Sound Sample of AGP #417 ''Brassy Bowl''

A quick sound sample of my latest build AGP #417 “Brassy Bowl”, a short Riff from “You Gotta Move”, first part “Cleanish”, and second part a bit on the “Dirty” side.
The Git is 25½” Scale, currently strung with a .042NW String tuned to G, and a .032NW String tuned to C, have been thinking about changing them to lighter gauge Strings, and a different tuning, but!, still undecided.
And Yes!, there is a bit of background Hum and Noise, mainly due to a Pedestal Fan directed at me, it was bit warm and Humid in the Music Cave today. :-D

And Yep!, #417, and just about to post #418, not sure if they'll be visible at the moment, CBN is having picture viewing and posting issues ("AGAIN!") :-(

Comment by Richard Sundberg on January 31, 2021 at 9:14am: So if I understand, your sweaty wet playing in front of one of your fans. Brassy Bowl has a distinct presence, a growl with little effort. Excellent Alan, great sounding guitar. It’s a player and a keeper....ha....417 and going.

Comment by AGP # on January 29, 2021 at 10:30am: "Thanks Bob", these critters basically eat anything that is made out of Meat, heaven forbid if one ever ran up my leg, looking for some "Rocky Mountain Oysters" :-D

Comment by AGP # on January 29, 2021 at 10:20am: "Thanks Pick", the Brass Bowl does have a little bit of a ring to it unplugged, but very low in volume, which was an unexpected result when I first played it ;-(

Comment by AGP # on January 29, 2021 at 10:14am: "Thanks UJ", the main reason I turn the hat around, is to warn Dave to turn the volume down a bit

:-D

Comment by AGP # on January 29, 2021 at 10:12am: "Thanks Poorness", I'm always looking for something different in my builds, which is "Outside the Box" ;-D

Comment by AGP # on January 29, 2021 at 10:09am: "Thanks Dave", it's probably my main go to Tune, first one I ever learnt, and still my Fave, nice to see you like the Dirty version :-)

Comment by Bob "Ambrose" Negus on January 29, 2021 at 6:21am: It's got a good beefy tone! Excellent demo AGP! It looks great and that brass bowl is protecting your groin from lizard attacks!
