Bluesy Mule track
« on: September 17, 2006, 11:35:20 PM »
I hadnt recorded anything for ages so I decided to download some backing tracks and just jam along and record to see what it sounded like.. which means lots of mistakes :lol: I quite like the tone though so I thought I might as well post it as I have nothing better to do. Oh yeah its the neck pickup and its not me playing at the start, that was just included on the backing track.

Yeah its the neck Mule. Been jamming along to a "Texas shuffle" track on the middle setting with both Mules, it sounds almost stratty so I'll record it later to show you how good the middle setting sounds  8)

Cheers for all the comments :D

I was using my usual recording setup, Epiphone LP Custom with mules into V-Amp 2 which goes straight into the mic socket.

Tom, you are determined to make me buy some Mules aren't you? :D
Great playing and tone, again!

Do it! It'll be well worth it, only thing is when playing through a real amp they sound their best when the amp is cranked and your playing gets a bit agressive  :) Same as with any pickups though I suppose

Yep, i must agree with all the positive comments above. I hear a massive improvement in your playing on this clip, its very mature and the tone is great. Rock on mate!

:D I didnt realise my playing had changed at all but thanks for letting me know, thought I was stuck in one of those ruts. Still havent done that texas shuffle one yet but may do it over the weekend sometime.

Cheers :) Hopefully gonna get a SM57 soon-ish so I may be able to get some clips of these Mules through a proper amp!
