Title: The Mule humbucker set- BKP Demo
Post by: Tim on April 20, 2005, 08:05:45 AM: Here you go guys, this is one that HJM and myself cooked up over the weekend to demonstrate the Mule humbucker set, nickel covered with Alnico IV magnets.
Guitar: '70 Gibson LP goldtop
Amp: JCM 800(no mods) into 2x 12 cab close mic'ed with a SM57

Backing-bridge p/up direct into JCM800
1st solo- neck p/up no effects
2nd solo-bridge p/up with SD1 and wah
3rd solo-bridge p/up Beano Boost.

HJM plays solo 1&3 and I took solo 2.

Amp settings remained the same through out and no EQ added to the recording.

Ahh...it's over the 2mb limit...Hey Ol help!!!!! We're only guitar pickers here!

LOL.

I *think* I may have found a loop hole which will allow us to upload more than 2 megs.

Working on it... :D

Ol.

If you're desperate you could always share them with yousendit.com or rapidshare.de (i think its .de, anyway), although i appreciate that that is very much a temporary measure only

I love both the pickup tone and the playing.

You guys have some great feel in those leads. I like the soulful bends. Very tasty!

I agree with you on this one. Except I'd say Robben Ford if Robben Ford were less.....well.....Dull :twisted:

Robben Ford can pull some scary stuff out of the bag when he has to and the phrasing....... 8) .I'm not a fan of that style in particular but I wish I could play that dull and HJMs seriously got it nailed.Check out the Black dog clip-excellent 8) !

I didn't call HJM's playing dull!!! lol

I really enjoyed it, first time I've really heard him play. I just find Robben Ford a bit sleep inducing is all. Same as Eric Johnson, also capable of scariness but overall just a bit....well....dull :)

Post by: Leafy-dono on May 14, 2005, 07:49:03 PM: Wow, nice stuff. I hear alot of Zakk Wylde licks in what I assume to be Tim. Right on.
Zakk's one of my biggest influences, even though I totally DON'T play like him.
Title: The Mule humbucker set- BKP Demo
Post by: Tim on May 23, 2005, 07:51:34 AM: Damn, found out :lol:

I love the full on style of players like Zakk and it also seemed a natural progression from the blues rock vibe of the track. What it does do is show the capabilities of The Mule when you step on the dirt and really dig in. I've played in an Ozzy tribute for the past 2 1/2 years and have always found it easier to lean towards the Wylde interpretations of the classic Rhoads and Lee material-he seems to inject so much fire into it-anyway I take out LPs on the gigs loaded with Miracle Man humbuckers but I'm using my Mule loaded Goldtop for alot of the show these days. The reward from a lower output set of pickups is a less compressed tone which = dynamics and a more natural,open sustain. You have to dig in a little more but all the chunk is there and the tone is HUGE 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :lol:

Title: The Mule humbucker set- BKP Demo
Post by: WITH FULL DISTORTION on June 18, 2005, 03:40:24 AM: Excellent playing and tone.
very crunchy, and articulated in the NECK.
great for LEADS.
I just miss some agressive Metal rhythm section on this soundclips. Q:)
but i liked the tone. very transparent on leads in both positions

Post by: indysmith on September 11, 2005, 12:19:21 PM: That was VERY kewl, i think i'm gonna go for that in the neck, the nailbomb in the bridge, but no ideas yet of what i'm putting in the middle. Actually never heard better neck pickup tone, it was immense! nice playing you guys. i'm going to practice...

:crazy2:
Title: The Mule humbucker set- BKP Demo
Post by: JamesHealey on May 14, 2006, 10:10:28 AM: i hear what your saying on the whole "lower output = more dynamics", i really love playing a low output pickups but i find them a lot harder to play for the faster stuff so it's a trade off really depends what your after.

Post by: wheelman on October 24, 2006, 07:52:00 AM: Love the tone and I could really hear Warren's sound. Were these potted or unpotted?
Title: The Mule humbucker set- BKP Demo
Post by: gingataff on October 24, 2006, 02:10:17 PM: I would say they're potted, the unpotted pups are a fairly recent product, compared to these clips anyway :)

Thanks for the tip. I'd like to hear some heavy rythym riiffing with this pup.

Try downloading again... try playing in an alternative player. It works fine here in WMP and VLC.
