Hey Giant Steps, love the handle. I'm a big Coltrane freak.

 

 

Fender Tele with Harmonic Design Super-90 in the bridge and Harmonic Design Vintage Plus in the neck position.

 

Epiphone Sheraton II with Jason Lollar Imperial Humbuckers.

 

1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe with Seymour Duncan Phat Cat in the bridge and Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck.

 

Peavey Classic 30 tube amp

 

cheap powered pedal board with a Boss TU-2 tuner, modified Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9DX, Boss GE-7 EQ (used for volume boost when I solo), and a cheap Bespeco volume pedal that I never use. I'm not big into effects; I've always said that the best effect is a good guitar player. And god help me if I ever start dropping the name "Line 6" or rambling on about modeling technology. Bleck.

 

I've played in rock groups for over 20 years - did some touring earlier this year, playing Bonnaroo in three weeks, after that, picking up gigs here and there. Not hard to find in this town.

How do you like those Super-90 pickups? Do you retain any twang? I've been thinking it would be cool to get a tele routed for a humbucker in the neck, but use a Super-90 in the bridge and a Z-90 in the neck,

 

What band are you playing with at Bonaroo?

I love the Super-90s! Another musician friend of mine swears by them, too, and he has them in a Tele and a Paul. They do have a touch of the Tele twang, but that classic Tele tone is not readily identifiable. They're bright, but not brittle, have loads of definition. The individual notes of a chord are recognizable even with loads of overdrive. The dynamic range of these things is terrific. You can back off the volume half-way or so and get some cleaner tones and gradually introduce more attack and bite by increasing the volume. I suppose the sound is somewhere between classic Tele and a P-90, but with a bit more output than a Tele pickup. Hot enough, but not super-hot and certainly not overwound. The owner is super-nice and very helpful. He'll help you achieve what you're looking for tone-wise.

 

As for the humbucker in the neck, that's a cool setup. They also have a humbucker version of the Vintage Plus. The single coil version is a great match for the Super-90, so I'd be curious to hear how the humbucker sounds in conjunction. When I bought mine several years ago, the owner had reccommended matching the Super-90 with the Vintage Plus single coil.

 

I'm playing with The Tim Lee Band; Nightclub Tent, Sunday night at 7.

Mostly I play for fun with backing tracks or to upload songs on to GuitarWar. Most of my gear is centered around home recording so I sold my analog amps and effects. I get most of my recorded tone via Guitar Port or Guitar Rig 2. I sold my all my gear to my Step-Dad so I can buy it back should I need it. But my days of playing out are over.

What do you think of the Eastwood? Anyone else have an Eastwood or know someone who does? I just stumbled upon the Eastwood Guitars link on the Wilco website. I've never seen one before--but I am intrigued. . .

i am actually selling mine right now on ebay---because i need some $$, not because it is a bad guitar. actually the one i have is well built & plays well. has a good vintage tone. no big complaints, only that the tremelo bar tends to throw it out of tune when used.

amp.jpg

Vox AD100VT Valvetronix series

although i wish i could afford an AC30 or something of the like, i think this amp is great and it serves my uses perfectly.

 

Pedalboard:

boardnumbered.jpg

1. ElectroHarmonix Holy Grail Reverb- gotta love the Holy Grail. booo to those who think its slight noisiness outweighs its amazing, spacious sound.

2. Ernie Ball Passive Volume Pedal Jr. -

3. ElectroHarmonix Pulsar Tremelo- makes sweet vintage-y tremelo. simple controls.

4. Boss DD6 Digital Delay- mmmm tasty

5. Boss CE5 Chorus Ensemble- don't like this one too much

6. ElectroHarmonix Big Muff Pi-

7. Ibanez Tube Screamer-

8. Visual Sound Route 66 American Overdrive- this one is incredible. i find it hard to believe it hasn't "broken through" to more mainstream use.

9. Boss DS1 Distortion- don't use this often, usually just to add more dirt to other ODs i have on

10. Boss CS3 Compression Sustainer

11. Fender Chromatic Tuner-

12. Dunlop Crybaby Wah Wah

 

All on a PedalPad XL, of course

 

Keyboards (pic of my band's keyboardist with them):

HPIM2083.jpg

Nord Electro 2 (73 keys)

Alesis Micro Analog Synth

Yamaha Digital Grand

 

Other Stuff:

KP2 Korg Kaoss Pas (currently broken)

Johnson Open-Back banjo

Fender Mandolin

Rogue Lap Steel

Carter Starter Pedal Steel

Hohner 32 Key Melodica

Accordion (don't know brand)

Various percussion, gadgets, bits, etc etc etc

 

what do i use it for? "my band" is the most direct answer... but i guess the more philosophical answer is "to make sounds and collections of sounds that i find unique and interesting."

 

I'm planning on tweaking my board setup--- getting rid of some of the Bosses... get a Prescription Electronics DualTone, Fulltone Mini DejaVibe, and some other ones. Also, zvex makes some amazing pedals (Loop Junky, Fuzz probe [check em out]) that i wouldnt mind having.

 

sorry about the length :cheers

Here's our list -- I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out as it's all over the house and not in one central location. Eventually we'll find the right house and have a dedicated music room with safe wiring again (renting an original 1923 house with some scary wiring), until then, we're primarily playing the acoustics - safer all around.

 

Acoustic:

Seagull Folk

Ibanez AW40 "Tree of Life" dreadnought - got it at a firesale price

Larrivee custom OM-09 - bought used from a studio musician

 

Electric:

1966 Gibson ES-330 Cherryburst

1971 Gibson ES-335 Cherry

1985 Squier (Japanese-made Strat copy, my husband's first guitar)

???? Jackson - bought used for $75 off Craigslist

200x Epiphone DOT - project guitar that my husband is rewiring and customizing

2008 Custom Heatley guitar - luthier just got the "right" wood and is going to start building with an early 2008 completion date

 

Other:

Roland SX-700 keyboard

multiple amps that don't work in our current house due to old wiring (or are too dangerous to use due to potential fire danger)

Fender Hot Rod

Epiphone Valve Junior

Line-6 Pod

custom-made pedals
