On acoustic you could go to .010 - 0.46  instead of .012 - 0.54.

My wife is taking singing lessons and it really helps with her playing the accordion. I am sure it has affected your playing as well, for the better.

Great Job

I would not be worried about the blemish. The top will darken with age and it will only be noticeable to you.

Yes, a nice looking guitar.

I am approaching the 10 year mark, and I played almost everyday. I still haven't caught Jimmy Page, but I can play the guitar. There have been many times where I didn't seem to be progressing, but I was. Then the magic day would happen when some new sound came out of the guitar. I have been working on pentatonic scales, three notes on a string, and learning the entire neck for months now. Slowly, but surely I am making progress. You get out what you put in. No one ever became a great guitar player without putting in the work. 

Sounds  like my story except I am 4 years behind. 

I have started taking group lessons in slow blues with this guy and my motivation and practice sessions are a lot better.

glad you got it repaired Don... these are great little amps... if I had an acoustic with a pickup I'd surely get one... (was playing one in a store yesterday) .   I was playing a Godin Multiac (steel strring)  with a under-saddle pickup pickup through it, and the tone was really great... clear and warm sounding, added a bit of reverb and a touch of chorus... super. 

I love the loudbox, lightweight has input for a mic ( we use two mics) and a guitar. The acoustic sounds very natural and we also use a touch of reverb and chorus.

Now using the Marshall AS50 with a Ibanez tube screamer with the strat.

Tried that.  In the shop now, hopefully it can be repaired. I will find out in the next couple of days.

Loudbox repaired - one of the pots for the mic needed to be reworked. Nor sure what this entailed but it is like new again.

[Post your favorite acoustic!]

Larrivee L02 - No frills, but amazing tone and projection, very comfortable and versatile. Put a LL Baggs pickup up in and use it for playing out.  I have two other acoustics which cost more and sound good but not as good as the Larrivee.

A much better sound reproduction than I could provide.

[What Kinda Blues do you like]

I was listning to some BB King licks and my wife walked in and said is that Robert Cray. I realized then that it was very close and these blues guys are greatly influenced by previous artists.

[Mini Loudbox Hum]

Loudbox sent to Fishman.

In the meantime Marshalls AS50D acoustic amp just entered the house. So far the only complaint is that it is heavy.

Near Fredericton, NB so in the Northeast folder.

[Mustang 1 - Clean Tone]

My Mini Loudbox is in the repair shop, and I wanted to get a clean tone to play my acoustic with the Mustange 1. As you turn on the power press the tap button and the tone is clean - should be in the manual.

Lots of good music out there but no-one knows about it. Seen this group and will see them again when I can.

 

What I meant to say is that ther is good music but it is not mainstream so it gets lost to the average person who listens to  the 1-4-6-6 formulated music that get played on radio, etc.

Did you try plugging the amp into a different outlet? It's possible there is a ground issue with your electrical outlet in the house, or reverse polarity.

Tried that.  In the shop now, hopefully it can be repaired. I will find out in the next couple of days.

[Mini Loudbox Hum]

Tried all suggestions but still get a hum. The only knob which changes the hum is the master. If I turn it way down and use a higher gain it is not to bad. Will have to get it fixed.

Blue Dog - does not quite when moved or touching the strings. Cables ore good, it may be a ground fault inside the amp. Doug - trying to contact someone fairly  local to have a look.

Thanks for the response guys.
