Cream - Clapton Licks on a Gibson Firebird with Jason Lollar mini humbuckers

[fernandobocadillos]

HOW CAN I SAY IT. YOU ROCK. COULD YOU TAPE A MORE EXTENSIVE VIDEO? JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES WITH THAT FIREBIRD WITH THE LOLLAR MINIBUCKER PICK UPS. SOUND LIKE HEAVENAND TASTES LIKE ICE CREAM, MAN. OHHHHH FIREBIRDS...

[YohaneRockett]

What Strings do you use?

[MettleMontreal]

@YohaneRockett I forget. But rule of thumb for all my guitar strings is to get as heavy a gaue as the neck will allow for. My Strats have a heavier gauge than this Firebird. The heavier the gauge the better - at least for me.

great feel and love the tone! now, show your face and build a little recognition. you need to be noticed from your neck up too...haha! keep it up!

[GibsonMolosser]

lollar pickups are fucking great..love their P90s...sexy tone btw

[MettleMontreal]

@GibsonMolosser Thanks - was never a fan of the P90's at least Gibson's take on them - I think Lollar would do a better job of it :)

[hypnoxic]

nice tone, underrated guitar. i will have to look up those pick ups : )

[MettleMontreal]

@hypnoxic Thanks and agreed... the Firebird is very underrated not just for Johnny Winter style slide work. Tweaked right and in the right hands this one has sounded almost like a piano and even kinda like a wind instrument.

[MegaLotusEater]

@MettleMontreal He meant what amp channel are you using.

[MettleMontreal]

@MegaLotusEater JVM 210C sounds even better on an early eighties Mesa Boogie or early seventies Fender Twin... will post vids when we get a chance.

@kissrocks45 Cleanest settings

[MettleMontreal]

Over drive is via the Semour Duncan Twin Tube Classic

[MettleMontreal]

Overdrive is via the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic

@kissrocks45 Cleanest settings on the Marshall. Overdrive is via the pedal.
