Gretsch Country Gent U2

[krnkink7]

hey do you think powertrons would sound good with this guitar?

[mick3b1g]

@krnkink7 prob i never tried the powertrons

[TheNewYorkTony]

Missed you guys when you where in town ( Troy - Clifton Park) NEED TO PLAY AT NORTHERN LIGHTS SOON PLZ,

[TheGuitarLoft]

Great sound!!

[WeslieJJ94]

Can you send me that guitar plz :D !! Really love this gretsch

[WeslieJJ94]

Which guitar is better? G5122 or G5120

[anstratdubh1979]

Sounds great! Love it.

[allmylifelovedtunes]

Hey Mick, can you do us a favor, please use that Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar to play some songs from the band Staind. I really want to see this guitar play heavy metal music.

[mick3b1g]

@allmylifelovedtunes those guys actually live one town over from me..well they did anyway.

[Jakeistoocool143]

@allmylifelovedtunes For the love of god, Staind is not heavy metal.

[jeffclark42]

Mick, really great tone. Are those the stock hs filtertrons? Did you do anything special setting up there heights or the adjusting the pole pieces?  Your u2 recordings are tops!

[mick3b1g]

@jeffclark42 in this video no but since yes i replaced the bridge pup with a TVJones filteron as i prefer its sound. I left the neck pup stock. The Gent comes with what they call high sensitive filterons but to me they were too mid rangy and sounded 1 dimensional like all pup no body type sound. They are hotter than the TV Jones.

Mick,what do you for a job?I know your work in a U2 tribute band,but what else do you do?just asking...no offence...just interested.jon.

[hadar249]

Sinceramente creo ke the edge ha desarrollado un tipo de sonido ke bien puede valer como terapia antiestrés, método de relajación, etc....Un hobbie ke permite al ke lo practika sentirse intensamente bien....It´s Great..

I think Edges built an incredible sistem not only for U2 sound...Cause you can taste it, play the covers and feel really good. I think Edge built a Good sistem or hobbie for helping people. Something like Tai-Chi, yoga etc...but with the sound.

[detoth67]

Nice job man! You nailed the sound.

I think I need a Gretsch BAD!

[johnson1095]

GREAT Cover!!!!!!!!!!!!

makes me feel just like i'm back in '97 @ Popmart!

OMG that was great

[Jezmfunk]

do you have a deluxe memory man???

great sound!,

[mick3b1g]

I do own one yes

[AntiRellik]

Are the VOX Pacemakers rare? I want to get one... hehe

[mick3b1g]

yea somewhat rare. pacemakers are the USA version of the Vox amp. Mine is a 1965.

[karimkauak]

play "Please", please ...

[cc1tran]

Some wonderful tones!!! I wish more musicians would focus more on the sound rather than the speed!

[Gstarmyggen]

where did you get the tabs!

Maybe you could link it as a comment?

Thanks!!! I would really appreciate it...

[karimkauak]

sounds beautiful, congrats from Chile, from an U2 fan

what delay do u use? I got SDD-3000

[mick3b1g]

Thanks in this clip it was the M13. I also have the 3000 :)

[mattdrive]

did u use m13 delay? I would like to know to decide if buy line 6 or not (u know how much modulated delay is important 4 u2 covers...)

[mick3b1g]

yes its listed on the right under more info. You can see it behind me on the desk

[gsxrose]

Great sound m8! Real soul.

[bonniemaisy]

Hi Mick

Great U2 cover version as ever!

Is that a re-issue Gretsch you have there?

Keep those tracks coming!!!

[WatchingViking]

I listened to this song (the original) while I was out running in the rain yesterday. Such a great feeling and the songs really help mentally when you're tired.

[tortuga809]

Mick:

That's the tube version of the pacemaker right?

[mick3b1g]

yes..All my recent clips are a 65 Vox Pacemaker. Small little tube amp that kicks ass in my opinion

[pacovailoes]

Great guitar sound

[Petro67]

Loved it! 5*****

[savatagegod]

awesome sounds!!

Your recording skill is great just like your teq.

[TheAmalgamut]

You need to upload the whole thing dude. Why don't you?

[cliath64]

Very well done! Great sound!

[TheRealEndless]

That Vox pacemaker sounds sooo sweet!

[delay62]

Always liked the live version better than the album. Hope they drag this one back out for the tour. Great work Mick.

[zootvgustavo]

Excelente como siempre Mick.

[stilwel]

That sounds great Mick. Looks like it's thicker than the Epi Riviera. You definitely need to play Magnificent with this one....asap.

[neobx2]

your new toy sounds awesome, are you changing the pups

[spikelive]

ciao cheers from italy

[vertigo233]

WOW...I think that it's the best sound that you've maded so far...
