Douglas Kirby 766 Posted January 15 Hi Everybody, This is a song I just remixed from "The Westerly Sessions Vol. IV" - one I never posted. I used my brother's Danelectro 12-string - gives it a bit of a retro vibe. I sang this with a Sennheiser MK4 mic, which I like a lot. Also, I sang it through a Studio Projects VTB-1 mic preamp - it actually sounds pretty good to me on this one. As always, any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening. Here it is: https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14132180 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 983 Posted January 21 Sounds great as always, Doug. Really like the guitar solo (is that the Danelectro? - I don't know much about guitars). -Bjorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a lot cheaper than a Rickenbacker 12-string, and sounds pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
