Guitar & bass October 2007

[fbecir]

Hello

I just received the new edition of Guitar & Bass (October 2007).
There are some Music Man content :
1. A small article on the Global Warming Silhouette
2. An interview with Albert Lee (he talks of course of his new BFR model)
3. A review on lightweight guitars where they talk about the Silo

Last issue (september) was also nice : John Petrucci and Tony Levin ... you can expect Music Man porn.

As a Frenchman it hurts me to say that, but the English mags are really the best !

 

[robelinda2]

cool! I gotta find this mag and read the BFR AL news! what did he say about it?

 

[fbecir]

Well, my scanner is out of order so I have to type :

How many guitars do you use ?
Oh, I only travel with one. This is a new prototype of my Enie Ball Music Man signature model. It's part of their Reserve series. The body has three different woods with a mahogany 'tone block' down the middle. It gives it afatter sound, and it really sings. It's still got the vintage tremolo and Seymour Duncans. funnily enough, I wasn't involved with its original development ; they sent me a prototype which I played for a number of years, but they were busy with the Silhouette and shelved this guitar for a while. When things picked up, they said 'maybe we'll put out that guitar as the Albert Lee model'. I just thought - that's cool !

In the interview, Albert says that he has no backup guitar ... he never breaks strings !

Thank you very much for your efforts in typing!!!!!!!!!! much appreciated!

Thats certainy different to what Albert said to us the other day, he said his guitar wasnt a BFR or proto BFR, just a regular AL. Interesting, maybe Pinkburst is the BFR after all.......

I also seen a band recently where the band had a 30 mins set

and one of the guitar players had 5 guitars

one for every song,the other had one ernie ball


and the set wasnt even that long,......there were more talking and crowd participation than there was music!!!!!


I was not impressed so I was at the bar :

And I never once saw him stop to tune it. Albert is so impressive as a musician and as a person. So is his guitar...

 

[brentrocks]

he pulled one off the rack in Canada!!!

 

[robelinda2]

oh man!!!! I was so pumped for AL to use his BFR!!!!

 

[Colin]

The funny thing was, Rob took more guitars to the show than Albert and the band combined!

The Tony Levin Approach.

No backup, that's wild.

 

[robelinda2]
