It's taken long than I wanted and that was no fault of Chris Fouke's, it was couriers and customs






Now if I could only play it like some of you!

Awesome, very "industrial".

What kind of pickups are those? Lollars? TrueTones?

True Tones.

It it's got some lovely chiming sounds when clean and with a little bit of drive it's got some great fat tones with a bit of grit to it. I'm glad I didn't sell my HR Deville now, they go together well.

Now it's getting down with the basics.

There is a pretty hot PSG player in the next town who i might contact to help me

It's been a long time since I was last shopping for steels, feeling like I was missing something.

The True Tone is a great sounding pickup. Excellent choice!

That turned out great Smile

I've got a True Tone 8 here that I'm using in a new project, looking forward to seeing how it sounds.

nearest the bass side is the tone pot and then you've got the bridge volume and neck volume, the pickup seem to be wired in parallel.
