Jesse_Dylan Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 To be left alone, , , the most precious currency in the invisible republic where men wear tambourine-crowns and shake ideas off their heads before dawn brings bronze. . . Ain't that the truth! I wonder if it's the red spruce top that gives the Bob the edge. I wouldn't mind paying more for a red spruce top, but paying more for a Bob would be paying a lot more!

Jesse_Dylan Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2IXS8sI__E I wonder how much it varies based on subtlety, like how close the player is to the mic and stuff, because this Bob just sounds to me about the same as a normal SJ-200. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yJ16HfK5ws Non-Bob I know people say they can really vary from model to model... I don't hear a ton of variance between these two, despite different species of spruce, and I'd say the MFriend Bob above sounds way different. Could also be that some are just "opened up" already and some aren't. To me, the blond from MFriend sounds a lot thinner, but I have to wonder how much is due to playing and mic position and how much is due to the specific guitar and the wood differences.

Tman Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 wow that Bob sounds so good. Maybe I wanted to hear a difference but I did. Like Greg said, I'd get it in a second....and run for the border. Damn that guy is funny..and an amazing guitar player. OK well I have a tone rite on my Walnut going on 100 hours now. I'll make another recording and see if one can hear a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverok Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Lol. Well I've had all 4 in the gibson jumbo body and bubinga is my favorite. It has the darkness of rosewood and the dryness of mahogany. Interesting. I have owned my bubinga J-100 since 2005. It's a real workhorse. So, you're saying I can stop lusting after the other versions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, anything that gets me to stop listening to Greg over and over. I thought the "run for the border" was one of his best, followed up by the "run for the border" theme and the "hidden across the border" riff (titles mine). They have a Gregisms Vol. 1 video up somewhere, too, which I highly recommend. I think he gets even weirder when he's demoing the electrics! Interesting. I have owned my bubinga J-100 since 2005. It's a real workhorse. So, you're saying I can stop lusting after the other versions ? Well, you can, but really, I mean--you love your J-100 so much, and it's become quite old and special now. It's probably time to buy another SJ, if for no other reason than to protect your special bubinga J-100, and hey, it would mean some variety...
