PTB Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I like 'em too. Mike Merritt also plays in the house band for one of the US late night chat shows. Look on the Premier Guitar website for the Jimmy Vivino rig rundown to see Mike talking about his gear. He's the son of jazz bassist, Jymie Merritt.

MisterT Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'm well aware how old this thread is but a friend just shoved Bonamassa's name in front of me as a possible go-see and I thought I'd have a rummage around t'tube. Have been playing this stuff all afternoon... stunning, and even better in that sort of setting. Came on here to see if there was much love for this bunch.
