Hiwatt DR201 - No Talk, Shoegaze Guitar Mini Demo

[@handwriting8804]

Can we get a demo of this quality with bass? Maybe through all of your different cabs?

Love hiwat but that is a painful ice pick tone!! Emergency bound ear perching!! Teeth removal. Treble on 10, with mids & bass cut off ? Plus that choice of axe 🤔 I don't remember causing the audience that much pain when I owned my custom 103 70's head & cab with fanes. Why so much inflicted pain on the audience 😮

I had the “ice pick” issue. It’s the 1 meg pot and also the strings being too close to the pickups or the action being too low. I lowered my pickups further in to the body of the guitar and it sounds much better and now I can play full volume and tone on a Jazzmaster and not kill peoples ears.

Lmfao dude do you know what shoegaze is? 90% of the genre uses jazzmasters, the rest either use teles or a short scale, noise is a part of the sound and if you aren't wearing ear protection at a shoegaze gig I have no hope for you lol

@@deathmetallongsleeve most of the shoegazers pickups were actually lower in to the body because the foam in the pickups deteriorated over time since most of the musicians were using second hand 60s JM’s So the guitars were not Fender PU height . So most Millenial Gen Z musicians with reissue Jazzmasters do not know about this so when they play in to clean amplifiers full volume and tone it is too much treble and yes it cuts but comes off harsh. Hence why guys like the guy above makes ice pick comments I have experimented with this and the ice pick problem went away and I still cut like butter in a band mix and the gliding technique sounds much cooler now.
