Bobby Ingano playing at the Wolftrap with Taj Mahal

Post by Michael Kiese »

Aloha,

This is from 2023. Uncle Bobby performs "Twilight in Hawaii" on a Rickenbacher Bakelite plugged directly into a Roland Mobile Cube amp, mic'd with an SM57. It sounded amazing while sitting in the audience.

Enjoy!
Aloha,

Aloha Bob,

Well, that would require fabrication of a 10 string horseshoe pickup. I'd love to see that science experiment come to life!

Enjoy!
