Gibson Basses / Re: It takes a special kind of stupid...
« on: August 06, 2019, 06:18:46 AM »
I actually just bought one of their less expensive acoustic guitars, and was amazed at the fit, finish and setup. Flawless.

Could the Montana factory have a different quality control system?

My last two Gibson electrics from Nashville, I think (one guitar, one bass) were not even close when they arrived, but with a serious setup were fine.

I too am seeing this for the first time.  My condolences, and best wishes for the whole family. It's hard to lose Dad.

The Outpost Cafe / Mildewed case

Does anyone have a way to get a smelly old Fender tweed case to not smell so bad?

Windex got the outside looking good...Resolve got the fabric looking good, but it still stinks

For that matter, so does the guitar, but it's pretty much intact for an old guitar.

I like old country.

In my living room is a GFI pedal steel, and a 1960 Fender double 6 Stringmaster steel guitar.

Currently looking for an old double 8...Gibson or National...

I gig my EPI T Bird Pro

Fit and finish are perfect. So is fretwork.

I had to cut the nut slots down to the proper height. That's it.

I have been using a Cube 100 lately.

It sounds good with bass, guitar, and steel guitar.

A lot lighter than the Ampeg B 100R

Thee was a guy in town years back...maybe 30 years...I think he teaches at Eastman now...

He played one through a B15 for a big band...Carmen Deleone's big band. I always thought it sounded wonderful... I have great memories of that sound at the Viking lounge.

agreed about passive tone...

I have started to control tone with the pups...

I generally like a 2 pickup bass, and slightly back off the bass pickup, so the bridge dominates.  If I need darker I increase the bass pickup volume.

I have been using the LaBella low tension flexible flats for a couple years now.  I love them.

He (Mr. Remington) does a couple tunes with Ms Cashdollar on "Slide Show"...very smooth playing.

I love how he does all the harmonized solo lines...
