B.B. King's L5 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Many of you know about B.B. Kings guitar "Lucille". But what gives Lucille her distinctive tone?

A Lab Series L5 (Gibson/Norlin) solid state model. I snapped this pic while doing backline for Willie Jaye last week.

Here is what I set Willie Jaye up with:

'58 Bassman and a '64 Super Reverb. BIG FAT TONE running these both at once!

- Nut

Thats cool, I was just wondering. I actually just started getting into acoustic. I've been playing Electric for about 5 years now. Honestly if you have any larger amps's you wanna get rid of lemme know; you have stuff I can only dream of for now. When you gonna make a recording of you playing?

Maybe play some Dispatch - The General?

I am going to do some recording soon. Mainly soundclips for different amps and guitars.

That'd be awesome. I love music all together and it would be cool to hear what you play.
