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.

Reminded of a story i heard or read somewhere about BB King - he'd done a show and was back in his dressing room with a visiting fan, the guy looks over at "Lucille" propped up in the corner of the dressing room and says " hey that guitar sounds fantastic, amazing guitar" to which BBK replies "she don't sound too good right now does she" .... ;-
It's the player that makes the sound, the equipment is how he gets there.
LOL sure, that's what you say now.
If everybody was always in agreement there would be no discussions, no advancements, and things would get boring in a hurry.
thanks anonymous pick.
cheers ;-)
I too have a Swamp Witch Guitar. It's got a really good sound to it. Completely different from any other guitar I have. And it also sounds differently threw the pedals as well. Much closer to a single coil than a piezo.
For a really great sound reference listen to as many of the un amped vids on this site as you can.
cheers rat , glad you are enjoying it ;-)
Ron, you say some crazy shit man. What the hell does that mean?
