Yeah, he's never into it. I wish he'd show a little more enthusiasm.

I think his best performance was in the nighttime Scarlett vid on YT... Bombs away

This would be a great submission for The Dead Covers Project ... Really grate stuff all around jim

You guys got it going on mijknahs... Your tone, playing and singing is real good to man.

Thanks guys. I'm not really pursuing the Dead Covers Project thing. I personally think that should be more for "unique" interpretations of GD songs. Solo, ukulele, etc. Maybe I'll try a solo banjo version of some song...

Nice jobs!

What's your rhythm player's rig?

tnx,

Sounds real nice. I like the B3 sound your keyboard player is getting, what's he using?

Hi Michael,

Nick is playing an Ibanez Musician modified with a middle single coil and switches to have all pickups "on". The core of his amp sound is the IVP preamp. I don't know what power amp he's using. Maybe an old Crest. His cab has Eminence Commonwealths.

Hi Vic,

Thanks. Steve is using one of those new Hammond XK keyboards. No Leslie though.

I see you are playing a "Liger" from Phred instruments. How is it? How much was it and would you recommend one?

Thanks. I thought I saw an IVP as well as an Ibanez UE400/405 too. The power amp & speakers were an unknown.

Fred did stop by and I tried his prototype for a few tunes (Birdsong, Cassidy but not this clip). It played nice and sounded great. Different sound but still good. It was a light guitar. Maybe more like playing an SG with a longer scale length. I enjoyed playing it and it would make a good backup guitar for me.

Just listened to the whole jam this morning...Wow. Sounded fantastic. Your tone is dead on...and your rhythm players as well...thanks for sharing.

Excellent! Bravo! Bravo!
