Hideaway With Swart Space Tone and R4 Les Paul

[Periphery100]

Hi- you really get great vintage tone- sort of a tight woody and dry sound? Have you ever tried flatwounds on your R4? I like the TI Jazz Swing 11's best. Thanks for sharing all the vids.

[Noitpure]

@Periphery100 Thank you. No, I've never tried flatwounds on the R4 but I have considered trying them out. Very well may have to do so now. That's for the suggestion! : ) Take care, T

Nice job! Now I will have to rethink if I should post mine! Maybe with a 335 and a 65 Vibro Champ just to be a bit different! :) Thanks!

[Noitpure]

@tenorbanjoguy Thank you! Please post yours. Would love to hear it with a 335/Vibro Champ. Looking forward to hearing yours! Best wishes, T

Always a pleasure to watch and hear you play. I envy your fine exquisite gear and the true vintage tones you are able to create. You have a true passion for music, fine gear and pure sound.

Please tell me more about that little Swart. I've been thinking about getting one myself for a little while now. Do you find it reliable and sturdy ? Have you experienced any part failures or tone loss overtime ?

Thanks and all the best for 2012. Health, love, peace and lots....lots of music. :)

[Noitpure]

@zwizel Wow! What a nice comment. Thank you. I LOVE the little Swart Space Tone. I have a few amps to choose from and this little guy is what I pick 9 out of 10 times playing anymore. IMHO it's the perfect at home/small quietish gig amp for those folks who like pure simple tone. I've had this little guy for around three years now and it keeps sounding better and better. I put some good NOS tubes in it and that's it. Zero problems w/ it and a high quality build.

[zwizel]

@Noitpure Did you need to re-bias the amp after you replaced the tubes ?

(thanks again:)

[Noitpure]

@zwizel No it's cathode based so no biasing needed. Just drop them in and go! : ) Your most welcome. : )

[Noitpure]

@zwizel And sending you best wishes to you and yours in 2012! Take care, T

[gibsonguitar1988]

Thanks for posting this! This music is one of my favourites, and love to hear all renditions. Your tone and playing are awesome, but they always are. This 54RI is a dream! Happy holidays!

@BluesZep Thanks! I can only imagine the killer tone and playing to be had with a R4 in your hands! I'm so glad that there are others who love this music. Happy Holidays!

Super nice Freddie style hammers and swapping between rhythm and lead. The two-P-90 sound is particularly sweet too. Great vid, and happy holidays!
