Jimmy Plays The Beard Reso Bass

[dixiewreckt1]

I wanna be just like you guys.

[337camo]

on the 2nd jam the guitar sounds like a damn banjo! crazy

[337camo]

what exactly is a resonator or whatever its called?

[tinseth7]

@337camo a resonator or dobrow was invented around the 1930's because the guitar was getting dround out by all the wind instruments so they made metal tubings and stuff to make it louder because they did not have amps back than :-)

[337camo]

@tinseth7 I like them, they're nice. definately a cool guitar.

[bbouch111]

@tinseth7 its dobro not dobrow

[connaught2008]

do these exist to buy? 

[grunthunter44]

@connaught2008 Yes.

[ChevyToughRebel]

a resophonic bass!? I had no idea, sounds great

[bassbacke]

I'd like to see/head a recording in the same setting, no amps and a mic at the same distance from both instruments. I wonder if that bass can survive without amplification. A better sound and video resolution may also not hurt.

[mkds1109]

I've been in this shop, so it's cool that this was the first result for reso-bass guitar. If it wasn't this bass I've at least played one that was in there too.

I shudder at the expense of it but I would love to try and get some custom work from you guys one day.

[rocknrod01]

Man you guys are good. Icould listen to that and never get tired of hearing it.

[lizzylu79]

whats the name of the first tune played?

[JiffyNo0b]

That bass has an awesome sound. Nice little jam session!

[resopicker]

Two awesome musicians on equally awesome instruments.  What a partnership!
