Hi,

Just thought I'd mention that I've just bought a used fender '59 bassman reissue.  Made in '95 and has the blue frame  eminence speakers.  I pick it up tomorrow.  I am very excited.

Hello,

I have only G harmonica, can I still effectively go through all the lessons on Level 1? Or which key would you recommend to get to take most out of this course?

Thanks,

 

Seemingly in-Heumann custom wood mic

Just got my custom wood mic from Greg Heumann (BlowsMeAway).  Just tremendous to have something this beautiful that is also so functional.  Stunning.  I can't think of anything I've ever owned that matches the craftsmanship.  The tone is fantastic -- first word that comes to mind is SMOOTH.

My wife won't let me replace the Japanese vase in the front window with it, so will just keep it plugged into the amp at all times.  

Check it out!! continue reading...

Tube change on Fender "Evil" Twin

Hi,

Before I sell it and buy a Bassman or something, I want to see if I can make my fender '94 (evil) twin amp harmonica friendly(ish).

I read that Charlie Musselwhite played a red knob twin with no tube changes so this gives me hope that I can play with my twin till I decide on which to change to in the future, skills and experience quite obviously make a massive difference. continue reading...

Roland Blues Cube

I was all set to buy a Laney Cub 10 having looked at David's reviews only to then discover that they don't make them anymore. I then had a look at the VHT Special 6 but these are not widely available in the UK. Moving away from genuine tube amps I was wondering if anyone has used a Roland Blues Cube? They seem to be well reviewed by guitarists.

Hi All,

Has anyone experienced the lone wolf harp train 40 amp head?

It seems attractive as it's affordable and designed for harmonica use.  I wonder why it's not mentioned at all?

What do you think of the Supro Blues King series? 8 10 or 12" speaker 

I tried a 10 and I was pretty impressed. I also liked the fact that it sounds great for guitar without changing tubes

I hope David can review some of these newer amps soon

thanks

Has anyone had any experience with the new Laney cub 10 super series for harmonica?

 I know David rated the original cub 10 pretty highly and I'm wondering about this newer version vs the  Fender Pro Jr
