let's talk # 2



You know, I've been thinking....oh ohhhhh.....

Whilst looking around for info on Jimmy's BB, I saw it over and over on various sites that the # 2 has an arched bridge. Is this fact or urban legend ? Does anyone have in their personal archives or some other reliable source where either Jimmy, or again, a reliable source says this is so ? I mean, think about it. In order for the bridge to *really* have any impact on the bowing of individual strings, it would have to have some curvature radius on it. So much so that I would think it would really hamper the rest of Jimmy's playing. The only thing I could possibly think of is that perhaps , maybe the high and low e's are dropped down just a notch to facilitate hitting just the b or a with the bow. Can't imagine it being much more..... Just a thought...one that kept me up last night. And I mean that in the most Vancouver sort of way! ; )

If you haven't signed up for that Snow Jobs tree yet...DO IT! Worth it just for the Plantations alone. Did they have those funky hothouses in Vancouver yet back then ? sweet smell......
