Hi Uncle John. I just watched your photos slide show. I could see our friendship grow over time. Just wanted to let you know how much I value that smile of yours. Thanks friend. And your guitars make me smile and tickle my ears.
Thanks for the comments. Just got my first CBG earlier this year, but I've been playing bass since my late teens. And yes... I flew up to STL for the fest this year. Glad I did. ;-)
Thanks UJ ! Glad you think that way! You know we try! and when a new one is finish you get this over vieuw from builds before , and then you see this pattern in the hurde, thats how it came about ! Greeeeeettsszz A.D.
Hi John. Thanks for the kind comment. I use a vox valvetronix ad50 vt xl amp. it sounds wonderful!!! For practice, I use a Chord amp, small and no fancy effects. Just reverb and a clean sound.
You call that a lynas Tail, its a part from a salad dryer, i took apart, have about 10-12 pieces of them! was fretting this afternoon, but run out of glue,
and had to get the Car in for periodical checkup need new shocks, gone cost me! be reading you Have to get to bed !Greeeeeetsszz A.D.
Thanks for the kind words on the box!...I drew that Hosanna art and added it to the box myself, it was quite a bit of work envolved, i didn't think anyone would even notice!...I am glad you did!
Thanks for the nice comments! I need to post some neck photos...if I don’t here, I will send them to you on FB.
Pandora online? I haven’t tried that. I used to listen to some blues stations on 365 a year or two ago. I love custom/fan made stations. I’ve actually wanted to start a local blues station on AM/FM, but just too much money needed to be involved and I don’t have it.
Ill look into Pandora! Thank you for telling me about it.
