Title: SRV Inspired Clip (VHII + Irish Tour).
Post by: JamesHealey on March 25, 2006, 03:28:04 PM: This is a SRV inspired tune, (no shite).

This was recorded on a Screamer 50 watt Combo on clean channel with hi gain selected.. like the 2nd channel with the input gain turned down slightly to get a really responsive sound.

the pickup being used is a VHII and Irish Tour, 4th selection on a HSH Ash Bodied Start w/Ebony Board.

I likey this one.

nothing fancy, just takes a while to get the right sounds out of it.

VHII, Irish Tour, VHII

I recorded this with the middle & neck pickup together so it's VHII & Irishtour together..

I've recently replaced the Neck Pickup with a Cold Sweat, just play better for fast lead etc... also changed my amp since i recorded this might, re-record it to give u an idea.

The Irish Tours are not imparticularly noisy, no more than a good single coil would be, I really dig the honk in the mid range it's a beautiful tone.
The VHII Bridge pickup is stunning.. so is the neck one but it kept feeding back in high gain situations live so i got something geared a bit more towards shredding on the neck.

Post by: JamesHealey on August 03, 2006, 04:25:18 PM: This is a record of that for you

This is purely using the Irish Tour in the middle, no VHII or Cold Sweat.

Same guitar, different amp.

Post by: LiamH on August 13, 2006, 09:55:16 PM: I prefer the first version, I like the way certain of the phrases sound like they are "running out of breath". I am not sure whether that will make sense to anyone but me. But it's that sustain with an uneven volume that I love, it seems to come from strats more often than not.

Post by: _tom_ on August 13, 2006, 10:56:04 PM: I definately prefer the 2nd clip, which amp did you use for that?

Post by: _tom_ on August 14, 2006, 02:08:12 PM: Ah, I really wanna play one of those some time, you always have good tone on your recordings with it!

Post by: fps_dean on August 16, 2006, 07:59:12 PM: Very nice smooth glossy tone...... my tone always ends up being fatter, but I like your tone equally well.

We have similiar, varied tastes in music too I am finding.

Post by: JamesHealey on August 18, 2006, 10:46:12 AM: cheers dean, yea I try to listen to everything from Andy Timmons to Decapitated from Whitesnake to Frank Zappa, SRV and Acid Techno and everything inbetween.. It's all good.

Yea tom if u manage to see one, buy it! im still to find a better sounding amp and i've been comparing it to amps with 3k and 4k price tags and this thing cost me 300 quid.
