It should have a lot more basses as they get the time upload them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Popped around to our local blues club jam last night. I normally take my Fender for some exercise and so I can leave it around for anyone to play. However last night I was meeting a possible musical collaborator who is of Italian descent so I took the Wood & Tronics. Seemed apt. Despite the rather under-powered amp the W&T cut through nicely and sounded pretty good when someone else picked it up rather than the designated jam bass ( ) So still happy [url="http://www.wtbasses.net/home.aspx"]Wood and Tronics[/url] site's being added to too. Worth a click just for the gorgeous instrument currently on the home page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark[/quote] Actually it's interesting how different mine is to the [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/WT_Stock_Ergon_Black.html"]Black W&T Ergon[/url] you have at Bass Direct. Are you planning to put the BGM review of it up on your site? There were a few friendly wolf whistles at the jam however there's a regular attendee playing a very different old, and probably custom, fretless that is also weird compared to a Fender so they'd been softened up It's far from traditional blues type gathering anyway as one of the core team plays one of those odd angular Music Man Albert Lee guitars.. Despite the very high standard of playing of many of the usual attendees it's the friendliest jam session I know with a bunch of 16 or 17 year olds there regularly, some can play, one can [i]really[/i] play... and some can't manage much beyond a bit of slide, but they are still encouraged to have a go.

OldGit Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 After long and careful thought, a fair few outings and many discussions with Enrico I'm going to change the pickups on my Ergon. Dolf is making me an "even more" traditional P/J set as the orginals are just a tad too hi-fi for me. Enrico is a prefectionist though and anything that causes any drop from 100% happy from his clients fires him into action. So I'm just waiting for the replacements to arrive. This will be a no-cost change. All part of the great customer service and care you get with these guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocco Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Where is Rosa these days? I had the pleasure of taking her for a test drive when I picked my ole P up from Si. What a thing of beauty she is. I hope wherever she is she is being respected and a fitting tribute to Si. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
