I was there last night as well. Definitely not one of Robben's better shows. I've seen him ma ...

Yeah, I had forgotten to mention the book Zen Guitar. I'm gonna order that for sure.

Great read. I picked one up after I went to the clinic a couple years ago as well. If you're near a Barnes an ...

Great post Vinni. Reminded me of the clinic I attended about 3-4 years ago. I have got to get back to another someday. Love your description of Robben, a very caring, humble, funny man indeed.

You might be thinking of the way the first Teles were wired, where throwing the switch forward hooked in a cap (or something) to give a faux-bass sound. I think the Fender '52 reissues and custom ...

Robben was definately on the bridge pickup most all night and his 335 had the stop tailpiece, not the trapeze. Sorry, I wasn't very clear on that previously. I don't remember how much he used the 33 ...

Steve,

The 335 was cherry, small block inlays, no varitone control, tailpiece and ABR, and looked like a mid 60s. Robben rarely touched the controls so I don't think it was tapped. He controlled ...

When I saw Robben a couple weeks ago in Oklahoma City he used a blackface and silverface Super Reverb daisy chained. Both Supers were 4x10. Played a 335 and the Tele. Absolutely glorious tone!

Hey guys, just got back to Dallas from the OKC show. One word...unbelieveable! Robben, Roscoe, and Brannen were on fire and were clearly having a good time. The venue was great and Jim has done an ...

Nice review Blue...thanks for the update. Since the Dallas show was cancelled, I bought tickets to the Oklahoma City show on Weds. Can't wait to see Robben with Roscoe and Brannen. Have fun tonight ...

Thanks Jim. I will probably drive up to OKC to catch Robben if he isn't coming to Dallas. Are you close to sold out? I had tickets and drove up for the 2004 shows you had booked as well.

Its ama ...

Well, I should have checked one more time before I replied. Just checked the Continental Club - Houston website and it has been updated and no longer shows Robben on the 10th.

I'm in Dallas as well and have been trying to track this date down since it was first announced. I finally got ahold of someone at Lakewood Theater and they told me Robben was not playing there the 9 ...

I just called the Lakewood Theater in Dallas and was told that Robben was NOT going to be doing the Feb. 9. show. They said Robben had decided not to do any shows in Texas. So I called the Cactus Ca ...

For the larger gigs I use a Fuchs ODS with an old Fender "Deluxe" 2X12 cab with Celestion G12-65s.

Another option would be to use the DRRI with 6L6s and a more efficient speaker. I did this with mine for 2-3 years and it worked great. Kind of like a Vibrolux with a 12" speaker. Tighter bass ...
