I agree with you that Basel sound is lifeless compared to others but it's not due to the Pensa

if you listen to Mandela 88,Knebworth 90,Basel 92,On The night ''93''
the sound of the MK1 is completely different in each of them

I should have specified that I meant the clean sound. When he plays Sultans at the Mandela, Basel and the London (Golden Heart) shows, it sounds lifeless to me. Mostly due to the EMG pickups I think. The overdriven sounds are nice I think. Always loved You and your friend from On the night.

Having said that, I think the Pensa Suhr is the best guitar I have heard with EMG pickups. Listen to Vince Gill's Fender Stratocaster and it sounds so "plastic".

Just searched for some pictures of the black Pensa Suhr and came across some nice ones:

Not a very good pic...but..

[superval99]

WOW!   Nice pictures!   The black guitar's not bad either!   

[Jackal]

Why not two?

 

 


Does anyone know if there is video from the Clapton tour that Mark was part of and where he played the black Pensa? There's plenty on YT where he plays the "yellow one".

[Jackal]

Wow, didn't know he played this guitar on A Love Idea as well:

There is a video from the EC tour from the RAH from 12.01.87 that has MK playing his black PS.

Quality is poor though so it's not great to watch.

From Guy today: "Ian will be touring with us soon." That DOES sound like a tour still this year, doesn't it?

He most probably will be - with Dylan in the US!

I much prefer the "old" version from 78-79 with slide on the thinline
and for the "modern" version, Vaison 96 is far better than this one IMHO : double bass intro, Les Paul 58 tone, gorgeous:P

I find the synth click a little bit cheesy here

[Pottel]

Omg, the wailing intro, nothing beats that...always loved this version! Also, Paul f. Is brilliant on this

[emilianomk]

Q: Hi guy, same subjet again. Is mark going to come to south america soon? thanks!   


A: Forgive me but I cannot say

until this answer I had hopes but not anymore, seems to be another Europe / Us tour

He replied something about being right on the money with a guess about a release this autumn and a tour next spring.
