No sustain to speak of, just a dull thud, but through vox amp and 18" drivers it was a big thud :)"

The violin bass belonged to Gordon who's holding my sister's tambourine. We worked together many times over the past 40 years but no more since his untimely death a few years ago. BTW the bass sound off that thing was dreadful. :)

rayinstirling commented on Edward Sparks's group Takamine Owners Group"I didn't know they've discontinued the acoustic model, I better hold on to it although I've sold the electric.

(also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"yes Jud,and it was an English teacher rather than a music teacher got me started and within a year I was in a folk group performing along side the greats of the late sixties folk scene here in Scotland.

Ray ... the gift wrapped guitar is the Seagull I gave to my son last Christmas. He is a newbie guitarist at the age of 25 and he's picking things up pretty fast considering. I love acoustic guitars and if I wasn't so inundated with family expenses and obligations, I'd have 20-30 of them I'm sure. Luckily for my family, I am able to resist it becoming a uncontrolable addiction, LOL.
Here's me back in the day ... not quite as high profile as you, but we had a lot of fun!
