Here's a new article for Duncan on guitar-building...

It's ALIVE: Building a Parts Strat - Guitar Pickups, Bass Pickups, Pedals

http://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/uncategorized/its-alive-building-a-parts-strat/

Building your own Strat-style guitar is one of the most fun and rewarding experiences I've discovered. I started as a teen, inspired by Eddie Van Halen, and never stopped. I was mesmerized by all the inner workings and details that came together to make a killer sounding, classy-looking guitar that played great too.

Sweet! One day, one day! Same as Perth, everyones in the metalcore phase. That's why I'm taking my chances with the internet and trying to expose our music that way. Seems to be getting there! We play gigs as well but it's kind of difficult finding good venues to play at in Perth that accomodates our music. But spread the word and hopefully one day we will get to tour the country and maybe even the world!

Well, this is the 'show your work' thread, and your work is outstanding. Keep at it men!!

Another pickup review for Duncan, this time the JB/STK-S6 combo in my Warmoth Koa Strat known as "Excalibur"....

More S/H Superstrat Pickup Combo Adventures: The JB/STK-S6 Set - Guitar Pickups, Bass Pickups, Pedals

For those that read my last review of the 59/Custom Hybrid and the STK-S7 used as an S/H combo (or as a primer for anyone that didn't), l love Strats with Floyds and S/H pickup combos. That's probably my No.1 favorite pickup combo, followed by a S/S/S combo with a vintage Strat bridge, and then any LP-style two humbucker setup (Floyd optional!).

(Gotta love they decided to use the picture of both guitars I've been using for testing...

)

Here's an article on assembling pedal boards that could fit within TSA-travel restrictions for checked bags and could conceivably do road-work. Alex Grossi of Quiet Riot contributed a pic of his board...

Here's my band playing some Motorhead in Cumbernauld last week.

Me on Bass.

Here's an interview I recently did with 8-string shredder Sarah Longfield...

**Jérôme Frenchise** · 10-03-2012, 12:46 PM

Damned! I need to take an 8-day break to listen to all the music posted here!
I missed this thread, I wonder how, though there have been whole periods while
I didn't log in.

I feel it's a bit suicidal on my part, but I'll post a link to one of my current band's tunes...
I'm in charge of the vocals and the lyrics.

http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=15242937&ac=now

"Don't blame it on rock 'n' roll". We recorded it in 2008, as well as 5 other songs.
We did them with everybody playing at once. 4 original songs (original, though quite
a lot of parts sound like we've heard it before

) plus 2 covers, including the
Stones' "Get off of my cloud". Maybe I'll dare post it in the Covers Thread.

We made a self-produced album last year, but we're about to re-mix it, so I'd rather post
links to a couple of tunes from it when the remixing is done.

maybe you were looking for it in gear street, where it belongs.
Started out as a composition thing, but changed into everything else.

good stuff regardless, thanks for posting

OK, new goofery... here's the first recording of the Bomber guitar... new pickups sound pretty cool, too!

**jhale667** · 10-06-2012, 08:34 PM

Also messed around with the clean tracks of a tune I'd been working on prior to the old system crash:

Still drunk n'...

http://soundcloud.com/jayhaleguitar/still-drunk-n

Re-installed Pro Tools and some plug-ins pre-PT 10 crossgrade, playing around with the clean tracks for "Drunk and Horny"

**jhale667** · 10-14-2012, 07:49 PM

Having too much fun with Pro Tools 10...the goal wasn't to jump into reworking old tunes this weekend, just to familiarize myself with the new features and work out the bugs which I seem to have accomplished.

There's all kinds of cool preset drum loops you can use, organized by genre when you pull up a session template... here's how I mangled their "Hip Hop" preset...

The Not Hip Hop

http://soundcloud.com/jayhaleguitar/the-not-hip-hop

New riff of the day No.2! Guitar Used: Beth Deth Charvel w/ Seymour Duncan Custom 8, EVH D-Tuna and FU 37mm Brass Big Block.

Also got a riff down this morning that I'd had to put down as a frickin' BBVN when the system was down a few months ago... nice to finally be able to HEAR what it was supposed to sound like...

Gone Riff

OK, got Recabinet 3 working...dialing heavy guitars back in...

Drunk n Hugely

http://soundcloud.com/jayhaleguitar/drunk-n-hugely

Got Recabinet 3 installed and working, so going back and re-cab'ing tracks...here's "Drunk n' Horny" with the dirty guitars (Purple and Excalibur) dialed back in.

Here's a clip from last week. I was performing at a Tribute concert for a local legend Karl Kelly who recently was taken by cancer. I'm playing bass and singing with one of his past groups.
I'm blues approved baby!

**ashstralia** · 11-11-2012, 03:55 AM

Fucking killer, les! Reminds me of this quote by the great man...

It's always irritated me that people say, 'Where's the action? Oh wow, there's no action here; let's go somewhere else.' These people will never find the action.
David Lee Roth
