Members riffy Posted April 29, 2010 Members Share Posted April 29, 2010 5150 is mic'ed up with an SM57 close to the cap and mixed a bit lower than the Senn MD421 that is mixed off axis near the cap edge. Way different mic'ing than I normally use. The guitar is a Les Paul with a BG Pickups Hellarail in the bridge. All of this is the Hellarail. I added delay to the lead track at mixdown. Love to know what you guys think of this mic'ing techniques sound. Gary I forgot, the cab mic'ed is an oversized Recto with Vintage 30 speakers http://www.mp3lizard.com/download.cfm?id=27543 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CoqBelliqueux Posted April 29, 2010 Members Share Posted April 29, 2010 I can only hear one second.And now it works. I find that it lacks some focus. It's a typical slightly sludgy 5150 tone! How low do you tune?! Cool wanky music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members riffy Posted April 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hey guys! Thank everyone of you for listening and taking time to comment as well. A very special thank you to Bryan for this KILLER pickup. It is my favorite pickup I have ever used... Head and shoulders above anything else Ihave ever had in a guitar. Lets give Bryan and BG Pickups some love! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffy Posted April 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2010 Oh, btw, this is recorded in a VERY CHEAP fashion. Mic's into a cheapie Mackie mixer. That goes straight into the 50 cent sound card that came inthis computer at 16/44.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted April 30, 2010 Members Share Posted April 30, 2010 Can you post a nice close up or macro shot of the Hellarail? Bryan's pics were too dark to see the rails and bobbins. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted April 30, 2010 Members Share Posted April 30, 2010 Looks similar to a Crunchy Rails. Anyone have both that can compare? I already have a Crunchy Rails and it's pretty decent for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffy Posted May 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks guys! I really appreciate it so much...Crunchy Rails? I have played an Ibanez with a Crunchy Rails in it.It isn't even close to the clarity that the Hellarail has. It isn't a badpickup mind you, it just isn't in the Hellarails league.

Members GilmourD Posted May 1, 2010 Members Share Posted May 1, 2010 Looks similar to a Crunchy Rails. Anyone have both that can compare? I already have a Crunchy Rails and it's pretty decent for the price. My brother has a Crunchy Rails in his Ibanez GAX75 (I think that's the model). I think it's partly suffering from the guitar that it's in (the unplugged tone doesn't thrill me), but it's a good pickup. It's just not a BG Pup. Like I always say... If you want Duncan/DiMarzio quality and tone at a lower price, go GFS. If you want the same quality and more awesomeness than Lollar, Van Zandt, OC Duff, or Custom Shop Duncans for a price that won't make your wallet cry, go with Bryan.
