Our duo project, Fundamental Things (http://www.fundamentalthings.ca/) had a little gig again. This time in a clothing/shoe store! It was fun. I played my SX acoustic for the first time through a PA. It sounded great. Next thing I'll do is to add the JamMan looping pedal to our duo, once it gets here. I think I'll have a lot of use for that pedal in this duo. Here's a pic from last night:

Uh oh. Careful there cranium. To a few of us here that isn't an option and we're (um, I'm) a tad sensitive about it.:D

I'm sure that Robert would have no problem though.:DR

What I want to know is how that new acoustic sounded like.

The acoustic has an anti-feedback feature, and I had to use it because the guitar was starting to feedback now and then. It sounds really good on the normal setting, but even with the anti-feedback thing on, it sounds more than decent. I'm a happy camper.

People came shopping, stopped and listened for a bit and went, so no big crowd really, but it was fun. A prospective drummer and bass player came and stayed the whole time. We are hoping to start a band with them.

We played some John Hiatt, blues, country and stuff like that. The gig went from 7-9:30, with a fairly long wine and cheese break halfway through.
