Location: In The Pond | Greetings Everyone:
I am a bass player who occasionally picks up a guitar to work out melodies or when working on new music. I always work out the bass after I have the melody and chords sorted out. Generally I play a Jack Casady bass.
When I was but a lad in university, I bought a new 1972 Balladeer and played it for several years. Then I switched to bass playing. About a year ago, the memory of the sound of the Balladeer returned to my head, and I decided to find and buy one exactly like the one I had. And I did.
Last month, I bought a mint condition 1972 Balladeer 1111-4 with a 5 piece neck in the original case. I promptly strung it up with a set of Martin Marquis 12s. It sounds better than I had remembered. Perfect, clear with a strong bass. I can play John Lennon style chords and Django chords up and down the fret board. I'm so happy with it. What a neck, and what a wonderful loud acoustic guitar.
So, I just wanted to check in with you, and to say hello. |
