Jesus. Music is getting blander by the day.

Yes - hence my big fat belly. 😄 (I'm still not convinced it ain't pick, mind)

Yeah - I like John (I’m on that thread too), but my ears tell me pick. But like I say, I seem to be wrong.

I would have bet the farm on it, but apparently I'm wrong...

I didn't know this, but now I do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponk

I would argue the ponk isn't mixed out - it's as it is on the isolated recording.

Flats and muting (and, up for debate, a pick). Perfect.

Forget what they sound like... do the silks line up? Ha ha

Incredible thread(sic). I'm genuinely amazed that this is a thing.

Hi all - I've merged a few similar threads into this one, 'cos It's probably more useful to have all the advice in one place.

The (non-stock) pickup in my '73 P always felt a little bland. I had a Limelight pickup knocking about, so I thought I'd drop it in. It's very nice.

Just spotted a load more 'past builds' have been added to the Limelight website... https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/limelight-custom-gallery/

Naturally!

Basschat doesn't control market values, and nor should it.

Is this fella staring at us out of the grain, or am I imagining it?

Yup.

Here's one I put together last week from phone footage. The track already existed, of course.

Just for fun, I put rounds on my LPB P yesterday (yes, that's how bored I am). It sounded nice...

Here's #3...

Very nice! If you can forgive me for a nit-pick, I think he hits the A more often than the C# on the verse 🙂

Cheers, Al. The song was recorded just before the restrictions came in. The drums were done at the drummer's house, the bass in my house (Handbox R-400 DI > cheap little Focusrite > Adobe Audition), and we sent the files to the guitarist. He just has a protools set up in a small room in his house, which is where we also did all the vocals, violin & accordion. I don't think he has any clever outboard stuff, just a few nice mics and a good ear. The video was necessitated by the restrictions - I put it together from mobile phone selfie vids, as you've probably guessed. In't technology marvellous?
