usually, someone who shows you what to read, when to read it, is a 'teacher.'

a dad is someone who spanks your ass because you knocked his beer over.

DEMO'd

starts off with rhythm circuit on green setting of clean channel on my jvm. at about 00:15, the lead circuit comes in with bridge pickup playing through the jvm's od1 on green. there's a octave part overlaying the chorus at 1:27 which is the lead circuit bridge through the jvm's crunch channel on orange.




and now i have to figure out why the fuck i'm getting those random pops and clicks in my recordings in sonar. =\

After reading Aen’s post and listening to Dots’ demo I’ve (finally) ordered a dream 90 to replace the neck pickup of my long serving Epiphone Riviera. Can any of the UK shortscalers give me a rough estimate on how long a GFS order takes to reach these shores?

My Sound, My Style, Awesome demo. I'm definitely looking at getting a Jag HH so to hear those GFS PuPs sound so awesome is a cool future choice.

Thanks,

sounds right. they ship out of massachusetts, so the hop over the pond shouldn't take too long.

GFS certainly proves that inexpensive is not the same as cheap. Every interaction Ive had with them and their products has been positive, even on the two circumstances that the product didn't work as described they were quick to correct the issue.

I positively fucking love the HumCancelling high output singlecoil from them that I put into the bridge of my Hagstrom. It has more output than the JB Jr in my Jag.

Here's a quick photoshop I did a while back showing benecol's SG with robroe covers and then with black pickup ring screws. I think that sort of look, also with black pickguard screws (keeping the chrome ones on the chrome plates) would look awesome on that guitar as I said in San Diego.
