1972 Gibson showcase brochures
|
 In 1972 Gibson produced a series of 'Guitar of the Month' brochures, each dedicated to one of their high end models, the Les Paul Recording guitar, L5-CES, ES-175D, Super 400-CES, ES-355TD-SV and
Byrdland. Each brochure was a single sheet folded into four panels, with details of the instruments themselves, their features, musical purpose, and a little history behind the development of each guitar. Only the Les Paul Recording was a new model; the others were all well established in the Gibson line. Follow the link to see scans and further information on these leaflets and other Gibson guitar catalogues from the CMI and Norlin periods.

1961 Vox Stroller
|
 The earliest versions of the Vox Stroller were actually copies of an early Japanese electricguitar, the Guyatone (also sold under the brand Antoria) LG50. These Strollers, although short-lived did undergo a few changes before taking on the more familiar Strat influenced style of many mid-sixties UK-built Vox guitars. The biggest difference between early and late LG50-style Strollers (and the two pickup version, the Shadow) was the larger pickup, a shade longer, but noticeably wider used in the very first Vox guitars. Compare this early Vox to a 1963 Stroller with the later V1 pickup. For more information about Vox guitar pickups in general, see the Vox guitar pickups page.

 new recording
New mix of Kha-Tess Part 4 - including the end of Part 3 that oozed out: http://soundcloud.com/hieronymous-se...t-3-8-part-4-1 - it includes (slightly) more straight-ahead bass playing, albeit distorted and often with an octaver and delay. Here's a pic from the day of the recording session, with its cousin:
(at least I don't think I've posted it in this thread)

I'm back with more music! Started a new band - we started with a more "soul jazz" orientation but it's grown from that. It's a trio - just guitar, bass and drums - lots of improvisation, with a skilled guitarist and sensitive drummer, so I'm very happy!
I started out using my Fenders (Duck Dunn Signature Precision, "'70s P-Bass" with Alembic P-J pickups), but at the last rehearsal I pulled out the Triumph. It was a lot of fun! Need to practice more on it, but I thought it sounded good. In this clip you are hearing the direct signal, with some pretty hefty compression from my CAJ tube compressor (had it set behind me and didn't realize how hard I was pushing it) - then during mixing I put the signal through my Alembic F-2B preamp. I am pretty sure I am using an Adamas graphite pick. I'm thinking of putting rounds back on it but not sure. Anyways, enjoy!

Another new track - this one in a much heavier vein - same setup as in the previous post, but with distortion too (Fulltone Bass Drive, soon to be replaced with a Home Brew Electronics Hematoma), and this time I'm pretty sure I'm playing with fingers. The slight distortion at the beginning is from driving the compressor a little too hard - can't really tell with all the other instruments but soloed it's more obvious.
