Podcast 139: Rick Turner, Jack Casady and Dan Schwartz at the Fretboard Summit 2016

Another highlight from the 2016 Fretboard Summit: Rick Turner,
Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna) and Dan Schwarz have a
candid talk about the evolution of instrument amplification and
tone from the 1960s to today. Casady talks about his desire for
higher fidelity bass sounds, even as rock concert sound systems
got bigger and bigger, and the electronic experimentation that
ensued. Schwarz talks about the fateful day in 1973 when he
walked into the Alembic guitar factory. Meanwhile, Rick Turner

luthiers and their clients. It's a deep (two hours long) talk
that covers a lot of ground...
