My only problem with Roland amps is I seem to remember them being metric, and nonstandard, and so you may need a Roland replacement (which sucks). Make sure the speaker will fit without having to pull out a router! Thanks, Bobby, This is one of my concerns. ;-) I don't know metric from schmetric...! You mean the holes where the speaker attaches to the baffle might not fit? Duh.....????? Jim |
Re: replacement speaker for JC 55
Hi Jim,
I am looking for replacement speakers for a JC 55. They are 8 inch, 8 ohms. Someone has recommended Eminence Beta 8A.I like Eminence speakers for the price. I'm not familiar with the Beta 8A, but I've never heard an Eminence speaker I didn't like, and they hold up very good. Any amp you like is worth a decent speaker. My only problem with Roland amps is I seem to remember them being metric, and nostandard, and so you may need a Roland replacement (which sucks). Make sure the speaker will fit without having to pull out a router! best, Bobby |
replacement speaker for JC 55
I am looking for replacement speakers for a JC 55. They are 8 inch, 8 ohms. Someone has recommended Eminence Beta 8A. I got this amp off ebay for $150. Is it worth it to spend this much for replacements? The speakers that came with the amp are old and tired. I like this little amp a lot. It could be a real gig amp. Like everybody else I want a great sounding amp that is light weight. I have some nice amps, but they are either too big or too finicky. I keep a Roland cube 30 in my car just in case my gig amp fails. Heretofore I have used a Polytone baby brute, but it has become untrustworthy.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Jim |
Re: Microphone question
From: "Scott R Dercks" Subject: Re: [jazz_guitar] Microphone question Hi Ron, There is a headset mic in the video that is mic'ing his voice. I don't know the model of it, however. I am assuming that is the mic in question. Not what is picking up the guitar.< Yes, that is the mic in question. I guess it would be hard to ID it exactly, so I guess what I'm looking for are recommendations for similar mics with enough quality for singing and not just things like business presentations. Brad |

Re: Eric Clapton plays Autumn Leaves
I didn't dislike it, and I listened to the whole thing, but I didn't find it inspiring.

Clapton was fabulous with Cream and Blind Faith. Maybe I like his later work less because I liked the earlier stuff so much. - Rick --- In jazz_guitar@..., "JamesM" <jmings2003@...> wrote:

Re: Microphone question
I'd have to be Al Schmitt to answer that question. I thought maybe
we'd get a look at the mic and could make a guess. There are many things that can influence the sound. [very nice] Looked Iike he was playing a De Angelico NYr redoo, that has to contribute something. Some times cameras have a compression algorithm as part of the input signal plath, amp plays a huge role as well. Variables like crazy. I liked the lick tho. Why not email the guy and ask what his signal path was. Hell, it could have been direct into the camera for all we know. If so that would be the camera to get if you are into making vids.

How to identify Duncan 59s pickups?
Hi!
The guy from whom I have bought my Epi Sheraton claimed that he put Duncan 59s in place of the original Epi ones, but I have a doubt now. I have not removed the pups and there is no visible engraving on the surface. Any means to know if they are actual Duncans? Thanks, Marc |
Re: I thought playing the guitar for a living was a hard gig!
Wow. Thanks for sharing the experience with us, Jim. And your music. But most of all, your heart and soul. It's a treasure "knowing" you here in the ether.
As I get older I have, we must all have, a similar easing of the egoic need to judge and control things. It's so much easier to enjoy and appreciate what's there in front of us, isn't it? Peace to you. Terry |

Hi folks.
Often as musicians, we find ourselves sending and receiving files that are too big to be emailed. There are sites like yousendit.com and sendspace.com that allow for larger file transfers, but I've lately been using Dropbox to do this. It has several benefits over the competition. To check it out, please visit: Chris |
Re: I thought playing the guitar for a living was a hard gig!
I thought playing the guitar for a living was a hard gig!Playing guitar for a living IS a hard gig. It is also a blessed one. To be able to make your living with your instrument is a wonderful thing. Thanks for reminding me. Peace, Scott Dercks ____________________________________________________________ SHOCKING: 2010 Honda Civic for $1,734.09 Is this price real? YES! We reveal the TRUTH! |

I thought it was the weakest part of the whole concert actually. I love Chris Botti and love the whole "In Boston" recording but find the Steve Tyler stuff too rock-ish. Emmanuel with Lucia Micarelli is more my speed (not jazz at all though). |
