Vernon, I love that sound, it sounds like an Emmons now,
and I love to hear you play. You've got a Great Style.
You could sure teach me a lot, if you lived close to me.

hey vern...you play great...you don't need all the delay/reverb.

have you tried the alumitones with the zum? i use my old emmons single coils on my old zum and it seems to work fine. but keep up your experimenting...it keeps me from having to do it.

Zum 710's

Post by Vernon Hester »

Carl, Would be nice,we could jam every day,have a good time.
Chris, No, I had the 710's in my MSA and took them out and installed some 705's .
The Zum came with 1982 19k Emmons single coil with Palmer etched on the back.He must have been the Guy who wound those.
They sound great except the highs are better on the 710's..
Thanks Chuck.
