Hi Mike,

I know they're not hollow-necked, but if I remember correctly, the Weissenborn Kona style instruments have a shorter string length that might be a good fit for C6. (I know that you're shif ...

One that always gets me is the intro and outro playing on Ragbag on El Rayo X live.

I've been holding back tears all day.

Lovely to see, lovely to hear! Looking forward to seeing future builds. Also it might be fun to see other inlay portraits you've done.

Right, that lowest G was called gamma which would be a G in Greek. They at this time established a first octave in capital letters and continuing with lowercase letters into the next octave up (much l ...

Great! Lemme know if I got something wrong. I just know there's a medievalist out there who'd tell me I messed it all up.

Ok, my memory may be a bit fuzzy here but....

Will shipping to Italy cost the same as to the UK?

If you want to keep it small and cheap, you might try a Laney Cub 10. It's a cool little amp with 6V6 tubes like Bob just recommended. Laney is mostly known for metal amps, but many people find these ...

That sure is pretty!

If Todd's bar isn't the right size, Jim Burden of Bullet Bars will make you a double ended bar like a Twister, and he'll let you choose the length and diameter. I've got a Twister and Burden - both gr ...

Hey there,

Hey David,

Thanks guys! It was fun. We did a lot of playing/recording that night, but only the first bit had video. The Bruno Fuzz Machine came out a bit later.

Hi Alan,

It's nice to see you sharing this work here! I listened to this material following our correspondence quite some time ago before I became a full-time diaper changer.

Wow! Mandriola is a new word for me! And it's all unison stringing? No octaves? Neet-o!

Very cool! I'm not an expert, but I think that's actually called a "tipple".

I used to have a red knob Dual Showman head, which I believe was a very similar amp to the Twin of that era. I never played it with a steel, but I can say that the clean headroom was pretty impressive ...

A few years back I happened upon a concert in the piazza of the Italian seaside town of Santa Margarita... and it was Jim Hall! Such an idyllic occurrence. His music that day was so beautiful and inte ...

I wonder if it would be possible (assuming someone in that part of the guitar biz were interested) to get us in the neighborhood of "that Sound" with amp and speaker modeling technology.

I can also recommend Jim Burden's bars. When I got an 8 string steel, he made me a bar that's 3 1/4" by 13/16" with a double bullet end. It's a great bar; I love it! You can definitely play ...

Yeah, I got my Ultratone on eBay. The guy said he was restoring a Goldtop. Later I saw the magnet on another auction by the same guy. Lame. Anyway, I got a cool guitar on the cheap.

LP

It happens to Gibson laps quite a bit too. My Ultratone was cannibalized for tuners, knobs and even the pickup magnet.
