I'm sorry but i have to disagree with you on this one. I don't think "thin" is a word i would ever use to describe Cat's sound. His was much the opposite of that, in fact I would argue that he had the fattest lead sound of anyone I've heard. Unless we have different definitions of "thin"...

Since I am not personally familiar with Cat's sound, I was relying on how a friend described it to me in the early 1970's.
He also said that Brisbois had a thin tone, which apparently even Brisbois admitted.
I think of "thin" as lacking lower harmonics.
So a sound can be extremely powerful but thin at the same time.
You have me curious now, so I want to check up on Cat's recordings to see what he really sounded like.
But I know from experience that most Maynard recordings did not convey what Maynard sounded like in person, so the same might be true regarding Cat's recordings.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention so that I can look into it.
