Greg

The easiest way would be to buy an amp module, try the LM386, link below, no soldering required. The transformer in the enclosure can be removed.

HELP! I have been able to scrounge some tannoy speakers that were being thrown out at work. 3 x9” speakers and 3 x7” speakers in wood boxes. They look great and should make nice cbg amps, but when it comes to building amps I am a complete newbie. I have downloaded some photos which I hope will give some of you experts out there an idea of what I need to do to convert them into something great . So please have a look and simple advice in plain English would be much appreciated. Lol.

Had the pleasure of being the opening act for Bob Log III on Saturday evening. He was also at the One Man Band fest. While not a CBG player, he is still absolutely barking bat**** mental, and has one fantastic playing style. For a hugely entertaining evening, I can't recommend catching him enough.

London One Man band festival in London with Dollar Bill and Hollowbelly free at the Blues Kitchen in Shoreditch.

TONIGHT - music on at 9.30.

Well,the small box ended up being a uke.

Not that easy to play with my fat arthritic fingers,but it's too good to turn for slide.

Pics in the Small box woes thread

Not doing any more of the little ones,it's full size with a big screaming humbucker next time.

Dave Dean, I recently got an echo. Alexa won't find "bemuzic" Once when I asked her she played BB KIng, lol! I can only get her to find it if I ask by album names...

Comment by Sleepy John on January 17, 2019 at 11:03am

Thanks too all of you for your comments.I'll have a go,and let you know!!

Comment by Slow Blues Dani & Ol' Grey Bear on January 17, 2019 at 8:13am

Comment deleted. My apologies for the previous comment but seems I'm as tech savvy as you John lol. First one up on your album as I play it on shuffle on Spotify is St James Infirmary. Dude, this is beyond awesome. That's the blues through to the Bone! 

Comment by Dave Dean on January 17, 2019 at 7:09am

I just asked Alexa to “play the album Chickenbone John” and it worked perfectly (I have Amazon Prime Music).

Sounds great John! Enjoy the royalties from me sticking it on repeat!

Comment by ChickenboneJohn on January 17, 2019 at 6:51am

As well as releasing my "Chickenbone John" CD, I've now gone digital, so you can download and listen  online via the steam-powered Interweb (I still haven't worked out where to put in the coal)..check out iTunes, Spotify, Deezer Amazon and a host of other online stuff that I don't really understand...
