there are quite a few you tubes post on different cbg's.

some sound nice and some not so nice.

when you read some comments hey what strings are you using ,what tune .

from what I can gather most cbg's are tuned GDg and yet give different sound.

now why don't these cbg's players come clean and say it is the amplifier or other gizmo's that create the sounds that were are hearing.

I've got three cbg's and none sound like these on you tubes.

so what is the secret? 

is the pick up?

is the strings?

or is the amps etc.

That was me tweaking Way by interjecting stuff from the "What Is Mojo?" thread. Go read the entire thing, and you'll get it ;-)

If you're going for the sound of the box then sure there are a lot of other considerations. I was only talking about electric guitars and stand guilty of neglecting the acoustic side of things.

I agree about relying on distortion though.

Cheers.

LOL

Patrick,I've got this solid body build over here that doesn't have strings yet, I plugged it in and sounds like...

Now I'm suspecting that just maybe when I do put those strings on there the sound out of the amp will change.

I'm pretty certain that if you could pop over to the house and we both played the same song on it without changing any settings the sound would be measurably different. Couple of pints with some good food later and the sound would change still more.

I'd love to find out one day Robert, over a few pints perhaps.

I find my consumption of alcohol has a direct effect on the sound of my playing.

In my head it sounds great, in reality it's a pile of poo.

There's a lyric in there, Hedley...

Maybe the continuing story of a guy who walks into a bar, sees a hot little number sitting alone on a stool, walks manfully up, and opens his mouth...;-)
