Dueling Dumbles

Post by gregarious »

I just caught the Larry Carlton & Robben Ford gig - maybe not the ultimate pairing but still, two more than competent interpreters of the blues idiom given the format, and beyond in passages.

They traded licks and played off each other with finesse & consummate ease. Very toneful, and at times, soulful (especially Larry).

The common denominator – their rigs centered around their Dumbles. After the gig I asked them how much the Dumbles contributed to achieving their tone to which Robben replied, “well, you’ve got to be plugged in”…. touche’
