That's exactly right Jim - come on down and spread the word. They have live music on Monday nights because its an off night for the theatre district., but you usually don't get to hear music like this and see Jody up close in great acoustics and surroundings.
Thx

Tom -

Yes sir, that's what I was saying. I absolutely want you to have first opportunity to make a deal. In the event that does not happen, I would appreciate consideration in a backup position. Not trying to interfere. My search began only recently.

Respectfully

Happy pickin and tone search

Thanks for the links. The Harvey Gerst piece really sets out the facts and has some great stories.
The F was for Fenders and the 140 was specifically designed for bass. There's more, of course. Right on Richard.

There's so much stuff on the web about these speakers it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. The consensus is the K is a bass speaker but I've also seen that the F is a beefed up model suitable for bass. I used to have a twin for guitar with D120s back in early 70s but never geeked out unti...

JBL for steel - what model is best?

Thinking about trying a JBL cab. And a Webb amp. What model works best in your experience? D130, 130E, F, K? The Fs were designed for bass but I see them being used for steel as well. Certainly a lot will depend on the nature of the amp driving it. Peavey 400, Webb, Fender etc. May want a second cab...

Rittenberry Market Price

I recently listed my one-year old D-10 for $3150 shipped and sold it within 48 hours. While the sale was pending I received a private email offering $3,300. The sale was closed with the first buyer, as a deal's a deal. Point being, the guitar was probably listed below market for quick sale, which wa...
