Demo Room 2010-11-15 - Part 3: Bareknuckle's The Mule and Riff Raff, clean

[risk710]

Hello, great video! I have a kind of trivial question, were the mule and riff raft pickups potted or unspotted? I would really appreciate it if you could answer this question. gracias!

[hermeticoguitar]

@risk710

They are potted.

If you plan to use them under certain gain, you need potted pickups, to avoid squeals.

[GRIMAVERDE]

què modelo es la guitarra? por favor, mas preciso posible (soy italiano y no sè hablar muy bien espanol)

[hermeticoguitar]

@GRIMAVERDE

Dude, all the gear is listed in the additional info of the video.

Anyway, this is the guitar:

Prestige Heritage Standard with Bareknuckle's pickups set: The Mule (neck) and Riff Raff (bridge)

[GRIMAVERDE]

@hermeticoguitar sorry, i'm really stupid! thank you, man

[hermeticoguitar]

@GRIMAVERDE

Oh, don't say that. You just don't realized about it.

Thanks for your attention!.

Ciao.

Superb! I've just checked your blog. It's amazing. Already in my fovourites. Did you publish this LP wiring mod on your blog?

[hermeticoguitar]

@nunocarmona

Yes, I did. It's under the Wiring DIY section, probably, enter nr. X or around, just after the Jimmy Page's wiring mod.

[Crohny]

have the all black heritage standard. love that guitar. the stock pups arent doing it for me. thinking of getting bareknuckles, but going with warpigs. im a metal head ha. yours sounds fantastic. really thinking of getting the natural burst as well.

[hermeticoguitar]

@Crohny

Stock picks are Seymour Duncan '59 Neck and JB bridge and both sound awesome in this axe.

These two BKPs are very similar but, I found them more open, clear and harmonically richer.

For sure, warpings play in other league.

[Crohny]

@hermeticoguitar yeah , like i said i own this guitar. they arent bad pick ups, just not that great for doom and psyedelic metal. ha.

[jball476]

Thank you for sharing the actual tone of this amp rather than metal shredding crap like the other guys, You are the only person to do such a thing for the 1923c, Great Work thank you so much, now I need to buy one.

[hermeticoguitar]

@jball476

Very kind from your side. I love this amp to dead. I think it has all the fundational Marshall tones.

About shredding... well... it also bores me but, everyone has something different to say and, diversity is good.

[ibanezgast]

Thanks for this great video, great sounds. One question though, why do you have the Riff Raff in the bridge and not another Mule? Thanks

Lars

[hermeticoguitar]

@ibanezgast

Thanks to you for your attention.

Why Riff Raff?. This is the bridge one that Tim Mills (Bareknuckle Pickups) recommended to me, when I was asking him for pickups that can mime Jimmy Page's nr.1.

In certain way, The Mule + Riff Raff is quite similar to SD '59 + JB but, without the boominess of the 59 (and more 3D sound) and without the harsh edge of the JB.

[hermeticoguitar]

@hermeticoguitar

But, since I love so much the sound of The Mule (my prefered PAF sound), I bought a bridge one.

I just wanted first to demo the guitar with the Riff Raff before swapping it with a The Mule Bridge.

In that way, I can compare myself the videos and not just recall differences from memory.

If I am right, The Mule calibrate set is what will remain in this axe but, I need to be sure.

[ibanezgast]

@hermeticoguitar Thanks for the quick response;) Will you also make a vid with the 2 Mules? It would be interesting to see the differences between them. I love the switching-system in your les paul, it is also possible to do the switching system without the phase-inverter and the boost? Since I won't be using those sounds much. Thanks

Lars

[hermeticoguitar]

@ibanezgast

Yes, I will do some video with both Mules, as soon as I swap the bridge on.

About the switching system, yes, it's possible to do it without the OOP and serializer switches.

I see no issues.

[tollan23]

That's a really cool video! Thanks for posting! Do you have a diagram for the way you wired the guitar?

[hermeticoguitar]

@tollan23

Sure, look at my blog (link in my profile) and search for "LP Exchanger" mod. You can use google translation tools.

[tollan23]

@hermeticoguitar Cool, thanks for that! I had a look. Very cool blog! Is there anywhere I could download a pdf or jpeg of the wiring diagram?

[hermeticoguitar]

@tollan23

Dude, I told you. I cannot paste the link, since youtube doesn't allows it. Look at "Electronica para guitarristas X", in April / 2009.

Click on the picture to get a full size and then save it.

[tollan23]

@hermeticoguitar Aha! Got it :-) That's awesome.... I didn't quite understand; am still recovering from Christmas I think :-P

[The1970sInfatuate]

Incredible tone!
