Hey Guys! some more recordings of a composition project with my band. this one's a groovy mean old one in drop Ab on my 7 string. this is mostly to showcase the awesomely metal capabilities of the black dog 7 pickup
guitar: Schecter loomis 7 fixed bridge. ash body, maple neck and fretboard.
amp: traynor ycs100h with two tubes pulled. slightly crunchy. GGG ITS8 tube screamer clone to smash the front end.
apologies for some timing mistakes, this is our first decent recording of our new composition. didn't include all of it, as the rest is a cleany part using mostly my mule neck. that might come later!
i do think the tone is perfectly brutal for a 'vintage hot' pickup, though you really need to mash them strings for it to come out right, i like that
oh yeah. forgot to mention, this was recorded with an apex460 tube mic in the center, and a AE4500 mic for guitar. but not mixed at all, so the cymbals really blare into the mix. more of a working track for us than a proud recording ;)

Well I'm no fan of metal, but I have to say that was really good. As you said the drums were too far forward, but nevertheless your playing was shining through. Excellent sense of rhythm and attack.

Ahhh I love black dogs for the low stuff. :) Glad to hear you're getting on well with yours! :)

Cheers! i am indeed getting on very well with it. it was hard love at first, but a few months down the line, it feels natural. i love the dynamic it gives me.
thanks for suggesting them to me about a year ago! still, tim gave me the same advice, and I say we should all stand by rule no 1
