Einar, I am curious what amp you are using? Is it that fender twin behind you? Sounds so good! I have been listening to these tunes lot, I really love how your band has interpreted these songs.

Daniel, it's an early 70s Vibrolux with the original Oxford speakers. I had more powerful Webers in there for years but the Oxfords sound really sweet when high volume isn't needed. I used an Xotic EP booster on Flamingo and Mapuana and a JR Barnyard from The Nocturne Brain on Song of the Islands and Hawaiian Ripple. Thanks again.

I could hear her singing before I freed her from the box. What a voice! Congrats Todd on the new shop. This Elektro is a perfect compliment to her husky brother. — gotta go practice

Thanks All
Beautiful pair! How would you describe the difference between the two sound wise?
