Every one that I've played has had an astonishing bass response. So much so that I found the guitars not useful for my playing. I've never had the opportunity to play a Martin Pre War Herringbone, but I have had a few guitars that were booming and like you "I found the guitars not useful for my playing."

slimt Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Can we include the plug in models? With a bass amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it's a monster. Gibson | 1936 Advanced Jumbo Vintage Sunburst I plan on taking one for a spin. It looks like fullers has 4 in stock, although that would likely be the very top of my budget as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haheh, , , it's was fortified over 25 years ago when the cement-block under the window got refreshed. There was no balcony then. This is a former working class hood. . I btw. find the F-bird very flamy and had to 'put out' the p-guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could find several uses for such a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My repair guy (whom I have seen vintage Martin guys call "Doc") has probably worked on more pre-War Martin D28s than I will ever see in the flesh. So, I took him at his word. A friend of mine who is a sound engineer and who knows my Gibson has been chomping at the bit to get the guitar into his shop where he can measure the low-end frequency.

There was a model Gibson made in the past, can’t remember the model number, maybe J40, that they built to compete with them D28 that I have never played. I’m sure someone on here can comment on that. I currently have a custom shop D28 that has Adirondack top and scalloped Adi braces set in the “Golden Era” position. It of course is a deep resonate guitar but my AJ is right there with it with just the perfect amount of Gibson sparkle on top. I'm wondering if you mean the Gibson J-60, which gives every impression of being Gibson's answer to a Martin D28. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
