Title: Mule demo
Post by: Swede on May 12, 2005, 05:35:49 PM

Hi all!

I recorded a small clip with "The Mule" humbuckers. It's all done in one take, so it sounds a bit sloopy.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for your kind words, HJM!
I don't know who Carlton is, but I'll take that as a compliment!

I got the backing track from another forum, Thanks Mats!

I forgot to mention my equipment:
Navigator Les Paul with Mules
Roland Micro Cube (Black panel sim)
Boss Blues driver

Yeah, that's who I meant, I figured you'd know 'cause his playing is very similar in a lot of ways.  :lol:

Thanks all!
It's fun to hear that my playing sounds like someone I never heard of!  :lol:

I'll listen to Larry as soon as I get hold of some of his music.

The backing track was made by Mats Nermark,  whos is a good guitarist and writes for a Swedish music magazine called "Fuzz". He makes great BT's and shares them at a swedish guitar forum.

Here's a link to his version of the song: http://www.beggat.com/uploads/Window%20Pane%20050510.mp3

I take it you are referring to the  masters who all have that PRS rock sound on Blues rock tutorials (they seem to make their Cornfords sound like Line 6 PODs too)

I can't wait until I am as "sloppy" as you. Lovely, I really enjoyed that. I hope you don't mind but I have saved it and will be trying to figure it out. I really loved your artificial harmonics, really sweet.

Wow that Micro Cube sounds bloody perfect actually. Gotta see what the bigger Cubes are like if this is anything to go by, really liking that tone. Your playing is really good aswell. Did you use the Blues Driver for the overdrive or the amps channels?

'ello, 'ello - it's lets knock Guthrie, Phil and Jamie (and Cornford) time again is it?  Although I'm not a fan of some of their music (e.g. Guthrie's fusion/Asia stuff) I admire their talent. Certainly wouldn't like to be playing anywhere within 50 miles of Guthrie.

that playing is far from sloppy mate!

in fact it's really good, very nice tone. I'm getting a mule fitted to my JJ retro tommorow afternoon and cant wait! I chose the mule cos it seemed more dynamic that any other humbucker and that's where the feel comes from within a guitar solo's core soul.

What's your setup? and was it recorded from a bridge or neck mule? (I cant really tell)

cheers, and keep bangin em out!
