A rockabilly buddy hipped me to her. Anyone know who the guitar player is? Josie is located in Orange County, CA so maybe we could get him to the Mini-Con!

My buddy thinks the axe mans name is Mark Neill. Anyone know him?

[elreydlp]

Here's more-nice Ric in the pic too!

I'm going to invite Mark to the Mini-Conference.

[elreydlp]

The Rick axe-man is Mark Neill, and he is a producer of some note. I spoke to him this morning, and he's going to try to make the SoCal Mini-Con.

Love the tone of that rockabilly Ric.

Very cool...I'd almost swear he's has a B Bender on that guitar

[elreydlp]

Mark says he has a ton of Rickenbacker and F. C. Hall stories, and George; Mosrite and Semie Moseley stories too. We're going to meet for lunch next week. I can't wait. He really got my attention in the short time we spoke this morning.

That would be cool - a 381 with a B-Bender!

[longhouse]

Sounded to me like he was bending more than the B string. Those lead breaks were great!

[elreydlp]

I'll make a list of questions to ask Mark when we have lunch. Post yours here and I'll add 'em. He's in the middle of putting a record together, but when I told him about the Mini-Con, he was pretty stoked about coming.

[elreydlp]

I talked to Mark today and mentioned that more than a few people thought he had a B-bender on his 381. He does those bends with his fingers and an Accent vibrato. I'm meeting him at his studio Thursday for a demonstration.

That's some seriously cool pickin'! On that tune, ("Crazy Carnival Ride"?) I didn't hear anything that sounded like a B-bender, and I'm familiar with B-benders--I've got one in one of my Teles--what I did hear was some killer rockabilly picking, tasty vibrato-bar work and great tone. Is that 381 a reissue? If I could have gotten my old '72 381 to sound that good, I'd still have it! And what kind of amp was he using on that? Inquiring minds want to know...

[elreydlp]

Mark says he was playing through the house amp which he remembered as being a 4 X 10 Fender Blues DeVille. His only effects were the amps reverb and a Boss RV-3 Rev/Delay set for a single slap-back. I'll try to get more info on the guitar, but I doubt if it's a reissue. He got it when F. C. Hall was still living.
