My Band on TV This Morning!!!!!!!

[Ampig]

We played on the 7:00 news show this morning. Pretty cool.
The Delvers Live on Fox 43 News

Can you guys hear the bass?

[Steve Swan]

Is that Dave Merrill formerly of Merrill Brothers guitars?

[jordie65]

congratulations! that would have been some great publicity for your group

[Ampig]

Steve,
Yes. The same Dave Merrill. The center guitar is a "Merrill Brothers" model. The one on the right is a "DR Merrill" (Dave Merrill) guitar. Dave's guitars are (IMHO) nicer than his brother's and less expensive. He's a true craftsman and his wood working skills are magnificent. He also wrote the second tune.

[Nagrom]

Nice job lads. Have a great show tonight.

[CamMcIntyre]

Nice job, sounds good.

The bass is pretty light to my ears, but you can tell that it's there.

[BigOldHarry]

Those AM calls for local news shows is a *real* experience. I've done a few, and there's nothing quite as amusing as seeing the young wanna-be anchor people going through their poses at 6:30 in the morning...

Yeah, I and can't hear the bass at all... but it's nice looking instrument - just what I'd love to have for a jazz act (yeah, I know that blonde basses are supposed to be for bluegrass/rockabilly - but i'm a rebel!)

[Ampig]

Thanks guys.
The bass is an Englehart EM-1 that's been refitted with an ebony fingerboard, custom bridge and K&K stereo pickup.

I could have sworn that that was Tobey Maguire playing the guitar! It sounds like you guys play an interesting mix of music. I liked the tune for the second song--was that an original? It almost sounded like an old time tune with new lyrics.

[Ampig]

Thanks. Both tunes were originals
