Title: Stormy Monday Youtube clip
Post by: tomjackson on January 28, 2008, 02:22:50 PM

I've put 4 clips on youtube.  Gordon Smith GS2 with Stormy Monday's through a fender Vibro Champ XD.  Here's the first video that will lead you to the others!

Nice stuff. I liked 16 bar minor blues. Very cool.

The obvious highlight though was your faces in Country Jingle  :D

I loved the blues, they are awesome!  Yeah, the faces in the Country Jingle are funny.  Same for the Spanish Jazzy #.  My favorite was the Rodger funk.

Thanks for the compliments, glad you liked the clips.  Hoping to do some more soon with a more driven sound on my VC30.  It was a bit too late in the evening for anything louder than the champ on 4.

It's hard to rock out with a baby in the house now :wink:

Nice tones man!

I was kind of checking out on those GS guitars, sound like very good value for money and available with stock BKP's? At least this shop has them.

Yeah they are pretty good but I would advise playing the one you buy rather than mail order.  I think they can be a little hit and miss and I know some people have had difficulty with finish rubbing off.  Mine's great though, I replaced the pickups myself but you can supply them any pickups if they make it to order (as mine was).

The ones I have played have all been acoustically very nice and good value for money.  Also the options are good, sometimes wish I had got a maple cap for aesthetics more than anything.

I'd definitely go for the BKP's rather than stock GS pickups, they did wonders for mine.....
