Nice Gamba Samba !

She's very pretty, even with her battle scars. Need to get the fingerboard extended again though.

Also a revolution solo pickup through an ampeg cl and 8x10 cab. Right behind me, not one bit of feedback at all. Sounded great both pizz and arco.

I can almost hear the way she will sound ! She has the most fantastic proportions - how deep are those ribs !! ...look like 9 inchers to me !!

BTW whats the deal with needing the FB extending ?

[fatgoogle]

I can only stop an A but ideally really need to get to a B for some of the solo concerto's. I originally couldn't even stop a G so had it extended to an A but now..... Ill probably see if i can have a curved solo extension added. Also it's nice when you have to play harmonics up high to have some visual representation on the fingerboard of where they'll be.

Yeah she's pretty big. It was sold to me as a 3\4 size when i didn't know but its closer to 4/4 or 7/8's in size.

[stingrayPete1977]

Why no hat though?

Here's another one, featuring my yita bow. I bring it to gigs like these and keep the Bizan for orchestral and completely acoustic gigs.

Jake really liked my Yita bow, he confirmed my suspicion that it is my awful technique that is to blame rather than the bow, of course Jake gave me a few pointers which should get me going though.

Great photo of the Yita bow. I've heard good reviews from pretty much everyone I know who's bought one. Great value too.

There good bows. I'd really like to compare it to a finale.

+1 I think bows are really hard to get hold of and compare so I always love to try new ones out. Especially as I play German which you tend to see less often.

Took these last night at the filming of a short promotional video we are making. Was a lot of fun

[timbo1978]

[timbo1978]

Last Sunday with Ivo Neame. Bad hair (it was really hot) and bad left arm technique!! I need to watch that!!

[TPJ]

Shot of my BSX Allegro 5 string in Nijmegen, NL a few weekends ago. It was hot that day.

Many will observe the similarity between my photograph here and my avatar. This is not a coincidence. I really like the sound of one particular note on the C string and only ever play that note. It is my gig so no-one complains but I never get booked anywhere else.

So you just play the opening riff to 'Watcher of the Skies' on C for the entire gig?
