Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Yeah, get rid of the Fender. :) No seriously, just for fun, just use a direct box to the board and see what happens... also... and this may be a bit tricky to approach... does the soundman know how to mix an Ovation ? If he is setting the EQ's about the same as the Takamine and they sound totally different... well... thar ya go. It's not a slam on the board jockey, but if he/she is trying to use the "normal" acoustic guitar settings... it ain't gonna happen. |

Location: Tampa, Florida | My biggest influence to play guitar came from two guys who played Ovations in P&W (Adamas II and 1984 Ltd). They were HUGE Ovation fans. They really sold me on Ovations. I just bought my 5th and will be using the 1778LX NEB for Praise and Worship. It will compliment my Martin CEO4 and Taylor 310ce. |

I'm on the verge of selling my soul to "Mr. Horny" to alleviate some of the difficulties of growing old, but hearing our dedicated church players post some times reminds me of the honest, upstanding, people I knew in my youth who were not ashamed to admit their religion, and who tried to improve their world as part of their dedication. I wasn't part of it but I sure don't see anything wrong with a belief that would encourage someone to consider those less fortunate, as long as they don't bug us hopeless sinners, us sinners will wave good bye to them as they waft to their reward and we sink to our everlasting torment, now where did I put that jug, and no you can't share if you want to go to Heaven, Get your hands off my jug you hypocrite.

Location: Upper Left USA | If I may once again collide my analogies and attempt to stay on the forum topic:
It is a relationship and not a religion. It is who you know and not what you do. It is the science of being called and learning to listen.
A walk.
Guitars, Music, People Associations or God;calling to you. How will you answer today?
From an Andrew Peterson song:
When the mandolin sang like a bird on the wing In the hands of Bill Monroe
When Chet played guitar like a walk in the park Like a prodigal son coming home
They spoke into being the work of their hands
From the void of the wire and the wood
And they stood on the stage And they sang and they played
And they said that it was good
And let there be light... |

Location: Scotland | Reminds me of John Hartford's Bluegrass heaven gag........
St Peter is showing a newcomer all the departed bluegrass greats in heaven. In the distance there's a figure wearing a white suit and cowboy hat, playing a 1923 Lloyd Loar F5. "And who's that?" "oh, don't pay any attention to him - that's just God. He thinks he's Bill Monroe". |
