That’s great news John. Something to look forward to. Will you use the Slade Rooms again. Was a really good venue for the last two Boxstocks.
I know it's a bit quiet in here , and seems like for us Europeans and UK folks Cigar Box Nation is not quite the force it used to be, but I thought I'd make a quick post. Boxstock will make a return, but as it's knocking on a bit, it may well go to spring 2020 rather than autumn 2019. We've had a very busy year so far, what with just doing Glasto, and a few other festivals coming up (Mostly Jazz, Birmingham Jazz, Deershed, Cuxhaven CBG Weekend) and some super-exciting news about a BBC film project possibly coming to fruition (I've seen the secret preview, and man it rocks!). In the meantime we've got some new lines of merch - a groovy new Japanese inspired tee shirt https://www.chickenbonejohn.com/collections/chickenbonejohn-merchan... and a cool new Cigar Box Guitar enamel badge. https://www.chickenbonejohn.com/collections/chickenbonejohn-merchan...
Had the good fortune to get tickets to see Samantha Fish at the Sage in Gateshead last night,she was brilliant!
She played a CBG several times during her set,those who dismiss these guitars as "not a real guitar" or "a novelty" should hear her play.
If you can get tickets for one of her other UK dates grab them,you won't be disappointed.
She is supported by Curse of Lono,a great band,but they only play mass produced guitars
Has anyone tried using a standard humbucker,the type with 2 pups together,on a 3 string CBG, but with the pup lengthways under the strings?
Or at an angle,like the bridge pup on a strat,so that all the poles are under the strings.?
I haven't described it very well but I hope you know what I'm talking about.
If anyone is looking to buy a 3 string fretted CBG I've just listed one on eBay. It's a nice instrument made by Marshall Stapleton with handmade magnetic pickup. I hardly play it now as I tend to use ones I've made myself. Having a bit of a de clutter! CLICK HERE FOR FULL DETAILS
David, then short answer is that I haven't, bit I have built a couple from bits. They were really basic and worked very well. One will drive my twin 1960's 12 inch Celestion Greenback cabinet really well.
I think this guy takes a 386 to the ultimate. His site gives many options . I aim to try to build one of his over the summer
Thanks guys for the advice. I have ordered some LM386’s , so when they eventually arrive I’ll let you know how I get on.
Denis
Have you used this amp, if so any good?
Greg, if you don't mind waiting a while you could try one of these from China on eBay for £1.25.
Just search "386 amplifier" on eBay
Greg see kink below
