BluesKing777 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 As promised, here is some bottleneck slide on my 2002 Gibson J50. I think these strings that I got from that fella are going to stay on, what was his name Mudie, Moodey, Muddy? My version of RJ's "Love In Vain": BluesKing777.

BluesKing777 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks Sal! I recorded with the Neumann KM184 as an overhead.....mic on a boom arm looking down at my head...hoping to avoid peakiness and boom. It can get a bit thin. I had another practice/play session since. I have now tried the J with my M80, my Sunrise and a Seymour D MagMic and meanwhile the slide has cleaned the rust and food fat off the old strings, a bit. But the 3rd string is toneless like it is an old Black Diamond. BluesKing777. Edited December 17, 2019 by BluesKing777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Thanks Murph! It is hard to know if what I hear in my headphones is the same as everyone else, so thanks for the recording feedback. BluesKing777. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Wowser! OK, we know it sounds great as a bottleneck guitar with ancient strings. How about some new strings to see what she can really do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hey, I have a friend who doesn’t know how to change guitar strings. True. It is no joy playing his guitar, let me tell you. But I was thinking how I know how to change strings and I don’t think anyone showed me - I just worked it out as I went.) BluesKing777.
