Very cool!! Great song choice and impressive playing! I wish I could play guitar like that. I have an explorer that my brother gave me but I came to the realization that my hands just refuse to cooperate with a guitar neck!

Awesome cover and what a great band. They made the right move ditching Richard Hell and getting Billy into the fold, although I did dig the Voidoids too.

Agreed, the Heartbreakers are criminally underrated! I may do a guitar cover of "Chinese Rocks." And speaking of Richard Hell, a bass cover of "Blank Generation" could also be in the works. NYC was just brimming with talent in the mid '70s.

This sounds fantastic. I have a pack of those same tapes that I haven't used yet, but I think I'm gonna slap 'em on the L2000 pretty soon. I've actually never used tapewounds before, but this video makes me believe they'll sound great.
@schepler2 Ай бұрын
Thanks, Justin! For me, tapewounds are perfect because you get the sound of flatwounds without the high string tension of flats. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

You’re burying the lede: she was attempting to follow the officers’ directive to “drop the pot”-not protect herself from them. Both times this order was given she did not have the pot in her hands. Guns drawn, threat to kill made, order given twice for something she couldn’t do (drop the pop)-because she didn’t possess it. So, to stop the threat/follow orders, she finally grabs the “steaming-hot” pot of water that rests above her head and DROPS IT-hot water falling from it-as the “officers” yelled at her to do. Simple. These roided-out cowards need to be rooted out and work in a field somewhere. Positively contribute to society for once.

It's so great to see you playing old school funk, Aaron! You've certainly got a strong feel for it! My ears are telling me you have flat wounds on that J-bass and that you're playing with little to no bridge pickup and some medium compression - am I even close? Either way, another job well done, man!
@schepler2 5 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks again, Dan! The J Bass has nickel-coated rounds (Rotosound). Plus, I roll the treble all the way off and EQ it a bit so that it sounds nice and round. It helps to compensate for the attack of the pick--although from everything I can gather, John Persh played with a pick on many songs. Compression is probably 4:1 on this track, I don't remember.

@@schepler2 OK - good to know! As I mentioned my EARS were telling me flats - but my EYES ------ they were seeing some sort of round-wound string because there's no inkling of glare being reflected despite the bright light.
