Thats awesome! I can’t imagine how wonderful it would be to perform with one of my children – get her her own mic!

Jam 400 is pretty nice – just a bit of a lug carry around –

I have been working hard on my music room – it has a solid masonry wall facing south, and poor ventilation, so it gets pretty uncomfortable in the summer evenings. But I ordered and installed a Mr Cool mini-split, and now I have cool or heat, as needed! All it took was coring a 3.5″ hole through 13″ of brick and concrete filled CMUs – But its all OK when you only have to look back at it –

Need to set up for practice tonite –

Musta been my evil twin –

I’m IN!

Mugs have not been forgotten! But they were put on the back-burner until SCGC got their mug out (can’t upstage them!) so we’ll have to re-visit this one very soon –

I’d play it that way for a while – it changes the way the guitar hangs, it’s center of gravity so-to-speak. You can always add a strap button later. I mean, it looks like you’ve already got it –

You might also try a “Neck-Up” – it’s another really nice way to hold the guitar, but it only works when you’re seated –

I was having the exact same thought!

Santa Cruz does maple so incredibly well, yet (it seems) so incredibly infrequently – and they do get so much better with age!

[tadol]

Yeah – but when cost is no object, I’ll still put it into the guitar instead of the pickup –

[tadol]

Yes –  yes it would –

A really enjoyable guy to talk to! Hope he books a couple dates out here when he picks up his guitar!

Did you do any recordings to hear how that sounds to an audience? Gotta remember, the FTC is not designed to provide optimal sound for the player –

[tadol]

Wow – that’s a very beautiful FTC!  I would love to hear some other players on those guitars – I could listen to Catfish for hours, but his style is so unique and specific, I don’t think it really highlights the capabilities of the Firefly or the FTC –

I am firmly in the UltraTonic camp – James May has designed a neat little circuit that, combined with an extra output disc, gets the best possible feedback-free and well-balanced output I’ve heard. When I heard what it was able to do with my Santa Cruz baritone, I decided it was the only way to go. It has the advantage of no battery, easily tuned for the guitar its installed in, a soundhole volume control that doesn’t modify the tone, and offers a simple retrofit kit if you already have a K&K installed. I recommend it highly –
