Long Live the Blues
Top Secret...my harmonica rig. I started playing through a small keyboard solid state amp. I did it as a joke. When people would see me without the regular Bassman or wanna be little Walter rig they would roll their eyes. That's the response I wanted. I have played for so long that I wanted my playing to do the talking. I now have a mini stack with the keyboard amp on top and a matching small Bass amp on bottom.

The only problem is unless you get miked through the house P.A. you can't be heard if the band is real loud. In those rare cases I bring another amp and mike myself through if. My microphone is a Radio Shack Realistic cheapo low feq. response junk pawn shop left over. Why? After much trial and error it best matches my amps. Don't be afraid to be different! I once in a while use a Shaker Mic with a volume control just to change up. I also have a bag full of crystal mics...oh yeah, I use an old analog delay for effect....I sometimes play through a Delta Blues Amp with a big 15 inch speaker matched with a CAD mike, but most of the time , I use my solid state rig. I have also played through my little amps while pumped through a Stage pro 100...that combo sounds good. Sometimes miked through the 100, sometime direct. It depends on the situation and the sound I want to get..

Big Hamonica Bob is now known the world over...But like all blues people you need to hear him to understand that he is the "Real Deal". With no Major Label backing Big Harmonica Bob and the musicians he plays with are Spanning the Globe with the Blues! ( Big Blues Dog Productions is an Independent label and brings you the blues of
BHB and friends. We work hard to do it well.)  If you are a Blues Harmonica fan then I think you will see why BHB has such a wide appeal. His band is really a great sounding band. Not average at all, this band is beginning to really kick some serious blues fanny! Big Harmonica Bob....Long Live the Blues ...come and see a show...you will be glad you did As of 2006 we play at The Blue Cafe in Long Beach Ca.
