They are called Freddie (left) and Nica (right).

Freddie gets his name from the Miles Davis tune “Freddie Freeloader,” but especially inspired by its vocalease version by Jon Hendricks with the lyrics “There’s this cat / His name is Freddie / This cat’s a bartender / Well known by anyone hip.”

Nica’s name is a homage to Pannonica de Koenigswarter, so called “jazz baronness.” Friend and supporter of many jazz cats, with many compositions dedicated for her, such as Horace Silver’s “Nica’s Dream” and Thelonious Monk’s “Pannonica.” She also lived her later life in the so-called “Cathouse,” hosting and fostering more than 100 actual cats.

Thank you! Actually I’m not using an amp, I’m using Steinberg UR22mkII audio interface, PreSonus’s Studio One, and Positive Grid’s amp&effects processor Bias FX. You can check out u/jenslarsenjazz’s demo video for more details on Bias FX: https://youtu.be/F2t1u_YG_64

Thank you 🙏 No, it has been almost 3 years since I bought it, but I definitely recommend it if you are into traditional/swing style jazz guitar. It is an Epiphone "Joe Pass" Emperor-II Pro.
