Members damacy Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for posting this. I really dig the music, I like it raw and gritty. At times, it reminds me of the Spiderland record, which is one of my favourite records of all-time. By the way, did you get to try out his Harmonic Percolator?

Members Mikoo69 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have to listen to silkworm. spiderland by slint is one of ny favorite records ever, though I didn't discover it until a few months ago. no I didn't try out the harmonic percolator haha...that brings to mind my biggest regret from the sessions was not asking steve to break out his stilts haha.

Members Mikoo69 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 just want to clarify, incase it's not clear...any sections that i didn't list an effect for means that it's just the sound of the amp, volume on 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikoo69 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 The bass rig is a bit simpler. Bass: 1976 Fender P-Bass Amp: 1966 Fender Bassman (Vintage Blackface 50 watt) For speakers we used 2 of Electrical Audio's custom built 15 inch cabinets loaded with EVM-15L speakers. Effects: Boss TU-3 Tuner Crowther Prunes and Custard Pigtronix Attack/Sustain DR Hi-Beam Bass Strigns Dunlop 2.0mm Picks The Prunes is the main overdrive sound, and the Attack/Sustain is used for songs like "It's Good Enough Now" to give a more synth like envelope, added sustain, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you definitely should've! The record keeps growing on me. It's amazing that it's recorded live. No overdubs on the guitar part especially, I wouldn't have noticed that unless mentioned earlier. Can you please tell us more about the Strat, like pickups, etc.? Finally found someone who plays a Strat for something other blues noodling!

Members Mikoo69 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 thanks damacy. the band practices a lot but most importantly has great chemistry, both musically and personally. the strat is a 62 reissue, the same one you can buy from any retailer. they have custom 62 reissue pickups, but i don't have anymore info on them. I got my first one in 2002 and have been breaking it in for the past 8 years. it never goes out of tune, even when i beat the living {censored} out of it. Live, I abuse it, yet it's never had a problem. I recently bought a second one (in black finish) because frankly, it's the only guitar i can play on. A lot of what i do has to do with constant volume knob manipulation and the strat's volume knob is placed perfectly to control with my pinky, while i pick/strum. I've tried the standard american strats before and they just don't feel or sound nearly as good. I'm thinking about getting a 3rd guitar soon. A 62 reissue strat in all white haha. Maybe one day i'll own an actual vintage 62, though vintage guitars are way out of my budget. that being said, i do play an original 65 deluxe reverb and compared to the reissues, it's totally worth the investment.

Members Liff Posted August 21, 2010 Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 does 62 reissue comes with treble bleed? your control of the volume really adds a lot of depth to the record thanks damacy. the band practices a lot but most importantly has great chemistry, both musically and personality wise. the strat is a 62 reissue, the same one you can buy from any retailer. they have custom 62 reissue pickups, but i don't have anymore info on them.

Members Mikoo69 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0100100805 there are the specs. i'm not sure if the 2002 models were built the same (the one on record is the 2002, sunburst)...however, the 2009 one i own feels and sounds exactly the same. what do you mean "treble bleed"?

Members lank81 Posted August 21, 2010 Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 Really diggin the record so far. There's some great sounds on there. Thanks for the play by play with the effects. As for the singing, I enjoy it. It reminds me of Cold War Kids to a degree. Not totally but reminiscent of it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
