Wonderful Land - The Shadows 1962

Here is my attempt on wonderful 'Wonderful Land' , a Jerry Lordan composition which I think is a must play for all Shads fans. I used the original track with the lead guitar muted. I must say that the removal of the lead guitar part is not 100% accurate as I can still hear a tiny sound from the original on one or two parts of the song. But overall it is very much muted.

I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to comment.

I am also curious about the pick ups and strings you are using! Great job!

Thanks again

@GuyBodart The pickups are sliders pickups (proudly Australian), Rotosound strings 13-54 with wound 3rd.

@GuyBodart I am using a modified old Vox "Long Tom" tape echo which has similar circuits to the Meazzis.

@DAVEBLISS2007 Hi there mate,

The head spacing is altered at all. But there mini switches and toggles installed for head selection both for repeats and feedbacks. Also the volume of heads 5 and 6.

Hope this helps.
