pOOR mOON - cANNED hEAT

I'm still waiting on Jiamie (the Creamery fellow) to respond to a question. I know form other interested parties that this can take a while. He's obviously busy. Jaime already said that the Domino Split Coils were more like a Fender single coil sound. This would be enough to sway me, but the output seems much higher. That may only be because of the way its configured though. I just dont know! Yes Lollar and Kent Armstrong are always going to be on any shortlist.

I have nothing to offer to the discussion here guys, but I have followed with interest. I am not anywhere near in the same league as Tom or Mahesh as a singer, but I persevere for some weird reason (stubbornness?)

I have now gigged the Elite with both Blown Out and with Vinyl Frontiers. It did well. I used the Fender Stage amp + POD HD400 with Blown Out, and the small Fishman LoudBox Artist amp with VF. The LoudBox is a small amp for acoustic guitars. I was also using it at very low volume. So I got as clean a signal as it was possible to get really. It proved what I suspected with the full size rig; that the Duncan Designed pickups are a little rich for my taste. I don’t know what the output is, but its ‘hot’. So I am researching alternative pickups. Here are 2 from the Creamery here in the UK. I’m considering the Domino Split Coils: http://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/custom-handwound-pickups-from-the-creamery/domino-split-coil-single-coil-voiced-humbuckers.html and this, Classic Black Cat: http://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/custom-handwound-pickups-from-the-creamery/black-cat-humbucker-sized-filtertron-style-pickups.html

Instant Karma - John Lennon

it stinks alright. I played that song last night at a seaside venue to an appreciative audience (me & 6 others) in Lee-On-Solent. The Music Business was always more business than music, but the golden goose was spared in order to keep the egg supply going. Now I know that the business has suffered massively due to the nature of modern tech, so this looks like their way of passing the hurt on to the goose.

You put it nicely into perspective Randy. I'll keep 'em, but not in the front yard.

Well we still pay more than 20% more than you in the US. Nice links. I like the variax interface. So much easier than the Pod HD which is like this I am used to it now. At first I tried doing all the sound construction on the Pod unit itself. Damn is that hard! Now I just connect to the laptop and tinker away. I left the Pod HD400 at home yesterday and played with Vinyl Frontiers using just the little Fishman (built for acoustics) Loudbox Amp. We played very quietly as we were at a beachside restaurant and had to carry all the gear down the banks from the road. TBH it was nice for a change just to just use the amp by itself. I always learn something when you post Mike. Thanks

I have note books full of waffle with lyric potential. Most of them will stay unused. Sometimes I wonder if I should throw them away. Are they keeping me mired down in the past? Some song ideas that never came to fruition are worthy of rescue though. Who else has this problem?

Mike, Do you mean never made it to Europe? I find it amazing that Fender made a Les Paul (Esprit/Flame) and that Gibson made a Stratocaster (Victory).

Ive now gigged the Esprit with both Blown Out (soul-ska-rock) on Saturday (2-7-16) and also Vinyl Frontiers (jazz-pop) on Sunday (3-7-16). Blown Out is a lot louder & I used my Fender Stage amp with a Line 6 signal processor. I used a small Fishman Loudbox Artist with VF. Clean tones only. The Esprit sounded very good in both roles. However I've been wanting a (Fender style) single coil sound for a long time and thought this might be the guitar to do it with. UK pickup maker 'The Creamery' make such single coil pickups that fit into humbucker apertures. They are called Domino Split Coils. I'm still wondering about it. The Duncan Designed pickup were a lot better than I thought they would be though.

very useful Rob. Thanks

It was nearly 'Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash' until Tull occurred to me. I tried to return with 'Tubercular Balls - Lol Coxhill' but there are no videos of it, so now it's old Quo instead.

Hi Mahesh, I have not heard of FLAC or DAC. I was one of those who thought CDs sounded the same or better than vinyl. MP3s do sound a bit thin sometimes, but it does the job. I prefer not to use headphones, but will sometimes. Super-Car? Your not old enough to remember that. Mike Mercury never had any music in Supercar and I've seen all the episodes. I cant listen & read. Thats multi-tasking. I have no prefered listening method-environment. I'm aware thats boring. Maybe I should. It certainly aint the shower or in the car. I'm open to suggestions though.
