Gibson ES-335 ‘63 VOS + Dumble ODS 50 clone - what a tone match

[@OniDasAlagoas]

Man, that's a great tone. So clear and articulate for a humbucker guitar.

Truly beautiful and inspiring. Life feels some times painful and unfair and brings us melancholy. I wonder may suffering still bring to this world something very human, when we respond to it in a humane way. Arts in general and music in particular are gifts from heaven.

Thank you Juha. I like your reflections and I also dig your playing 😊 Cheers!

Oh Man!! What a great soundtrack to have whilst I'm putting new pickups in to a Strat! Your recorded tone even thru YT is superb, you have your own sound, touch and feel and I'm blown away. On replay my friend until I get my little job done! I notice your subscribers are going up too and you deserve it.

Thanks Brian, this was really an impromptu recording as I felt like playing my neglected ES-335. The combination of this guitar and the amp is something special. The tones bloom in a way with this amp that I don't experience with any other. I remember when I got it I had a Fender Blues Deluxe, a vintage Vibrolux and my favourite at the time, the rather obscure Genz Benz Black Pearl. This amp just pushed the other out of the equation. Since then I've accumulated some other amps. I could of course just have this, but I sometimes want to have a different flavour and also something more convenient to bring to rehearsal or to a gig. Appreciate your encouraging words much my friend.

Is it selfish of me to say I ALAWAYS wanna hear you playing a 335? It takes a special player to release the magic that lies within hollow, and semi hollow guitars.. the sweet warmth, and then the aggressive growl that these guitars can possess.. when in the hands of a master .. I could listen to you play all day my friend…

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

Hi, thank you so much 😊 I sometimes wonder why I even choose to play the other amps and guitars, as I love the combination of this guitar and this amp. I guess it comes down to my mood and really being so lucky to have a few options to choose from. I am totally with you on your description of the character of the semi-hollow guitars. There's just something special about the ES-335. All the best my friend.

I am on a bus, sounds like I'm getting close to Nirvana. Great tone & feel, thank you!

Do you always play with just fingers

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

Hi, I mostly do as I started playing like this as a kid and it just became second nature to me. I say mostly because I've had learn to play with a pick for periods as the skin on my fingers tend to break up in winter time due to low humidity. Cheers.

[@MrNewtonian]

@GUITARSGIZMOS just asking are you left handed but play right handed? I am , and find a pick really hard to hold

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

@@MrNewtonian No, I'm right handed, but can imagine your challenges. My brother is left handed and learned to play right handed.
