Shane -

I'm having a three string CBG made and it will have a Flatpup pickup. I very much enjoyed your ART OF FALLING IN LOVE . . . video and especially like the tone you are getting from your guitar in that video. I'm currently using a small Mini-Cube amp but I'm looking for something better to use with my new guitar. What amp, keeping in mind that cost is a consideration, would you recommend to obtain the clarity of sound you are getting out of your box in the ART OF FALLING IN LOVE . . . video.

I was using a Roland MicroCube in that video!

Thank you for your comments!

Truly enjoyed this particular video, as you said, it covers musical capabilities of our CBG's so much better than the average cbg video. Great job!!!!! As soon as I can figure out how, it will be on our face book page: CBG Minded Michigan"ders. Thank you, my friend.
