Okay, I overlooked the acoustic bass part of that the first time around. Thanks for mentioning it again; now I won't go ordering the wrong thing.

And it's kinda funny that somebody mentioned David Bowie. I watched a YouTube demo just a couple of days ago where the reviewer had a Danelectro 12-string (I forget the model), and he played a little bit of the instrumental break from "Space Oddity." It never occurred to me before that that part was played on a twelver.

I do like the built-in tuner on the Villager. "Listening to a 12-string player tune up is twice as much fun." --Michael O'Shea :lol:
Haven't fiddled with the tone controls on the Fishman Isis III at all. Thus far, I've been playing it mostly "unplugged," but maybe tonight while La Wife is at work, I might fire up my Roland Micro Cube and rawk out with the Villager for awhile. 8)
Could be a good time to practice the intro to "Wish You Were Here," and see if it sounds any different through the Ibanez LF7 "Lo-Fi."

Did you get the Powerpad (521) or the "101" type? To further complicate things, there's an IABB510 Powerpad bag, from various vendors. :?

I'm just trying to get the right one the first time, 'cause I hate having to ship something back because it didn't fit. (Although if a bag doesn't fit the Villager but does fit my TCY10E Talman, I might keep it.)

Ditto. I think a lot of my appreciation for them comes from what Roger McGuinn did on the Byrds' records, but there are a lot of other good songs out there with 12-string in the mix.
I keep a compressor (Guyatone ST-2) in one pocket of the gig bag for my Jay Turser Hawk 12. It'll never be a Rickenbacker (and I'll never be McGuinn :lol: ), but it does help get some "jangle."

Congrats and enjoy!

I've had my heart set on a solid body electric 12, but maybe I'll check this out. I might end up with the best of both worlds. I like the "hockey stick" headstock, too.
