Author Topic: Dirty Sultan Solo (Read 14645 times)

Here's a solo I played on a session about a year ago, it was using the strat I used to do my comparison clips when it was loaded with sultans. They've got a bit more top end attack than the Apaches I have now. Anyway, it's through an Analogman King of Tone and a Fender Super Reverb Reissue that I rewired point to point. It's a bit low in the mix, and the slides aren't from me, that's the other session guy.

Recorded in a posh studio using lots of nice gear, but the amp was mic'd with a SM57 at about 6 inch from the centre of the cone.

Keeping this quiet as I've not asked permission....sssshhhh!

Sure - it was part of an album done by a singer songwriter called Michael Lovelock. Thanks for the comments!
