Gold Top Blues clip - dynamics

[Jimi75]

Hey folks,
I did my first test recording with the Gold Top to show the dynamic controle with the volume poti.

I used the middle postion only (neck volume on 2), started with bridge volume on 4, then on 6, then 9-10.

For recording I used Line6 Gearbox software, Bassman59 model, slight volume and drive boost with the RAT model which is on all the time, box model 4x12 Greenback 25. This comes as close as possible to my rehearsal room sound.

For those who wanna play more disciplined than I do, try to catch the following target notes in the end of your runs over the chords.
F# Blues: F# --> Bb ; B --> Eb; C# --> B or C#

I hope you like the clip.

Very nice sounding and playing.

I'm not an LP guy, well maybe I should say - "I wasn't an LP guy"

Note to self: add LP to list

Wow, that's nice Jimi = I just realized that it's run through at least 4 times while I was reading posts - and I enjoyed every minute. Great sound and playing.

Do you know the pot values on your guitar? Your clips sounds brighter than anything I get with my LPs. I'm thinking I need to change something. Anyway, I like the sounds you get with that axe. It sounds fairly versatile. Thanks for putting up the clip.

Yeah, that sounds real sweet Jimi. You make that LP cry real nice. Definite MOOD music for slow dancin', for sure! :AOK:

Spud, it was a lot of tweaking with the software and with the real amph in the rehearsalroom. I decided to get my main sound from the middle position, so I tweaked the amp to sound bright enough for the middle pos. I can easily switch to the bridge pu where the tone pot is on about 6. It took me some hours to get that system work for me, but the result is exactly to the point what I was looking for. I made plans to change the pots, but for now I am quite satisfied.

Anyways, vol = 300k, tone = 500k
The setting was:
neck vol: 2
neck tone: 10
bridge vol: varied, see above
bridge tone: 6

Our next gig on 21.06.09 has been cancelled unfortunately, but I guess that this guitar does a brilliant job at gigs. The rehearsals with the GT are awesome already. I have never thought of the LP as such a versatile weapon.

Nice sounds Jimi! I like your phrases and licks very much, and the tone is just great!

Outstanding, Jimi! Has what I call that "woozey bluesy" sound: the tempo, the woozey bends and vibrato, and the short, sharp staccato stabs. Great demo of your talent and the LP! :bravo:
