Can anyone direct me to some sound clips that were done on a Sierra? I am curious about how they sound. I have heard Joe Wright on his, but that's about it. I'm sure Joe can make anything sound good with his abilities, I'd just like to hear some more clips. It is easy to find clips or videos of the other major makes, but for some reason I don't see a lot of specific references to Sierra in anything I have found on YouTube or elsewhere. I also don't see a lot of them for sale, at least later models. I guess everyone holds on to them. Thanks,

Bart

This thread has Pete Finney with his Sierra. Hard to beat the tone Pete gets but I'm sure he has something to do with it.Smile

There is some Joe Wright vids on youtube. He's been playing Sierra's for years.

I bought a new Sierra Session SU12 Keyless 8&6 back in 2003. Well built, great tone and a case with wheels! If I would have known then what I know now, I would have kept it.
