Larry Carlton played at Union Chapel in Islington, London (in 2017), a regular concert venue. The interior is mostly wood. The sound team were terrific at getting a good sound and the band were the pinnacle of freelancers: I noticed that Larry mos…

The forum seems so quiet that I thought I could add a bit but as it is not strictly only about my new mini pedalboard I have renamed the topic and moved it to personal diaries. Sorry about the photo not having my guitar in it, or even better, of …

Nice day out, it seems. There are plenty of good reviews of the AS83, here. And I am sure you get around, Megi as there is talk on jazzguitar.be about upgrading the pickups and a certain Meggy of Lincolnshire had a thing or two to say, here. I pa…

That sounds like a great problem to have. I hope all bands, gigs and pantos go well for everyone involved.

Yesterday I was messing about with playing my parlour acoustic through this new little pedalboard and into an Alto TS110 powered speaker and had an idea for a DIY soundhole plug (based on those rubbery covers to reduce feedback problems) as the only…

Miriam, my wife, does indeed play; she is a piano player and teacher. In the photo we were performing together at her school's end of the school year concert in 2016. We play regularly (twice a month) in a local group where Miriam plays keys and I …

About 2 years ago I sold my Jazz bass to try my hand at 5 strings and active electronics. I discovered that neither really suit me and so, after thinking about my old bass for some time, I contacted the chap I sold it to just say that if he ever w…

Good for him. I hope it inspires him further.

Happy Christmas, Kevin, and everyone else.

Aha. Thanks, Kevin.

Mahogany top; that must have a nice, warm sound, warmer than cedar?
-
Nick, sort of but I am having another look. The red DI box in the 3rd of my opening photos has a speaker sim built in, as does another DI box I have. I have no amp sim and so I tend to add my MXR 10-band EQ (in the first photo) and top and tail the …

(I just hope he doesn't bring a bag of washing as is usual.) A bag of washing would be better than him coming home and showing you his new Martin that he bought during the autumn term!

I wonder whether a decent sound system partially depends to some extent on the group's decision to have everyone plug into DI boxes, Bose L1s or similar or to have a traditional backline. A friend in the USA has his band plugging in everything dire…

It sounds like he has entered the Eric Johnson zone.

Nice choice, Tel. I have never heard a bad-sounding Martin.

Black Friday in the UK is the last Friday before Christmas. I believe the tradition started because miners would go Christmas shopping straight from work, without washing first. Do we need to import a US retail day that also happens to be called Bl…

I know what you mean: I sold my Gibson Les Paul partly because 4.8kg was impractically heavy for me for the length of a whole gig.

Aha, that's Steve Krenz, my guitar teacher, on the right!

When I was a bit too young to really appreciate who I was being taken to see, a friend took me to a Joe Pass concert and one by Oscar Peterson. Amazing players.

Sure, give an address for me to send it to via a PM. I will post it on Monday and it should take about a week to get to you.

That sounds fantastic. Well done on getting the part.

Hard to imagine over £1,000 difference in price! I recently watched an interview with Paul Reed Smith. He said that there is little difference between a $2,000 guitar and a $200 guitar as they both have all the same principle parts; except that the …

... found in a skip. I find it hard to believe that someone would throw a guitar into a skip. Great work on making it playable, Jocko.

I have read (here) that Henry will not so much be out of Gibson, just out of his role as CEO. He got a bonus of $1.5m (for selling TEAC) and will get a salary of $2.1m for the next year as a consultant to Gibson (which, by the way, just happens to b…

Drilling wood will have the same rule as sawing wood: measure twice, cut once, so your checking all the possibilities before deciding is wise. All I would say is that if in the Gibson position it does not hang properly then surely that cannot be the…

In the Stew-Mac article Where's the best spot for your strap button? I use position no. 5.

That is an interesting track, Mark, with each instrument sounding lovely and the combination of them together sounding very experimental. The bass does indeed sound warm and full yet in no way vague, as I would have expected.
