Jim Swalley replied to higgs's discussion Looper advice needed"No, I don't. I remember he showed me the small cardboard box with the name "Band in a Box" on it, but I don't know who makes it. The unit is small and I didn't see a manufacturer name. I've googled it,…"
Jim Swalley replied to higgs's discussion Looper advice needed"It is a small box that he sets in arm's reach to start the loops. I believe the guitar and mic are plugged into the box and the output cable goes to his amp. He uses a footswitch cabled to the box to start the loops. He makes…"
Jim Swalley replied to higgs's discussion Looper advice needed"You might want to consider "Band in a Box." A soloist friend has one and uses it with good effect. He records two short loops and activates them with the floor pedal. He calls his virtual group "Me, Myself, and…"
Jim Swalley commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Bob Taylor made a couple of dozen guitars out of shipping pallets, so maybe a 2x4 board would work. Trex deck planking, maybe."

Jim Swalley replied to Ian Roberts's discussion Nut width on Seagull parlor models in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I think you have to step up to the Folk sizes to get the 1.8 nut. And you're right - you need to try it out to decide."
Jim Swalley commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Ray - Your comment about Congress is spot on. I used to think the 112th Congress was the most useless we've ever had. Now, it seems the 113th is vying for the title of most useless. And maybe that's the silver lining for…"

Jim Swalley replied to David Kellems's discussion New Memebr awaiting new guitar..."Just saw your pic with the new guitar. Nice! From the look on your face, you should name it "My Precioussss."
If we don't hear from you on this forum for a while, we'll understand the reason why. Happy…"

FWIW, they used to include gig bags but they changed their pricing policy in January to match GC, which was $419 and couldn't afford to give away gig…"
Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Sounds reasonable. I paid $419 for mine recently and it is the going price on GC website. I was only able to get a cheap, slightly used Roadrunner bag (my other Roadrunner is more padded) thrown in on the deal. I guess the shipping…"
