Messages 5, Messages 16, He sounds great, I remember the days of Jimmie Vaughn with 2 Matchless amp set up as well, and he sounded great too. DiPa said:. I had not listened to Robert Cray in a while and this thread reminded me to do so!!

Here is one of my favorite track of his, he is live at the Crossroads Guitar festival around I think. He has both Clubmans as well as the Vibroking. Not the best quality video, but I really like his tone and the overall performance. IMO, a slow blues played the way it should be with so much passion and energy. Oh and his voice Messages 7, Messages 8, Saw him Fargo, had to be over ten years ago, was still with wife number 2.

Honestly never looked at his gear or Claptons or the guy that played guitar with Clapton. They all three sounded so good I didn't think to look. Messages 1, PerryR Gold Supporting Member. Messages 3, Seen Cray in a small venue last year, Vibroking was set with pretty intense tremolo and no reverb.

An amazing singer, great Rhythm parts that are funky and seems to always play the right lead parts never over playing with fantastic and precise vibrato and intonation and most of all completely unique style. Some Rainy Morning is a great Robert Cray album. But I really enjoyed working with those guys. You took part in the Hail! What was it like working with Chuck?

But Chuck was giving Keith Richards just the hardest time. Keith was there to pay homage to his hero, but the way Chuck acted was untrusting, especially as he knew Keith. But I think he really wanted to be on top of everything. Willie came to Nashville where we had already been recording, wrote out the charts, and we cut the song Love Gone To Waste. Then went back to his old studio in Memphis - where he cut all those great records - to finish off the mixing.

It was really cool to work with him. One of his minders kept me out, which made me upset. Your style is one of the most instantly recognisable in the blues arena. Changing to a Strat must have required a whole different technique? That gave me a real deep sound at that point; the was too heavy on the bass end, too bright at the high end. I make up my own strings - an 0. The sound he was getting really blew me away, and shortly after that I fell in love with my green Strat; it gave me the sound I wanted and was also so much easier to use working around a microphone stand.

After the Gibson , with the six-position controls, a Strat with just the three-position switch was so much easier to work! For a long time, you used Fender amps and then you switched over to Matchless setups.

How did that come about? Jimmie Vaughan used the same setup for a while. I also use a Magnatone Stereo Vibrato that my guitar tech made for me years back.
