makes up for a lot of deficiencies and allows me to be significantly more expressive than I would otherwise.

  6. He is in Atlanta. Guitar has rarely been played. Also, I'm getting the info on exactly which amp that is.


    Thanks, man. I’ll have a decision later. My son still wants an acoustic but those are tempting additions to my stockpile. Particularly the git. I’ll PM if interested.
  7. Somebody learn me on that amp. I LOVE Vox tubes but I’ve heard mixed reviews on the modelers. I’m thinking buy it and either give it to my son or give him another guitar and my little Fender Mustang II modeler.

     

    If the info is in the amp thread, please be so kind as to point the way.

  8. Grandioso, if it’s Star or Barry’s leave that ax alone. Them are good people.

     

    I know that intersection quite well. Didn’t have the rainbows back then. Feel free to repost CM’s JPEG at y’all’s discretion.

     



  9. I saw Willie play a headless Steinberger live at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas back when he thought the IRS might take Trigger.


    Wow. That sounds like something for the “That’s Just Wrong” thread.
