Be still my beating heart! A rare 1961 “#ToneRing” 1 x 12 #FenderBassman spotted at @capsulemusic #Toronto (along with a pair of custom made and aged #Firebird-style parts #guitars). If I didn’t already own a #Bassman (and I wasn’t flat broke!😆) I’d be all over this one! #firebirdfriday #fenderfriday #gibson #gibsonfirebird #guitar #amp #amps #amplifiers #vintageguitars #vintageamps #vintagefender #fenderamp #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography (at Capsule Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTrqGfgR5k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vjx1134cfrm3

1961 Fender Bassman with the 1x12 Tone Ring cab and tube rectifier. One of the first handful made with a ridiculously low serial. From my secret stash and now up for grabs #Fender #FenderBassman #ToneRing #PreCBSFender #1961 (at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar)

A modern banjo is basically a combination of wood and metal. Altering the ways that wood and metal are combined will affect the sonic character or “voice” of the instrument, and some of the famous factory builders from back in the day contributed colossal efforts perfecting various combinations that have been time tested by generations of players. A good banjo maker is familiar with all of the different combinations and can distribute mass in a such a way to get the customer the optimal sound they want. One particularly nice combination of wood and medal is the classic wood rim paired with a metal bracket band and Tubaphone tone ring, especially when it involves a CMB maple block rim. They are pretty tricky to build but the sound is nothing short of incredible. Looking forward to getting this L model commission finished up in the coming weeks. #cedarmtnbanjos #banjobuilder #luthier #tonering https://www.instagram.com/p/CALa4rNhTq3DrmYeQg2n3sfcgntWaQUQ7wCO9M0/?igshid=1ib0j5aj8cipb

Yeah, it's been going by really fast. Another week and we'll be eight weeks in, it's weird. And I still love it. By this time last season, it already felt really strained to me, it was an inconvenience to watch it. Dokipre is still a treat. It's the highlight of my week. And it's really exciting.

Artist comment: Buddies Korra and Bolin takin a nap on some skanky sparring mats after an INTENSE WORKOUT YERRRS UGH I AM SOOOSOSOSO READY FOR THIS BUDDY LOVE TO GET UNDERWAY! Am I allowed to call it "bromance" if one of them is clearly not a bro? Whatever, she's basically a bro anyway. (I don't know if you guys are aware, but if you're like me and you were avoiding watching the first episodes of Korra cause you thought they were leaked, fear not, you can download them totally legally on Itunes!) This is obviously a little rough, more than a little unfinished, but I dunno I kinda like that it feels a little more casual. It seems to fit the moment.
