Episode 82 - The Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee
This week we are fortunate to have with us another great Ernie Ball Music Man instrument, the Albert Lee signature model. This one has the optional tremolo and tapped humbuckers, for when you need some single coil action. Along the way we discover what it would take for Ed to get his very first tattoo, we drink some beverages, and play some pedals. And oh yeah - we answer the question “who is Albert Lee?”
