It makes me miss the days in the 90’s when I had the studio and real drums and we did a lot of this. We had those little Marshall Valvestates and a huge Laney. It was a music store as well so lots of guitars on hand. If I had a music store to kick around in, I'd never leave🤩 Thanks for listening, it's cool that the song sounds good on iPhone speakers. for some reason it never occurred to me to check it out👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummer is solid and has great push/pull going on. That's hard to do. It has to come naturally! And he does it well. Guitars sounded great, as did the bass. Excellent lead sound. Sounds really good. What kind of PV? PV speakers too? Your rhythm is good and chunky. Vocals out front, could hear and understand all the words!! IF I was to offer a suggestion, the kick needs some definition. At the very least more volume in the upper, to hear that "thap". What kind of mics? into what kind of mixer? into any comps? LOL!!! Excellent job! Thank you so much for posting, very cool of you. first off it was / is a very low budget project as far as recording goes. It's a big empty room with a partition in the back where the board and Teac were. Mic's, SM58 on my Marshall: SM57 on the lead (It's a Pevy Mace 2x12's I thought it was 2x10 but I was wrong) SM57 on the Bass, a Peavey Mark IV head and 2 x 15 cab. Shure beta 58A's for the Vocals: Drum mic's, PGA52 on the Kick: PGA56 on the Snare: Behringer B-5 for the Hi Hat: AKG C214's on the Cymbals: and it all went into a Mackie ProFX16v3 16-channel mixer: and I'm guessing some kind of multiband compressor was in there somewhere. and a Teac Reel to Reel. Here is a shot of my Marshall and Les Paul, and my Strat thrown in for kicks😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Ah! A real Strat made by George and Leo. I Have a G&L Tele that I got in trade for that Laney 100watt tube head I mentioned earlier. It’s been my main guitar for a long time. If you hear an electric guitar in one of my songs it’s that. Or occasionally my 1964 Guild semi hollow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) The guy who I traded said he didn’t like the sound of the G&L. I think it’s called a Astat. Made in Korea? I’m not at home so forget. It had 2 soap bar giant single coils. They are super noisy around my computer. So I found some soap bar humbuckers but I had to router the holes a little bigger. They were quiet but I didn’t like the sound I got. Not a Tele and not even close to a Gibson. Then I noticed the string spacing was wrong. Turns out why I like this guitar is it was designed with finger picking in mind and it is wider at the bridge but about 1/4”. So those replacements were wrong spacing. So I put the original back in at the bridge and a Jeff Beck Seymour Duncan at the neck. Sort of the opposite of your Strat. I coil tapped the Humbucker. So this gives me 5 sounds all good ones now. Oh and thanks for the PM Edited February 4 by John Vere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other electric is a custom built Strat. It needs better Pups because it’s to clean an quiet. I take it to gigs as a spare and on some recordings when I need the Quack. I sold off a lot of my guitar collection a few years ago. Most were pretty worn out. I mostly want them for recording and G&L covers all my favourite sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
