Found it funny Jeff was in first class and everyone else in economy.
Of everything I have read on this board, this line disturbs me greatly.

I was at a hipster bar here in Louisville over the weekend and one of the bands playing that night were warming up with "Love theme from Kiss." Myself and one other guy recognized what it was. We were very excited, but our friends thought we were crazy.
Cold Gin please...

Sansone is the clear winner here. Nels is such a great guitarist, but his weakness has always been noodling under pressure, haha. Pats totally in control, doesn't even look like he's trying, and completely owns Nels because of it.
But we could have sort of figured that. Now, Tweedy vs. Sansone? THAT'S a fair fight
pat seems far more natural. nels is a genius but i just get the feeling he has really had to work at it whereas pat always seems more in control
ao i pat owns nels and pat v jeff is a fair fight, does that mean you think jeff nels?
-
Not sure if this has been posted before but the "duel" around 2:28 is brilliant. I might get killed round here for saying this but I give it to Pat 12 hot licks and 14 hammer ons to Nels 11 and 9.

Can you link us to the photos...most articles ive found document it as a National...again, Im sure its a dynamic

Its most certainly a National... Nels talks about it quite a bit in a few articles. A link to a story when he was one the road with the Singers

To me though, it does look like the fret board of a New Yorker but the body of a Dynamic...
I havent seen a Dynamic with a plain fret board before... -
pretty sure its a national new yorker
-
Hi there... so around 215 in the vid below sounds vibraphone type sounds kick in... i assume its the Nord? I am pretty keen on getting a MicroKorg... can they do something similar? They can approximate the blips and blops and squelches... how about the vibes?

Gibsons are great recording guitars (as are Martins). Have a 60s Hummingbird, J160E and a J35... currently debating the purchase of a 50s LG1... If you can find one for the right price go for it. But yes, play the bugger first!!
-
It's never just a Bassman, or a Deville, or a Hotrod.. It's always some fancy, rare, vintage, absurdly expensive amp.
like the custom shop tweed twin... @ usd3,500
-
My guess is that it's an old Club and Country, like the one SRV used to play. I think that and the SF Twin he has are used for keyboards and the Matchless is his guitar amp.
Could be wrong...
hmm, dont think so as those had controls on the front panel of the combo. so its not the silver jub either. perhaps an older jmp combo?
-
What sort of Marshall is Pat using? 25th Anniversary yeah?
heres another angle of the tweed thing
-
i play with two other guitarists (rhythm), a pedal steel and banjo. any frequency nerds here that could give an evaluation of the ranges these instruments typcially sit in? and from that, any recommendations for a range i could use an eq pedal to get into this range?
-
So used to seeing him with a lovely vintage piece... but have no idea what on earth this is...
-
what a weekend. met one set of heroes - olsen and louris - and then learn of another's passing....
RIP Jay and sending thoughts to your family and friends. -
Dunno... I am really enjoying it as an album... BUT... I am just not sure it is gelling with me as a Wilco album... you have such amazing musicians .... Kotche and Nels et al... but they just dont seem to be 'there'... a floursih here, a signature drum roll there... but...the album just sounds like a Tweedy solo expedition... dunno. Its a great album... but ... dunno.

Yup on the bridges.
have always had stock JM and Jag bridges on mine... part of the charm
have heard some people using gibbo tunematics... -
You can see what looks like a bit of the original finish peeking out near the bridge on the treble side. Perhaps sunburst? It looks like alder with a mahogany stain. Kind of Elvis Costello like. Dig the weird bridge too. I've never seen a mustang one like that.
Bridge is a Mastery Bridge the latest greatest bridge all the kool kidz are using... Nels, Jeff, Sonic Youth etc etc.
-
it most certainly is a collection of bits and pieces. the pickup is an original PAF, body orig, neck orig but most of the rest is replacement, bitzah type stuff
-
I kinda like it despite its weirdness on various levels
-
Here's a youtube video demonstrating the pedal:
holy crap. he is scary alright. sounds like he is a clwon performing to 3 yr olds
-
I could help be think of Jeff's aversion to shaving when I saw this. He's totally in now!
havent beards been back in for about 5 years now?
-
ok first up i am not american so pls beare with me... what i dont understand is why u2 and other non-us bands play at such a thing like the inauguration of a us president? i get the whole international goodwill thing but really... why?
-
What a great band name...now that they have abandoned it, someone else should use it.
LouieB
i thought they abanoned it because it had already been used?

smart business move fender... increase prices at a time when noone is buying...
the used market is indeed where its (always been) at.

has anyone been to korea (by korea i mean sth)? It is not a third world country and has some of the highest manufacturing standards anywhere in the world. taiwan is also pretty first rate. however the mainland, is pretty random. i used to work in the bicycle industry and the factories there are hideous. lack of safety and suitable training are the norm and the pursuit of a profit over ethics is standard. whether fender or gibson or whomever in the guitar world are uber stringent i dont know...
