Rack opnieuw bedraden

Synthesizerrack wordt opnieuw bedraad, vanwege overgang van twee naar drie MOTU MTP's en van serial naar USB. Hopen dat dat geen latency gaat opleveren.

Steinberger snaren

Leuk, zo'n Hohner Steinberger koploze baspeddel, maar je moet er speciale snaren met ball-ends aan beide zijden voor hebben, die nogal aan de prijs zijn. Het is toch handig dat er online veilingsites zijn waar je ongebruikte snaren voor vijf euro kunt aanschaffen van mensen die zo'n peddel toch niet zo stoer vinden.....
Hier is de bas:

Little jazz sequence

Jazz sequence in a progrock song.. still need to edit the video but I will do that when the song is completed. Song will be called 'Rocket' (I think) and features the amazing Louis van der Ende on Drums and probably an incredible trumpet solo by Henk Vroon. Perhaps Henk will do some guitar as well.

Stretching the fingers

Rehearsing a solo and stretching the fingers on my Gibson ES339 through a Sansamp DI..

Brian Eastwood strat

Stratocaster, supposedly built by Brian Eastwood. (not the far-east company Eastwood but the British luthier of weird handbuilt guitars Brian Eastwood) The graphics are inspired by those on a car in a movie. ('The Fast and the Furious') I guess it is the lightest guitar I own. The guitar is slightly reliced, and not all that well made, but plays like butter in spite of its chunky neck. It was built as a prop in a videoclip, my wish is to make it a fully functional professional guitar. The pickup is made by Wilkinson but it does not sound too good, so I will swap it, and probably add a coilswitch to obtain more tonal variety. The body still needs to be clearcoated.
When I got the guitar, the pickup was not even connected. Since the body has no shielding at all (although the strings are grounded) it produces a buzz like a swarm of bees when connected to an amplifier. Obviously I will give it a proper shielding. I still have some copper foil left from other projects.

Happy Couple

Ibanez USA Custom gitaar en bas.. met een soort luipaardvel. Eigenlijk is de gitaar een RG760 uit Japanse onderdelen met DiMarzio's, die in de Custom Shop in Los Angeles in elkaar is gezet voor een klant. De bas is passief, en klinkt goed. Ik heb geen idee welke elementen er in zitten.

Guitar Amps

Some of my guitar amps.. aren't they beautiful? They sure are loud.
