hey starman great playing, what years are your 335's? and necks slim taper, name? casino? i want to buy one, but want your style 335 the black looks nice any suggestions thanks a fan from boston mass
Sweet Tone. I love 335's too. Great demo but without your amp, amp settings, pedals, signal-chain etc, the demo is meaningless because we don't have a perspective on what the amp and pedals are contributing to the overall sound. Could you fill in the gap for us?
Thanks...Ok, from what I remember, All tone controls on bothe 335's were all the way up, volume comstrols up all the way except when I was in the middle postion (bothe pickups) I rolled the neck pickup volume back about 2 numbers. The chain was overdrive (Zendrive 2 i think) and TC Nova delay into a vintage vibroverb. On the amp the Volume was on about 2.5, treble 6, bass 4, reverb 2.5. Basically a moderate overdrive into a pretty clean sounding Fender with a little delay to fatten it up.....
The live gig vids have me playing out of my Black face Twin Reverb, also with a 15" speaker. It's big and bad ! It was modded by Riveria in the 70's....
Just for the record, when I said "The 83", I'm referring to the blonde guitar (1983), and "The 81" black guitar (1981). The Blonde has WB Vintage Tuned Pickups, and the black 335 has WCR "Darkburst" pickups....
This is what frustrates me about music and musicians, that someone can play this well and be virtually unknown (no disrespect intended).
I mean this cat flat out kills!!.. truly a master of the instrument. I could listen to this guy play all day long, the music just seems to pour out of him.. in an endless sea of posers your the real deal my friend!!!
Hey Frank, I'll admit, those are two of the hottest guitars anywhere, and the vintage Vibroverb is to die for. But how come nobody get excited about that way-cool metronome on the table?
Frank, that was very informative and I think I might like to put the WTR's in my Les Paul. You played some killer licks in the demo too. If it was only that easy for everybody.......
you mind leaving some skill for the rest of us..

Do you recall the settings on your Zendrive 2? I'm guessing you probably don't, but here's for trying...

Man, that's the last thing I was hoping to hear :)
Vibroverbs are so expensive. I've seen some of your gig videos and are you using this same amp for gigs as well?
