I think James is a 100% TB guy. One of the few that plays fast.
Sugar Blue is a 100% pucker guy and you gotta agree that he's got a
pretty
amazing proficiency in executing fast musical single notes lines
with
intricate bends and has sharp, clear presence of each note.

I prefer pucker over anything else. I TB when I need to but I really
don't hear a diffrence in tone when amplified.
I have yet to hear a TBer have as an acoustic as some of the pucker
players.
Yet those same pucker players can't match the TB guys in amplified
tone. One would think there would be a direct correlation between
acoustic and ampified tone. There seems not to be...
Personally, I have a much bigger and rounder acoustic tone than Jason
Ricci but he absolutely kills me with the amilifier... can't figure
that stuff out.
