Thanks for the kind feedback

Hi Steve, 

It's good to have you back -whether for a pop in visit or more steadily.   I am fine.  Still building some.   Still making videos.   I have moved into big box tenors for a lot of my playing and I am getting more chances to play locally.   A lot of the CBG folks and roots music folks have moved to Facebook - or do both FB and CBN.

Hi, I'd like to talk about a 4-string build, cheers.

I have some tuned to DF#ad and some GDgb, but the D tuning sounds the best on the fours. On the 3's I like DAd to get the spooky blues sound. The boxes are small so the lightest strings seem to work the best

thank you steve, i only been doing this 6 months or so, great hobby lets you get creative and end up with something good lookin' and useful to boot

sorry didn't reply earlier the comment wall is way down the page.

Hello Steve,

It's this Friday night I'm going to the Barge so it aint me who's triggered his memory...Chicken Bone's playin so the guy may have heard this in a sober moment and remembered  wanting a Dogfinger 3-stringer...if I see him there I'll mention it.

Kev.

Thanks for the welcome Steve.

Love my Line 6, Picked it up at a boot sale for £20, nearly broke his wrist giving him the money !!!

What a classic! I still don't know how I could miss that. Trust me on that one "eternal blue" is still one of my all time favourites. I guess I have to tell some of my stuck-in-the-eighties friends. Good to see you still have a taste in music.

Hi Steve, thanks for the note. I've got an awful lot from your picture and your description - dowel through the sides, I would never have thought of that either. And cheers for the comments, Tarantino indeed! I'm dining out on that one.

My favourite "double entendre" lyrics are from a song by the US blues band Better Off Dead. The song purports to be about a juke joint, but the chorus is:

Liquor at the front

Poker round the back

A parking place for my pink Cadillac

:-O

ah yeah, really easy. It comes all wired up so you just have to drill some holes and put it all together. Don't think they do that one any more, but they're bringing out a new one, which Wes Carl did a demo of recently. It's pretty expensive with postage from the US though...the last one I bought got stopped and I had to pay tax and holding fee too : -/

Just done an amp by buying a cheap busker amp from eBay and taking it apart and putting it in aCigar Box (I put some pics on my page of it today)
