Motoring the blues! Sounding and looking good Taffy.

Hi all, thanks for looking and making comments.

Thanks, Uncle John sounding funky at my age is good to hear, Haha.

Glad you enjoyed it Richard I just made it up on the fly.

Hi A D, I did not want to add too much effect, just to show the bare bones so to speak, with a bit of overdrive, but I know what you mean though.

Thanks, Will, it’s a great hubcap as the resonating top part is separated from an inner shell and suspended on those short spokes. So there is very little dampening effect from sitting on the body.

Poorness, praise indeed from the studio wizard himself.

AGP, thanks for the comments. I wish I could have found the other three caps.

Cheers Taff

"Ah Yes", I remember the lovely looking Sigma Hubcap Build from a little earlier in the year, you could shut  your eyes and think you were listening to someone playing a National Reso, sounds great Taffy :-)

Both the git and the playing sounds pretty darn good to me!

Sounding fantastic, Taffy.  Loud, proud, strutting and a little bit funky.
