Well, here's one we haven't talked about or talked about recently...
Anyone out there in Mudspace playin' CBG other than me???
Mine was made by John Lowe in Memphis and ain't got a real fret board like lots of 'um... No, mine has two dowell rods and three pick-ups in the top of the cigar box... It is played exclusively with a slide 'cause that's 'bout the only way to play it... Mine has two output jacks... One picks up the big-ass bass string (maybe an .090) and the other picks up the three treble strings...
The way that mine sounds best is playin' the bass string thru a bass amp and the treble strings thru the PA...
If anyone out there is playin' a similar CBG then what I'm about to say is fully underswtoof by them and that is that when this thing gets goin' it ain't for the faint of heart... No way to play it but full bore...
