I just came here to point that out.

If it were a 4-string, I'd already have bought it. That one looks new.

I work at the NBC station here in Columbia.
Some cats I play with were passing thru town, and short a bass player, so I sub'ed for them on this local talk show we do here.
If I can get the clips on youtube, I will; and sometimes this show streams highlights of the show.

I played the gold P/J thru an swr baby blue II 2x8+5.
 
It's "just country stuff," and not really wehre a P/J strung with rounds shines, but what the heck. I think it'll be streaming at the "Pepper and Friends" section of www.komu.com sometime after 1pm central.
I got clients to go deal with tho, and then two other shows, with two other bands to take care of tonight...what a cool day!

Y'all report back so I know how it sounded over the inter-web, mmm'kay?
 
Here's the link, and stuff...
The young kid is one of the guys in the Ironweed Bluegrass Band...we just got awarded a grant from The Friends of China here to go play the Tsingtao Beeer Festival in China...
2 million people attended last year!
Here's the link, go to the Pepper and Friends home page inside www.komu.com, click on the KOMU ON DEMAND watch video button if this link doesn't work...:

Hey Chef!

That was some Fine playing! Perfect playing form, you weren't staring at your fingerboard, and you got your licks in! (Still no drums in the Grand Ol' Opry though...)

I played in a country band during the "Urban Cowboy" era, and I learned to have a lot of respect for CBGB players. (Country, Blue Grass, & Blues) Especially the discipline and use of melodies to create good music. In the Speed Metal, Hard Core world that I came from, it was all Volume & Velocity.

Thanks for sharing that with us!
 
That sorta thing is still all new to me, and not at all my forte; thanks for the props;)

I'm really much more of a jazz, blues, and r&b guy.

The guitar player is 73, and has played with many, many country folks from the Grand Ole Opry heyday.
The kids kinda splits his time b/t here and Nashville, and while I don't know any of the names he was rattling off, he was on the road with that guy that "sang the Ford Truck commercial" last year, if I remember right-which I might not, as I really don't know jack about country....
 
That link is old enough now you have to go to the drop down menu and look for the links with "Jake Clayton" in them. He's the fiddle/dobro guy...

Again, thanks for lookin'.
 
5L alert!!

I just noticed it on this site. Listed, no other info:

After a cortisone shot in each wrist yesterday, I might be selling my 5L "Ugly Fish" at some point. For some reason, that extra neck width and string just does a number on me. I never feel it while I'm playing but a few hours later :eek: Getting old SUCKS :mad: I need to preserve my wrists or I'll be out of business :hmm:
 
Thanks to FL Knifemaker, it appears I'm joining the club with the "Ugly Fish":

I'm not so great on five, but maybe this will be the one that sells me on putting away the four-stringers. Or, maybe I'll have to add a four-string Reverend to the equation at some point.

In any case, I can't wait to give it a spin.
