Omg... I just realized how high that guys sweats were.

They're just under his nipples. :O

 

[solspirit]

Granted the nipples are a little low... But still

I think the Marshall sounds fine for jazz, although not really practical.

I like the Vox & the Roland the best.

I thought they all sounded good, even the Marshall. I use a Peavey myself.

Isn't the Polytone mini-brute the standard for Jazz?

Why not? This is my DSL2000

Somewhere in the "Guitar shop" I have a thread about my white strat. There's a video there. Just can't figure out how to copy it over to here.
Not doing well with this aging thing.

Mostly because it is an easy amp to carry on the subway. It certainly isn't the tone. A Princeton sounds so much better.

Thought you were going to go there. Yes, a half-stack is not always practical. A DSL40 is a great alternative to the Princeton not "better" but different.

"jazz" me here and "jazz" me there ...

When I think "jazz" guitar, I think about Wes Montgomery, that dude I cannot remember the name of ( a famous great), Pat Martino- and even Larry Coryell!

(even though Coryell was more... jazz rock fusion.)...

And then you got guys like Terje Rypdal, that doesn't have a "traditional archtop" tone at all- he plays a strat with loads of distortion and effects...

Bill Frisell?

:/

My "jazz" tone is dark, thick, trying to sound somewhat like a tenor saxophone . With a good amount of distortion, and so on...

...or clean, quite bright and sparkly. The "standard", dark archtop 012 string sound, often sounds boring to my ears!

That's the thing, jazz really has a lot of tones, and it has for many years, including John McLaughlin's speedy high gain, Allan Holdsworth's sax emulation, and Al Di Meola's LP-through-a-Marshall. To me, jazz isn't really a tone, it is a mindset. Few musicians do a whole set of improvised music these days, but when I see it, I smile.

When this pandemic is over you really need to come to Boston. You can walk club to club on the weekends and see everything from fusion to jazz to blues to rock. The closer you get to Berklee the more diverse things get. I can take you to Wally's if you bring an axe you can sit in.

My kind of town. My area is full of thrown together classic rock bands (thrown together for the gig, and that's it), and dimestore blues...every bad cliché that brings up.

 

[jeremy]

Heck, I wish I could come over. I've been hungry for live music and jazz, ever since I finished my year-long jazz school course in 09/10 :/

you lucky man!
