Cheers James.  It's only the case that makes your CU24 look 'lesser'.

really nice clip on the orion too- is that the crunch channel?

It should have those speech bubble things on the clip telling you what settings I used?  The Jesus Just Left Chicago bit is the clean channel, and Cheap Sunglasses is the lead channel without the extra boost.....
touche, i tend to listen to the clip then open another window to get on with what i'm doing... :lol: thanks :)

Good stuff Dave - I like the Sloe Gin vid. Are you gonna sing it as well?
I think I hate being indecisive.

Err, I'm actually brushing up my singing as it happens  :oops:  I'm doing some backing in Doppelganger.

At some point in the future I want to front a 3-piece band....

well it is called faded denim so i guess they're doing their job right hehe

haha well I guess that makes sense then :P

been wanting to do something in a proper faded denim for a long time, partly because of the PRSi but also because of this insane guitar by a fella called marcovis over at project guitar

That looks fantastic.  I think "cold" colours like blue, purple and (especially) green look amazing on figured maple.  It's a shame Gibson don't expand their colour options a bit.

its a shame gibson dont use much wood like that - and i dread to think what they would charge for it if hey did - but i guess thats a discussion for another long thread

but yeah, purples greens and blues really work well

incedently - the top above is still covered in saw marks which minimises the figure quite significantly - gonna be awesome once i have it all smoothed out.

^ Wonderful ^

I can't wait to see that maple finished in that blue. I prefer that slightly darker hue to the wash of the faded denim.

Lovely bit of wood.

+1 on greens, blues and purples over figured maple... :)

combine those with bursts, and you've got an extra helping of awesome!
