Schwab #79
Received the Schwab #79 5 string and took it for a test run today. I gotta say, I've not played an electric instrument (guitar or mandolin) that plays quite like this. Many thanks to MrMando and Emando.com for the support in bringing this instrument into my life.
My reason for going to a 5 string from 4 is for playing rock, country, and blues with both backup and solo voicing. I played along to some Muddy Waters this evening and the #79 has great tone between both pickups. The Seymour Duncans sound great through a clean channel! When plugged into my effects rig it has a lot of range with the blues drive and compressor. I'm excited about expanding my horizons on playing electric in jazz and other styles in the future.
