well, Bill Conklin hasn't done the show in a few years. we had my new Conklin in the Nordstrand Pickups booth and I saw Dave Wood, an 8 string guitarist from NYC, playing a few places. ran into quite a few Conklin players, too.
does anyone know if John Turner made the show?
Stew, Dave Wood wouldn't happen to be the guy playing guitar for that last American Idol winner would it? I saw a vid of a conklin player with him recently that had an 8 string guitar on a stand next to him.
thinking the same thing a day or so into the show. I didn't see him, but then again, I was running around a bunch....does anyone know if John Turner made the show?
What are the controls?
v-v-t-b-m-t?

close, but there are some other hidden features:
Volume(pull up for Passive), Blend, Tone (pull up for Single Coil), Treble, Mid @ 400hz (pull up for 800hz), Bass=![]()

J -raj, you look like a younger, and yes, more handsome version of my oncologist, Dr. Sunnil Sharma. Which is ok, I love that guy!![]()
The F# and B were definitely very present and tight on that Sage. The 9 string Bennie was also a very comfortable ERB:I dig that 10, Jairaj. did you check out how responsive the F# and B strings are on that bass? yow!
glad you're diggin' the Nordy, man! told you she's a honey!
