Bloomfield on a Duo-Sonic, 1964.

Who?

mike bloomfield i think.

i seem to recall the story bing something like: it was all they had lying around at the studio, so he used it, and said afterwards it was a piece of shit.

That is a sexy guitar.


I love old and worn maple necks.

Guitar looks great though, love the wear on the neck.

I dont have a Louis either but based on the following, it's probably just as well


Unlike contemporaries such as Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck, Bloomfield rarely experimented with feedback and distortion, preferring a loud but clean sound with a healthy amount of reverb. One of his amplifiers of choice was a 1965 Fender Twin Reverb. Bloomfield's solos, like most blues guitarists', were based primarily on the minor pentatonic scale and the blues scale. However, his liberal use of chromatic notes within the pentatonic framework allowed a considerable degree of fluidity to his solos. He was also renowned for his use of vibrato.[citation needed]

i hope he is good because that picture is just not doing it for me

I htought it was more of a fart face, myself.

Bloomfield was tops but he had a full on guitar face disorder. He said that duo was lousy.

He's never done it for me, even as a burst player.

Mike was like the Us version of Clapton in music. . I always to play guitar as good as him..

Thinking the same thing. That can't be good for one's shoulder.

I've never heard of this dude. He looks like a little kid wearing "dad"s" clothes, lol.
