Bluesape Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not sure the sitar does much for the piece, though. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Thorne Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I dunno, I think the sitar, in Buddy's hands, kinda rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Can anyone tell what brand of electric sitar he's playing? I have a an authentic sitar...but man, it's just too much work keeping it in proper tune while playing...there's no "machine heads, just wooden pegs and holes, and depending on the climate, they can hold tight or slip. Also, it uses a couple of weird strings...made out of brass. They break easy, and I can't find them in singles...so you have to buy a whole set...which is not cheap. I wouldn't mind getting one of those electric sitars just to be bale to add some sitar vibe to some stuff once in awhile. I know there's a few brands out there...some affordable...some crazy expensive. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Caevan O’Shite Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah, the electric sitar brings something unexpected here; definitely different! His band's pretty tight, ain't they? I would expect that to be a Jerry Jones Master Sitar, a high-quality upgraded repro of the old Danelectro/Coral/Vinnie bell Electric Sitar.

BillWelcome Home Studios Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Looks like a standard Danno Coral reissue to me, though there is also a company flogging them for a few hundred more called something like "Italian Modern" or somesuch... you'll find them on ebay. There is also the Jerry Jones model. Agile and Rogue sell them too, and they all look very similar tome. I've not examined them carefully, but I would not be surprised to find that 4 out of the 5 that I mentioned come from the same factory.

Caevan O’Shite Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I would agree with you, Bill, except for the natural headstock and the logo that's on it, and the detailing on the pickguard, all features of the Jerry Jones models.

miroslav Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I was on the Agile website...'cuz I remembered seeing them in Union, NJ when Rondo was still open....but I don't see any on the website (at least not under electric guitars). Not looking to sidetrack this tread...but check out this one guitar they have there: http://www.rondomusic.com/product2067.html http://www.rondomusic.com/photos/electric/al2500albinofl1.jpg http://www.rondomusic.com/photos/electric/al2500albinofl5.jpg miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Caevan O’Shite Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I love the look of that! ]specially the black hardware against all that maple. Glad the binding's cream, black or multi-laminate would've been too much; as-is it's subtle and blends in very nicely. Can't say I have much faith in the longevity of a fretless maple fingerboard, though. That'll get worn out and stained up in no time, unless it's got something like a boat-hull epoxy finish like Jaco Pastorius put on his basses...

But I played a couple of vintage ones (added: the same as in the video) in a store on Denmark St in London. Pretty weird little geetars... Kinda cool if you want that specific thang going on.

Bluesape Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I just can't get that annoying "OOGACHAKA" chant outta my head when I hear a sitar these days. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Following along the links and found this diddy with the Man.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bfmhHziXdI That's b!tchin', he's really layin' down the voodoo chile vibe! Great tones, too. The bright and clean, clean CLEAN backing rhythm guitar, poppin' funk-approved bass, and authentic sounding organ are a nice touch, too. (Drummer's good, too, didn't want anybody left out.) Not to mention bringin' a little "Sunshine"... I think he'd been waiting so long to be where he was goin'...

Chad Thorne Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I just can't get that annoying "OOGACHAKA" chant outta my head when I hear a sitar these days. Oh, thanks just pantloads. Now I can't get it out of my head. Maybe think about The Box Tops' "Cry Like a Baby" instead... "Green Tambourine" by the Lemon Pipers. "Band of Gold" by Freda Payne. "Make Me Feel Brand New" by The Stlistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
