Not excatly the tone I was expecting but pc/speakers etc. play big part there

I think that's down to the recording. There's a lot of digital clipping on them, so the recording level was probably a bit hot.

You can definitely tell the difference with the Riff Raff's though, bet it sounds fantastic in the flesh. :D

Yeah, they do sound better in the flesh. I also had the volume rolled off a bit for my rhythm sound whcih will cut the treble a bit. I'm using 0.047 caps which are a bit too harsh, so I'm going to order some 0.022s from somewhere today. I'll try and get some more recordings done when I've sorted all that out.

PC's can do strange things to your sound. Mine makes it sound very compressed. It never seems to record the 'wall of sound' or the 'bite' wich my setup has live.

I didn't mean to offend you, Twinfan, in any way.

No offence taken my friend :)

That pickup sounded very close to me. Damn I'm a huge AC/DC fan from that era. Considering the gear your using it was remarkably close. The harshness that some talk about is exactly what your looking for when it comes to "Riff Raff". Listen to that tune over and over. It's got an amazingly amount of trebley grit to it that some may refer to as harsh. Thanks for the clip.
