KEN:

Is that the Chordas you got from Carlos? What are they like?

Yes, the Carlos set. They are smooth under the fingers and slightly easier to Bow or play than the regular Chorda set.

I worked with them on last night's gig using my Pollmann. The band was a bit loud for playing acoustic or with a Mic and a small Polytone Amp. They heard me just fine but I would have liked to hear a little more myself. I don't have the Pollmann Bridge fit for a pickup. We play again tomorrow so I will bring my Bohemian Bass which had my Shadow pickup in the bridge tabs (Underwood copy) and use my own Bass Amp as well. I need more amplified type volume and a tighter sound than Guts with this group.

Sorry in advance for the off topic question and reply..

First grits, and now the frustrations of turning up at a gig with not enough clout!
This is starting to sound like the 'Down here (NZ)' thread! lol!

Hey Richard - I'm glad you haven't forgotten the grits. RE: You're previous question that you discovered the answer to by watching the Beverly Hillbillies. We typically use Quaker brand quick grits a/k/a enriched white hominy. Cooks in about 5 minutes - then you're in heaven.

The answer to the too little clout issue with Ken is perhaps best described with a paraphrase of a statement made by a past President of the USA, and I'm not sure which one, but it would be "Play softly and carry a big amp." Well, if you gots the room - use it.

I'm sorry you and the green guy just can't get along. Maybe a hybrid combining him and the yellow guy

Enjoy your weekend. I'm working on a partial restoration of an Acoustic Control Corporation 301 folded horn cab from 1973ish that I picked up January 1. It's got the 300 watt RMS Cerwin Vega 18" speaker. A true monster .

Oren, I think you might have meant harmony - please watch your spelling. I'm assuming that 'white harmony' is very diatonic.

Thanks for catching that Richard. You are so right - those grits get to boiling, there's definately a major musical scale, normally in E, going on. I only wish that you could hear it for yourself. E I E I O.

Sorry Richard - my grits just won't do the g# g# f# f# e as long as the bass player is on the farm. Of course, if it were me, it would be the "funny farm" if you know what I mean.
