Hi Tellboy, thanks for the message. ASBO is one of my favourites as well.Its a dark horse lurking at the back of the album, can you guess what BK pickup was on the van halen style riff on that track? Abraxas,Mule or Crawler? Your time starts now.

The only one of the three I've played is the Crawler. I've got a nickel covered set in a Les Paul and an uncovered bridge one in an Ibanez. They sound slightly different - not only because of the guitar construction but because the Ibanez Crawler is 52mm spacing (slightly higher DC resistance according to Tim) and has no cover. So Crawler would be my first choice - but as you are a "Mule Man" I would not put money on it.
Go on show me up and tell me it's an Abraxas :?

Its the Abraxas im afraid! Sorry no prise this time.
It can do alot of different tones very well, on "stratosfear" i used it and it did a great funky rock tone.

Got the CD today Steve, I have it on now and I'm really enjoying it!! Some really good tunes on it and such a good recording too! You have a really cool style!

What pups did you use for each track? As it's a really good reference as well!

Thanks Steve!

The tones are fantastic! It must have taken a lot of work to put that together, plus all the years of practising and gigging.

Cheers mate.
This album was written and recorded over a four month period in my spare time. Its something i had been meaning to do for ages. I drove my wife mad as i selfishly locked myself away in my recording studio (actually its my conservatory) at any spare moment.

4 months is good going. Girls just don't understand do they! :lol:

Do ever gig in London with your band Redfish?
