Billy Gibbons & Blackberry Smoke

How did I miss this band for so long? Just great music.

Nick en Simon - Vrij - 12-4-2012

The bass player is using an Otentic Bass with my P-bass pickups. There's a good bottom end out of the guitar. Very smooth. That's the straight vintage wind with heavy formvar wire. I also do an overwound version with plain enamel.

Joe Bonamassa Visits Rumble Seat Music

Nice trio of vintage 'bursts. I have never heard of the amp he's playing through but it is sweet.

Vintage Premium P.A.F. Soundclips

I have added new soundclips to my site done by Dom Polito of Classic Albums Live. The pickups in the clips are V-59 Premium Vintage using butyrate bobbins, PAF correct alloy screws, other specific alloys and magnets gaussed to vintage specs. I will offer all my vintage winds as Premium Vintage.

Fuzz: The Sound That Changed The World

Excellent documentary about the fuzz pedal, from the early days to present. There's a few familiar faces in there as well.

No explanation needed.

Newtone Strings

Now I'm torn. The Newtone strings I put on my R8 are simply the best I've ever tried. Let me qualify that: they are the best round core pure nickel strings I've ever tried. I think the hex core are neck and neck with Snake Oil strings.

The round core are nice and percussive, very round sounding. Not dark, not overly bright. I was concerned I would lose volume with these as opposed to hex core but I have not found that to be the case. I have found these strings to be a must for that late 60's, early 70's guitar tone.
