Soul Surfin' from Baja California

• New Topic

reventlos Joined: May 23, 2006 Posts: 209 Costa Mesa	Posted on Feb 11 2017 06:45 PM Years ago I posted "The Astronauts, actually in Baja!", which was me playing "Surfer Stomp" down in the remotest part of BC Norte, while my buddies swilled Tecate. Here's a new one from just a few days ago, doing Johnny Fortune's "Soul Surfer". The whole point was to get my longboarder friends actually surfing in the background, but they wouldn't cooperate. This was shot on my Iphone using my little battery powered amp. Sorry about the clams, and accidentally hacking off the beginning and ending! https://youtu.be/0lGRJbkeaNc Top

For camping, I bring a little battery-powered Cube. Sounds decent if you futz with it. Still a work in progress. The coyotes seemed to like it. Top

Imagine how much even BETTER that background would be if Matt positioned his phone horizontally instead of vertically! It would be quite the 'mar vista'! Matt, Bulldog is great, too! You make that Cube sound very nice! (I have a little battery powered Vox DA-5 that I love to play through, too.) BTW, is that a new pickguard for your Strat? I think used to white, this seems like anodized gold. — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top
