: I've been looking for the tab and/or chords to a ballad in Spanish called "Sabor a Mi". It's been recorded by several folks, but I'm not sure who. Any help out there? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You have to know this by now. It's been quite some time. Los Lobos did a version of this song. I have it on "Just Another Band From East L.A." It's the song I play that calms my kid down.

There was a glowing review a year ago in one of the UK guitar
mags....email me if interested and I will dig out the details, not to
hand right now. (it was a seven string I think).

: Hey Daniel,
: I resently played a Conklin 7string bass and very pleased. I would have purchased it but I'm waiting for a 6string. I think that the quality that they put into their instrument is very high and I will be buying one soon myself. I hope this will help you in your dicision.

I play a 7string Conklin Bass, for the past 8 years, I've been playing for 30 years and so far it is the best bass I've ever had.

I own a 7-string Conklin bass, and I enjoy mine every much. I thump, slap and tap with just as I do a 5-string, still there are several differences. The two elements I enjoy the most are the fact that I don't have "roam" all over the neck, and I get a cleaner or glassier sound when tapping and slapping. I get so much attention because of my Conklin -- especially from other bass players, both young and old.

I believe that, no matter your talent level, when you are on stage, it's your appearance that is noticed. When auditioning for working a band, it's your ability to keep things simple and to stay in the pocket AND the type of gear you have -- "bargain basement" gear will often keep you in the basement.

Alot of times, you are rated by your equipment. And between you and me, the "good stuff" is alot easier to work with. Conklin makes quality guitars and basses to YOUR specifications, you get the sound you are looking for. No matter how well you play, as long as stay in the pocket and maintain the groove, with a Conklin, you are bad man! Good luck with your Conklin. As for me, my next Conklin will be a 9-string.

I actually just bought a Conklin 7 string and it has really good sound. Functionally it's sweet as hell and the craftmanship is exceptional. Now, I didn't spend as much as your thinking about spending mine was only 2k. Good luck!

I own two Conklin instruments - a 4-string bass and a 7-string bass. The workmanship and quality are exceptional, and the electronics kick a**. I've had numerous bass players envy me for these axes. I've toured the Conklin shop and spoken at length with Bill Conklin - he's one of the most gracious, hospitable and ethical guys in the business.

SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!!!!

: Hi,
: I bought a new Gibson Epiphone last year and haven't really been happy
: with the sound I'm getting from it. I like the warm, deep sound from Gibsons
: but I don't want to lose any top end sound. Can anyone suggest some pickups
: that will give me the sound I'm looking for: Low end grunt, with the Fender
: twang top end .

: Thanks for your help!

: My Tak. is thirteen years old, and I noticed a slight belling. I checked all the bracing and found nothing wrong. I went to a guitar shop with the guitar and the salesman said he was concerned. However another shop said not to worry. Whom should I believe? Is bellying a normal part of an aging guitar? It still plays great.

"Bellying" is pretty normal for a flat top. If your intonation and action aren't affected, don't worry about it.

If it's completely whacked out, your luthier can probably reform it, but it won't be cheap.

Cheers

: I have a Tokai Love Rock. It just looked exactly the same with Gary Moore's '59 Les Paul (not the Peter Green one). It is the main reason that I bought it. The price was very funny. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE HELL !!! MUCH BETTER THAN MOST LES PAULS I'VE SEEN...

: What is this guitar, man?
The love rock model is the best made guitar i have ever had my hands on. Im not real familiar with the history of Tokai guitars but I do know that my Tokai gold top les paul stands alone. I dont like to call it a copy because a copy should be of a lesser standerd than the original and this is not the case

Does anyone ever use this site now please ?

: I want a Tokai Talbo. They are the best sounding guitar on earth. You cannot explain the tone on this guitar by words. It is just unbelivable.!!!

Who made TOKAI pianos?, and are they still being manufactured?

I'm not commenting on previous posts - just adding my own input.

I've got a Tokai Goldstar Strat, and it's a very nice guitar - but I've always had a problem with the "tremolo" arm putting the guitar out of tune.

So rather than buying a new guitar, I prefer to customise the guitar, making it more "special" and unique (which is apparently a common practice).

Cheers,
Robin.

PS My tokai must be quite old now ... I got it in the 80's second-hand.

: : : I have the love rock model and put anico 11,and
full shred pickups in it and would'nt trade it
for anything.
