@emmgeeo - Gerry behaves like a dickhead??? Better check your opinion at the gate bud..... Gerry was perhaps the best bassist Rory ever could have had, he was rock solid, extremely dependable, and simply always just played his heart out. And if he was good enough to last 20 years w/ Rory Gallagher, that's good enough for me.

@SuperbCurmudgeon Just a shame Gerry behaves like such a dickhead on stage.

@MrEguitarF A real, vintage one is on Ebay right now for $4000. Thats pretty high.
A new reissue is $800.
The downside is that the sound has no variety. Look up B.J. Thomas - Hooked on a Feeling and THE LEMON PIPERS- " GREEN TAMBOURINE ". Great songs, but everything played on the Coral Sitar sounds like that.

@detoth67 Thanks. Have to get one of those. are they expensive?
-
@dictator54 Its not that rare. I've played 3 of them. They're even remaking them now.
-
@PADDYBLUE79 Plenty of people have done it before and after him.
-
@MrEguitarF It5s not an effect, its a Coral Sitar. Its designed to play like a guitar but have the tone of a sitar
-
Do anyone knows how RG gets that sound out of the guitar? What kind of effect is that? Just love it...
-
that's no guitar for rory...sorry
-
@SuperbCurmudgeon - Too true, Gerry is a one of a kind bass player.. Mad props..
What goes missing in all our comments about RG is what a great bass player Gerry McAvoy was. Whenever RG changed the band, he always kept GM. That says something about RG's respect for him.
