Oh yeah!

But what does it sound like? I've wondered about trying that a few times but never got round to it...

 

[T-bone]

It's a great sound, GreyDad. Unique and full of sustain. I think the 30th may have something to do with the sound, too.

I guess you can only bow the E and the G, yes? Do you have to have rounds or flats or doesn't it matter?

For the price of a bow I might just go out and try it

 

[T-bone]

I pretty much just hang on the E string and work my way up the fretboard. This particular song is F, A, then D. And the D sounds incredible. Lots-O-sustain.

I have rounds on the 30th and like the tone better than the flats on my buttercream. There's more resistance, and just seems a little easier to dial in the tone I'm looking for.

Give it a try, GreyDad. I think you'll enjoy the sound, and for your fans who are old enough to remember Jimmy Page, you'll bring a smile to their faces.

Thanks, tbone, I grew up listening to Jimmy Page and Led Zep Actually, it was wanting to play like John Paul Jones that got me to buy my first bass in '76. I was having a nostalgic Led Zep fest last night and progressed onto Raising Sand, which coincidentally was playing when I read your post so I offer my thanks to you for that, it's an inspired and very cool album.

Anyway, you've planted a seed in my head about this so I reckon I'm going to give it a go. I might try it with some weird effects, echos and delays when I'm in a more experimental (psychadelic?) mood

Man that Redwood is a thing of beauty. Looks even better out gigging. It has got me considering selling my Dargie and getting one. JOSH

I got to sit in for one song with my dads band on the 4th at one of their best gigs. I've known all the guys for a real long time and it was fun to finally play with them.
My dad used to play a sick 70's stingray that I used in jazz band before i got my bongo then he had a stingray 5 and now he plays a honer cause i warwick ruined his shoulder. I tease him cause i know my bongo is better and he wont admit it.

Name of the band - and lead players custom paint Hamer of some sort.

That's an Ibanez iceman, and a very cool one at that.

wow man, impressive venue. looks like it was an awesome show.

 

[ZiggyDude]

Your right - I changed the text on photo album some time back but not the other post. Oopsy. I was caught on that one right away and got the photo in the album. He normally does the vintage Hamer thing so it caught me off guard. The Ibanez was fresh out of the custom paint place he knows. It was also the same night I debuted the Desert Gold Bongo 5 I got - it was a colorful stage
