This is why I'm saving up to buy a Steinberger GM4T. The sound on it is so luscious when it comes to playing sebene!

Fantastic guitar......now what the hell is wrong with JB ,how many years now no album not even a single. Now i agree with EMO,it's not about wanting to produce quality music but being totally lazy and complacent. So what do the BCBG musicians do during the week, you mean none of the guys can release even a single with permission,don't they buy songs from composers,all too lazy.

this are parts of one of the generiques,the one in the style of quel est ton probleme

This pièce (Sapeur voice) will collect dust

Actually they tour a lot and just release new dances on the concert along with songs but somehow JB asked cameramans to not film new cries... Which is unlogical since people are actually waiting those new cries and songs. I don't know what is wrong with JB? I mean why after almost 8 years from the single he is still not releasing?

This is what upsets us - Mukulu has some fresh and vibrant talent, but they’re not given the chance to get releases on the market to be appreciated. Imagine if a générique was released with those kinda crisp licks? People would go crazy
We can’t continue to have to go to minute 45 of some private “friends and family” concert to listen to present BCBG sebene

Especially when it has that "Makabaesque" sound!

Because its vintage, it would cost around £3000-7000 ish it's pretty expensive because these models are not made anymore.

damn they're expensive af

That's right because they were popular in the 80s, Ned Steinberger sold his company to Gibson but a few years down the line, they stopped with the Steinberger creations and sold the last few guitars off.

JB is wasting these guys' prime years.
Tolbert should have blessed the genre with tons of gems. This is criminal.
What's wrong with Mukulu? Whenever he talks it's only about 'victimes vestimentaires', etc.

It is not that expensive, especially if you can let the tremolo idea go. Roga Roga did not use tremolo at all, I think.

Yeah, because this one that I linked is modified, but if you replace the neck pickup that is the most essential in Congolese music back to the original EMG, you are still at discount price, and get the usual Steinberger sound.
By the way, as far as color is concerned, Makaba played the black color variant back in the 80's as I remember.
-
yeah true, he became back with it in 1986, after living for sometime in Belgium and used it until 1994. In 1994 he got that white steinberger, which he sold last year.

WTFFF how did I miss this?! This is fire. Naaaa Tolbert Solo needs to go somewhere else, Let him go to Ferre's group, Or F'Victeam he'd easily fill the void left by Alva, or Maison Mere, Heckkk go even to Quartier Cindy. My point is all those groups would make better use of him than Faux leader Jb has done, what is this?? EMO is 100000% correct with what he says about Jb and Bcbg.

here is him playing on junior mpiana's song with that guitar

Anyway you can recreate this sound on any proper guitar I think, if you have the right pickup plus set the strings as low as possible. That nice ringing that you can here on the guitar notes are actually the strings set low. The reverse of this are old records from the 50's and 60's when they had guitars with stings set high, this ringing was impossible in that setup.
I will try it once when I can get hold of some EMG pickups.
