Big Red got strung and wired today. Wow, what a deep rich tone and rumble from the center of the Earth. My best effort in box guitar sound. It's Tin's-O-Fun!

Thanks AGP. It sure has a voice! I picked the pickup for it's small size but it's got a big voice. I've wanted to ask you about the spring reverb. Is there anything hooked up to the spring? Or does the spring just vibrate and alter the tone on it's own?

I will try to record in garage band today after I do my Minn. sales tax reporting that is due today. I'm procrastinated into a corner on both accounts. I hate tax prep more n dental work.

Thanks guys. She is bigger n most houses in La La land. I played Red late into the night. Blew off a string when the bead holding my high string shattered. Made quite a pop! Probably shouldn't use glass bead string retainers. They look so nice though. I got the action down just right for easy fingering yet good pinkie slide work. I call it, Uncle John setup...

Thanks Uncle. Free kin fees. Got to jump through hoops to make a movie star outa me... I do need a bigger memory card. A Gift Memory card. I don't think my camera has sound as well as video. My desk top Mac has the equipment. Just needs a brain to drive it. Oily gave me some good ideas in a forum I started on how to do this stuff. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Good chance your camera will work for videos, Dave.   Try it just like you would with taking photos and uploading to the computer.   It may be you will need a bigger memory card.  Editing and uploading was hard for me to learn.   Then recently, some things changed on uploading and I had to re-learn.  Give it a try,

I use windows movie maker to edit.  Many computers come with it.   I can give you my phone number and maybe help you more.  My video consulting fee is 35 cents an hour.  That is about what I seem to make on CBGs.   I could give you the first hour free.
