Forum Topic: For Sale: Musser M55 Pro Vibe

I am selling my beautiful Musser M55 pro vibe. It is an incredible instrument in great shape:

- Frame is sleek and not dinged up
- Motor is working
- In tune
- Felt is new
- String is new

The resonators are the lest appealing cosmetically, but could be easily refinished with a fresh powder coat.

This is a professional instrument in great shape. I live in the Denver area, but I will ship!

Would feel great to see it go to a loving owner!

TOTM - Summertime Resource

For the TOTM Tony mentioned that there was a bunch of Summertime stuff already on the site, so I figured it might be good to get it all together in one post. If anyone finds anything else, feel free to add it.

Summertime vibes performances:

Wave (with link to transcription) - Mark Carlsen (bass) & Ed Saindon (vibes)

I saw that Tony and Behn selected Summertime and Wave for TOTM. Both great songs. Here's a clip that I made in my studio with good friend and bassist Mark Carlsen. I love anything written by Carlos Jobim. There are so many great compositions that he has written. I'm using some different scales (including symmetrical diminished) on some of the changes here as well as some techniques using upper structure triads and triad pairs.
