為什麼B.B.King的live的吉他總是要比其他同台吉他手的吉他聲音濃厚好聽？

01-21

不知是技術問題，還是效果器或吉他問題，還是因為是主場表演人故意要壓場子。

調音台的設置是一部分原因，另一部分原因來自設備，B.B.King的設備如下：

吉他當然就是大名鼎鼎的 Lucille guitar，她源自Gibson的ES- 355，這把吉他是定製度，琴上有一個「 Varitone 」旋鈕，連接的是陷波濾波器，可以調整從各種高頻率從高至低的的6個檔位，另外該吉他還可以調整在單聲道或立體聲模式下運行（採訪中說沒有用到過立體聲的功能）。

音箱是Lab Series L5 2x12" combo amp.

效果器？沒有！King自己說了好多遍了。

附贈一篇他的採訪：

Guitar.com: What about playing other guitars. You"re a fan of the Gibson, obviously.

King: Yes I am, so why should I? We
have an old saying in my vocab, "If it ain"t broke, don"t fix it." So
why should I try to play something else? I don"t play the one I play
well enough.

Guitar.com: When did you start playing the ES?

King: When it first came out. I think it was about "50, somewhere like that.

Guitar.com: Do you remember why you picked out that one? Did someone recommend it to you?

King: No, I liked it. I went to a music store and I saw it, tried it, liked it and been trying "em ever since.

Guitar.com: What about amplifiers?

King: I use an amp called a Lab System,
and I"ve been using that ever since they first came out. The thing
nearest to it is the Fender Twin. When I"m overseas -- and if something
happens to mine, and I can"t get another one -- I"ll use a Fender Twin.
But otherwise I keep the Lab all the time.（用一個叫做Lab System的音箱，最接近它的是fender twin音箱）

Guitar.com: Is it two twelve inch speakers like a Twin?

King: Two twelve inch, yes.（2個12英寸揚聲器）

Guitar.com: Is it a real clean tone if you want it, like the Twin?

King: Well, I don"t know about the
different sounds like a lot of guys do. I"ve been playing over a hundred
years it seems like, but I"ve only used a wah-wah once.I used
something called a Crybaby years ago on a thing called "Lucille Talks
Back," （只用過一次哇哇效果器，Crybaby） and I"ve never used another one "cause it makes me lazy. The
thing sounds so good I can"t be B.B. King as much as I"d like to be, so I
don"t use anything other than just an amplifier and me. It isn"t that I
don"t like them, it just makes me lazy.

Guitar.com: Do you run two amps out of your stereo guitar?

King: I could, but I don"t. I use one amp, but both speakers. From time to time I get both speakers at once and then sometimes one.（雖然有雙聲道的吉他，但是King沒用過，只用一個音箱）

Guitar.com: Is that switched with a foot-switch?

King: I do not have a foot-switch.

Guitar.com: Is it a knob on the guitar?

King: It"s just a regular knob on the guitar, but like I told you at first, each pickup will work independent of the other.

Guitar.com: So you plug the guitar direct into the amp and that"s it?

King: I"m gonna say it again. Maybe my English is not so good. I do not use anything other than the amp and the guitar.（爺爺我要再說一遍！！！我沒有用除了吉他和音箱之外的任何東西！！！）

Guitar.com: And that works.

King: I guess it does. That"s all I do.

因為他是bb?king所以他中頻開的多。音量開的大。

主角光環，剩下的以後補充。

關注的人好少。

可能是用的吉他或者效果器的原因。bbking的gibson是雙線圈聲音比較厚實，圓潤而與他同台的人像eric clapton，robert cray，john mayer，buddy guy大多愛用fender，而fender是單線圈，聲音比較飄，比較甜美尖冽。要麼就是用效果器，每個樂手都調成了自己最喜歡的音色。
